Inside rooms in the old house are lovely and furnished appropriately and renovated. The motel rooms however are extremely small and salvo/vinnie style furnished and in need of a good update and renovation inside and out!. The motel rooms are small and just acceptable for 2 people but not recommended for 3 even though they have 3 beds. Bathroom door is only about 50cm wide with an extremely small combined toilet and shower. Better find another hotel. .large peeps!

We experienced a warm welcome from Jodie who took us to the most amazing room; crisp white sheets and a feeling of being in an historical building (which of course we were!). The hotel was spotless and breakfast was offered in our room!
Excellent- well worth a stay.

Weve just had a great stay of four nights in total. Really well located in a beautiful old BH house. Staying in the main house was great as you got a sense of the history of the home and the town. While the place is older and a little run down it is very clean and comfortable. Jodie the manager was super friendly and helpful and very welcoming. We look forward to our next stay when we return to this unique part of Australia!

A/C switch wasn't labelled so had a hard time figuring out how to turn it on, outlet next to the bed was broken, switch for the A/C unit operated backwards. Other than that it was a great night! Comfortable beds, clean room & friendly service
