Overnight stay. Close to centre of town so an easy walk around the shops. Restaurant had a good menu and staff very friendly and helpful. Wednesday night and restaurant was full so this indicates the popularity and quality of the hotel.

We loved our stay since it was the perfect Australian hotel that we imagined an Australian hotel would be. It was clean, had a great dining room, very helpful staff, and a great bathroom in our queen suite. We will stay there again and will recommend it to all our Californian friends

Second stay here. Accomodation is upstairs not possible for some with movement limitations. Restaurant and cocktail bar are both good quality and reasonable value
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great to sign in after hours Everyone else in town had closed their desks
Fiona, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice big room, handy location, but because of this very noisy. Bear in mind this is a traditional hotel building with accommodation rooms on the upper floor. Many stairs & no lifts.
Glyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely old building, very convenient, not overpriced. Bed was a little soft, but otherwise facilities were excellent. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
Debra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was okay, no soap at all, the stairs to access the rooms too narrow and too many.
Neville, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was pleasantly surprised. Most Tavern/hotel rooms are very basic, with often shared bathrooms etc. This had it all. Good value for money also.
