The Excitement was taken away very quickly by staff .. (but it was a personal negative experience).. if you live & love cars and racing go you won’t be disappointed... but “Bathurst in my opinion” is far better all round.

Friendly country town; I only stayed one night but will definitely be back for longer! Dinner came from the Tailem Takeaway & Pizza, and I ate at the ferry overlook, beautiful scene for an outdoor meal. I missed the Big Olive and Beston Jervois for lack of time however they are on my list to revisit. Railway Museum is chock full of info and the 'Uneek' animals display is well done. The Jervois Rhino always gets a cheeky selfie too. Old Tailem Town is incredible, it really feels like a time-warp and is a fantastic look at Australia's past. Well worth a day to visit (expect 2-3 hours to walk around for the full experience). Ten out of Ten, Tailem!

Great little town, has everything you need. Old Tailem town is a highlight, worth a visit. Go Karts was heaps of fun out at the Bend. Great Bakery, and the pizza place was good also. Was told one of the pubs was better than the other, but to be honest couldn’t fault either, you will get good food and service from both.

Although on this trip we only stayed at The Bend Motorsport Park, which is a short distance out of the actual town.... Other visits to the town itself have been great. The Hotel/pub across from the train station has the BEST steaks. The river is great for the fishing enthusiast. There's plenty of spaces for the kids to run around and get worn out, so they sleep well at night. The Motorsport Park itself is a HUGE asset for the town. With go-karting. A future drag strip. Car and motorbike racing. A 4WD track. A BIG4 holiday park and Challets. I can only see greater things happening here. Maybe more activities for families. It's a 'Watch this space' town.

Rydges is 5km out of town, so not within walking distance to Tailem Bend. The town itself is small, but nice. There are little shops scattered about as well as a couple of pubs. The town is easy to drive around. I am not sure if there is a taxi service. A bigger town, Murray Bridge, is about 20 kms away, by car. We chose to eat at Rydges for breakfast and dinner both days as it was very convenient, the food was great and the staff, excellent.

Great spot on banks of the mighty Murray River! The Bend Motorsport Park such a unique location to stay wether interested in the motor racing events or not. Display of racing cars in Welcome Centre world class, as the whole precinct.
