Not only are our hotels receiving recognition from widely-known TripAdvisor.com, but also our favourite spots to sip a cold beer, hang out with friends or enjoy a nice meal.
The New Nadi Farmers Club Bar Restaurant was awarded a Certificate of Excellence from this famous travel website.
For two and a half years, couple, Tom Liu and Tracey Farrington have successfully run the hotspot for tourists, expatriates and locals alike.
Whether it’s sipping on a glass of wine, enjoying live music, or making use of the ‘happy hour’ the restaurant has, it’s no wonder they have received thumbs-up from their customers.
The name
The couple acquired the club, initially known as Farmers Club.
Director Ms Farrington said they wanted to create a spot that attracted a variety of people.
“We’re passionate about our work and we put our hearts into the business and our customers who visit ‘The New Nadi Farmers Club Bar Restaurant’ really love it,” she said.
“And so many of our visitors have posted positive reviews on Trip Advisor.”
The attraction
Ms Farrington said the business has significantly changed mainly because of the attractive services they provide.
“We have extended the size of the club by taking the land next to the river where we have created the ‘Tropical garden with Fijian Bures & Aussie Beer garden and river side deck.”
This is the hub of the club with free live music and show entertainment.
Clothing line
But there’s more to club than your everyday or every night hangout if you may call it.
In fact, it is home to the Ms Farrington’s clothing line, BONDI BEACH BAG CO FIJI Boutique Retail & Wholesale.
Ms Farrington has been a prominent fashion designer in Australia for over 25 years and this is an extension of her Australian business here.
She supplies to major department stores like Myer and David Jones, other boutiques in Australia, Pacific, Caribbean and Europe.
Expansion plans
Ms Farrington indicated they have plans to grow the business even further.
“Our new developments are part of improving the quality of entertainment for the people of Fiji,” she said.
