He let us use the restaurant dining room tables to do some work while the restaurant was closed. He even hand delivered some towels to our room. Marcus gave us gym, pool and wifi passes, and then even comp'd a drink from the mini-bar when we left! All the staff were very friendly, even the housekeeping staff will smile and say hello when you walk past. The rooms have been re-furbed and are modern and comfortable. The windows are double glazed so there isn't much street noise even in the rooms facing the main street. The breakfast was just average; on the plus side the juice and milk was nice and cold, but on the downside the eggs were a little undercooked (white was still runny).

As such it was actually within walking distance from where the train dumped me. While there was nothing all that fancy about the place, check in was pretty quick, the rooms were comfortable, and there was some good places for food within walking distance. The wi-fi wasn't bad at all either. I liked the place.

I stayed there one night as part of Bunyip's three day tour (so I can't comment on cost, as it was included in the tour price), and enjoyed it immensely. The lodge (which had couches, pool tables, and a bar) and the outdoor kitchen and eating area were basic, as a hunting or camping lodge would be expected to be. The sleeping arrangements consisted of a number of bunkroom cabins, each their own porches to sit out on and enjoy the outback. The bathrooms are a bit old fashioned, but that added to the charm for me, reminding me of fishing trips with my dad. The place felt comfortable and cozy. The lodge was also a flight strip for bush pilots and a four-wheeler course on the property. (I did not participate in the four-wheel experience, but my two tour-mates who did said they quite enjoyed it.) My tour-mates and I wandered out to the flight strip (each of us well-dowsed in mosquito repellent) and set up chairs to watch the sunset with no other buildings or people in sight. Later that night, we went out and looked up at a sky brightly lit with stars, in which the Milky Way was a clearly visible streak across the sky. I also had the Southern Cross constellation pointed out to me, something I was looking forward to seeing on the trip. The experience was wonderful.

So, you have this pub, which is rather nice. Sure, the beer selection, well, it isn't all that great, but that is sort of to be expected, especially in a small town like Dimboola. However, the service was pretty good, and they do have quite a large beer garden out the back as well. I probably should also mention that they do a decent fish & chips as well, particularly since it is the only place you can get a feed after a certain hour.

We stayed in room #11 and the view was breathtaking. A large paddock with kangaroos grazing and the Grampians too! The rooms were really clean and the bathroom was super clean too.
