We were walking past The George and saw the cafe in the laneway and thought it look great, so we decided to stop and have something to eat. We ordered a pot of tea and already made up rolls which we asked to be toasted. From there it went pear shaped. The tea took 35 minutes to get to our... More

This hotel seems to have been recently refurbished. The Bars are very comfortable, complete with lounging bars with fireplace and interesting historic displays. However along the laneway entrance to the hotel is a great coffee/deli/cakeshop, an outdoor area (with heaters) with a bar menu as well. Finally there is a great restaurant. The gnocchi with butter, sage and woodfired pumpkin... More

We stayed here Friday and Saturday nights. Yes, a bit noisy, but what do you expect in the middle of town? Definitely not rowdy, just people having a great time. Meal downstairs in bar was spot on, excellent steak with creamy mash, yum! Rooms very clean and nicely appointed.

There's a tie-in with the local RSL with memorabilia and photos of old soldiers adorning the walls - all very interesting and they add to the character. Rooms are large and comfortable. Our bathrom was separated from the bedroom itself by a frosted... More

The stand out for us was the sensational big breakfast ! Best we have had, even spoke to the chef and we told him it was great, presentation was fantastic. Also had the steak for tea in the front bar, great meal, the mrs had the whiting, also yummy, great beer range as well !

We stayed 2 nights in a suite on the 2nd floor. On arrival we were amazed at the beautiful decor and the huge area of our rooms. The bedroom is separate from the lounge and has a good sized bathroom. The loungeroom has a mini kitchen with hotplate, oven, microwave, sink, washingmachine and fridge. The staff are very friendly and... More

Well for an RSL this is a great hotel. The food was good value for money and very tasty. The renovation of this property has been done to a high standard. We were very impressed. This is a good place to take a family on a budget.
