Lunatic Hotel reviews

5 Star Review by andrew hayes

Had an unreal night with the staff and locals on a full moon. It is very apt being called the Lunatic Hotel, but in a very endearing way. Tash in the bar was so welcoming and professional. Phil and Nikki run a fun but tight ship and make everyone feel welcome. Clean but basic accommodation is perfect for an experience in a small village you will never forget. Thanks to all the team and especially the incredible laugh a minute locals.
