Paperbark Retreat

Paperbark Retreat

8/10 Good
"This is a superior guest house, rather than a traditional hotel with all of the strengths and weaknesses that brings. One of the great strengths is the ability to BYOB and consume in comfortable surroundings without paying over the odds. The owners are always on hand for knowledgeable advice and a chat. The disadvantage is that the ancillaries are necessarily more constrained than in a hotel. The property was built as a fishing lodge, and is set in attractive grounds near the Endeavour river with deep cool shaded elevated verandas and a very comfortable common lounge. The bedrooms are in keeping with the original design."

Sovereign Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"Beds were extremely comfortable. Fresh towels each day. Pool area and pool was just lovely but too cold to use for the time of year. Great location to walk everywhere. Room needed some maintenance- alot of the shutter slats were broken and there was no alternative (ie curtains) to pull over the windows. Broken tiles at the bottom of the shower wall allowing all the water to run into the internal wall (not that it bothered us but it should bother the resort!)"
