Great but a too bright
great location with easy access to Eildon and surroundings, all was very good except the room's porch lighting which is on all night and shines into the room - so room is only semi dark. For me tough to sleep.

A real little gem. Rooms are basic but have everything you need for a short stay, spotlessly clean & cosy. The bistro is a great thing to have in such a small country staff & all the staff we interacted with at the bar & in the bistro were just fantastic. Great experience & would definitely stay again if in the area 👍

A small friendly motel, comfy beds and clean
Very wet outside for our stay. Given the muddy surrounds, an internal mat/ rack for mucky shoes would be good.
