Very comfortable bed & breakfast was a treat. Considering it was a central pub, it was very quiet.

Debbie Australia

Overall great vibe with a friendly mix of guests. We had a private room and bathroom and the room was comfortable and clean and even had heated blankets. Good options for breakfast and a nice common room where we were able to watch TV. The restaurant in the hotel was fantastic.

Great central place in the middle of Deloraine. The owners and staff were very friendly and made me feel at home. The Breakfast was free and had everything you could need, toast, yoghurt,fruit, fruit juice,cereals,tea and coffee. The breakfast room is a friendly space. The food was amazing,they have a great menu. I was surprised at how trendy the menu was and it had a lot of choices. All in all a great place to stay.
