Dining at the restaurant was a real treat and surperb. Food was fantastic and satisfied both adults and growing teenage boy. Massive meals, highly recommend the sausage platter and share for two. Yet get to try 4 different flavours with the best chips ever. When you see locals coming in and ordering take home meals - you know its good.

My wife and I enjoy these efficiency hotels. When we are out enjoying the beautiful trecks in the area, we don't need a luxury hotel. For the price we got clean safe and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.
