Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice and clean, great spot, always a good time when we stay here.
Extremely competent helpful staff, v attractive highly functional share areas, more than adequate private room, quiet location tho close to town centre. Best value accommodation I've had in years.
Room was great, walking distance to the lovely Yungaburra village, Peterson Creek walking track and platypus viewing platform. Also a lovely outdoor area with hammocks and eating area
Staff are so friendly and informative about what there is to do around the Tablelands.
We stayed in one of the private rooms with aircon and it was really clean. Showers were amazing. The area in which you cook/eat, hangout and toilets were always spotless. Would recommend to anyone, and planning our next stay already!
