We had beautiful fish, chips and salad..they have great menu available. We sat outside in outdoor eating area. Very casual and a pleasant dining out experience.

Recently my family and friends booked a large table for a birthday celebration. The food and service was above and beyond. A complimentary birthday cake was supplied in a matter of minutes. Can't express highly enough, great service. We will support you again. Thank you all involved.
5 Star Review by Melissa Pye
Absolutely awesome service from Brad and Debi. From the time of checking in, we felt completely welcomed and were blown away by the atmosphere of the beer garden. The service and food in the Bistro was excellent... highly recommend the chilli prawns! The room was clean and spacious and could not ask for a better location. 10/10

We checked in and then checked out within an hour. It's a pretty dirty, smelly, unclean place to stay. Didn't feel like a safe place to stay with kids. We spoke with the customer service lady about our experience and she tried to get me to jump through hoops to get a refund and was pretty rude to deal with. Overall a disappointing experience. Other than that hotel, the trip was great :)

The hotel is currently being renovated after the recent floods but don't let that out you off. The rooms are clean and tidy, aircon and TV. If you want a cheap good night's sleep after a great meal in the bar this is for you.
