Overall, the setting is fantastic and the surroundings are relaxing, tranquil and a great pre-flight retreat. You will certainly enjoy it better than most non-hub lounges.
Mmmmm - yes and no... Sticky Wicket definitely far superior to Club whatsit that BA use to the point that Mrs Rotorhead and I wander over there and pay in preference to spending time in the free third party BA lounge whenever we're transiting through ANU. However, service was adequate but not great the last few occasions, in particular staff getting very surly indeed about giving change to bills - they seem to think it is a right to keep 25%+ of an already hefty bill for a few beers.... left a sour taste. Not that that is an issue when you are using old Beardies vouchers
