The room was overstuffed with furniture and difficult to manoeuvre. The coffee was undrinkable and I paid $16 AUD for 2 pieces of toast. Situated a fair distance from the town centre, so would have chosen differently in hindsight.

Very pleasantly surprised.

I stayed for 2 nights whilst on business locally. My initial thought on booking was, it'll do but I was very pleasantly surprised. With it's warm, super friendly atmosphere and cosy furnishings I decided not to venture out & stayed to dine here both nights. I very much enjoyed my meals so much so I went for the Roast Dinner on both evenings - I can highly recommend. Thank you to Emma & Shane, sorry I didn't take the names of the other peeps but they were all lovely!
