Modern and cozy rooms, very clean. Make sure you ask for a room Not on main road, otherwise you hear trucks passing all night. I liked it, just the road noise made it hard to sleep.

Beautiful old pub with quality renovations. Fabulous dining room with lots of options and a great wine list. The bedrooms were on the small side but very comfortable and so nice to see a coffee machine. It was a very convenient stay on our trip to Melbourne. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
