Blue Gum Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Chris Delaney
Great pub, nice meals.... although not 'amazing' value. Accommodation up stairs is also quite good. Clean and comfortable rooms, although road noise might bother light sleepers. Accommodation includes continental breakfast.
2 Star Review by Kalinka Roulstone
The lady who seemed to be the manager served wine that had turned to vinegar when asked to change it to another she argued saying that's just what happens to wine and this is an establishment not your house and that someone else would buy the wine. Openly declaring that she would be happy serving an off wine to another guest was terrible. She then wanted to charge the price for half a bottle to open another that wasn't off because we were wasting a glass of the off wine! This really spoiled our evening, won't be going back.

Went for lunch with friends. Good range of food types, generous portion sizes, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere, convenient parking. Definitely would go there again.

Good pub during the day before the kids arrive. Last 3 times the parmagania and steaks have been dry and overcooked. Pub is still great food is going downhill

Unfriendly and unwelcoming staff ! Rooms are very ordinary, no fridge , and have to share a kitchen. The shower had a dribble that you could barely wash yourself, had a small sign in the bathroom stating water pressure issues however they dont explain that when you are paying you money . Hwy noise terrible, never return to this place even if they gave me a room for free .

First of couldn't decide what to have until my partner spotted the special next to the bar - BLAT with aioli (bacon lettuce avocado tomato) on Turkish toasted with side of chips, so we ordered. I asked for crispy bacon on both BLAT absolutely amazing and hands down the best bloody blat I have ever had. Chips were seasoned to perfection with crispy crunch on the outside and to die for on the inside. After lunch I had to go back with plates in my hand and personally thank this chef for his amazing food, credit to you, You are asset to this hotel and your food is amazing. Pic 1 is the chef Pic 2 and pic 3 is the blat and chips Thanks for lunch we will be back hoping to see this chef again! I give this chef a 11/10 and his food!
