Lovely old pub with alot of charm.
Rooms were smaller but very comfortable. The town is lovely. It had single sex shared bathroom that was spotless and a community kitchen that was well stocked. The meals were great

Overall a good budget stay withing reasonable driving distance from Cradle mountain. Room and bathrooms felt clean, simple "kitchen area" (fridge, sink, kettle, microwave) Friendly staff and good "pub food". The building could do with a bit more maintenance, but still a decent place for a few nights
Clean bathroom and toilet . You will find good water pressure at shower and hair dryer provided.

Nice place about 40 minutes drive from Cradle Mountain. It was great to have the pub/restaurant attached. Aside from the wifi being a bit patchy, the accommodation was great.
