“An impeccably restored hotel with the warmest, most welcoming hosts. Tim & Sue are exceptional at what they do, and it truly shows. A peaceful stay surrounded by rich Aussie history, fascinating mining relics, rolling hills, and hands-down the best pub grub you’ll find anywhere. Do support this dynamic duo in this gorgeous little country town—we’ll definitely be back to stay in the stunning Coach House next time.”

“What a fantastic find on our travels, great spot to pull in for the night. The food at the pub was amazing, plenty of room out the back to park the caravan. Thank you.”

“Blown away. Driving past, no fast food anywhere to be found today, so pulled into this random pub. Guy behind the bar was very friendly, the look of the interior instantly put me at ease, albeit the 1940s music is trash . Then came the food. Holy crap. $69 fed 4 of us. Kids got the best nuggets they've ever had and the chips, oh my God the chips. I rate chips everywhere i go and these chips were top 5 ever in the entire damn world. Wide had a vego meal and loved it. My fish was quite good without being great. Bought another serving of chips for the road, because I couldn't leave without having more. Wow”
