Dining at the restaurant was a real treat and surperb. Food was fantastic and satisfied both adults and growing teenage boy. Massive meals, highly recommend the sausage platter and share for two. Yet get to try 4 different flavours with the best chips ever. When you see locals coming in and ordering take home meals - you know its good.

My wife and I enjoy these efficiency hotels. When we are out enjoying the beautiful trecks in the area, we don't need a luxury hotel. For the price we got clean safe and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.

Easy access to shop etc. Cleanliness of the room was ok but windows need attention inside and out. I understand that there is gravel outside but inside needs cleaned. The kitchen tap leaks and did last time we stayed in that room a year or so ago.
