“Location is convenient, rooms are spacious, a well-priced option for the travelling worker.”
The room is larger than most. The Shower water pressure, temperature and flow was brilliant. Everything was there and mostly worked.

“Comfortable stay”
Comfortable stay and spacious room. The shower pressure was incredible! Rooms are older but well maintained. Room backs onto the pub and there was very little noise experienced. Great location just a few minutes outside of the main hub of Airlie.

The rooms are simple, easy to get into and large in terms of walking room. Loved that the aircon was on for us already when we arrived. Thankyou to the receptionist, she was absolutely lovely :) The water pressure in the shower is amazing and you definitely don't need to worry about the hot water because that is definitely HOT! Which was great for us! Overall, a great stay :)
