Wonderful

Great place to stay. Nice room but without a reading bed lamp. Not sure whether they service the rooms everyday, but are happy to help with anything you require. Can be a little noisy if music is playing downstairs but this doesn't go late into the night.
Pretty good except fire alarms going off twice but overall it was awesome the food was excellent and staff very friendly and made you feel welcome definitely go back again

Quick and easy self check in and a neat and tidy room.
It was really cheap for a weekend stay. We got a park under the hotel which was great. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is also in a great central location to the town and beach.

Clean facilities great and helpful staff limited parking space but everything was nearby great experience overall
Check-in was easy and the room was easy to find. The room was clean and had everything we needed. I was surprise how quiet the room was whilst being above the brewery. Overall a great stay for an easy one night
Very clean and comfortable room. No frills, but exactly as advertised. There was a lift up to the room, and the kiosk at the front of the Pub (Woobly Chook) was easy to navigate and get our key dispensed.
It was a wonderful little find - from a friendly welcoming on our arrival, to departure every staff member we met was great. The room was lovely and clean, had everything we needed for the night.
