Food offerings are pretty limited, you choose from an illustrated card, but ok. Alcohol is from the bar but coffee and some snacks are self serve. Finding a seat and quiet area has never been a problem.
Would I pay for the privilege? Not sure! The terminal is new and airy with plenty of f&b outlets, shops and, of course, slot machines. It has also the advantage of a view to the outside, the Lounge has no windows (like the casinos).
As I am lucky enough to have Gold Card I have enjoyed complementary access, if this expires I think I would save the entrance fee to spend elsewhere .
Certainly no illustrated card last week when I was there and everything is self serve other than the bar. It's close the gates for sure and just wish if had windows. I agree the terminal is fresh and does have a good few food/drink outlets.
If I was not a Au holder, I am not sure I would pay extra to access but its a quiet space to spend a couple of hrs.
