Worst Service Ever, Very Average Food This place is probably…read morefine if you just a want a drink at the bar, but be warned if you try to order lunch on the weekend. We waited over an hour for our food to arrive, with no warning about waits or apologies. When one of us went to inquire with a waitress and ask if they might at least send out a bowl of wedges while we wait, she was extremely rude and offered us nothing. When the food did come out, there was no cutlery. When one of us went to ask for some, the waitress said "What do you need that for, I've only got two sets right now.." Umm hello? All of us had schnitzel, lasagne or salad that clearly requires forks. When they finally got some cutlery, the waitress chucked it all at one of my friends and said "Here, you hand these out." Food portions were tiny for pub standards and pretty tasteless.

These guys were great, Greg and Susan made me feel really welcome. The room I stayed in was freshly…read morerenovated with some nice modern finishes. It was comfy and there was plenty of room. The WiFi was pretty good and there was room to set up my laptop. Totally loved the shower! You know those water saving shower heads that shoot three little jets of water at your skin at high velocity? This was definately not one of those! A nice wide, square modern shower head, at a good comfortable height and a soothing gentle torrent of water were what greeted me in the morning when I went to take a shower. So nice to have a great motel shower for a change. All in all this was a really nice place. Wouldn't even hesitate recommending this place to anyone! It is so nice when a motel just gets it right!

And it should - rumour has it it's the oldest tourist hotel in Australia, continuously operating since 1878. Playing host to royalty and the wealthiest of wealthy in its former life, it's now a perfect place along your roadtrip to stop for a pint, snuggle up to an open fire and thank your lucky stars that you don't have to hop in your horse-drawn carriage to enjoy the Blue Mountains. And hey, if things at the beer garden get a bit out of hand, they still offer accommodation. Word to the wise: portions are *massive* so what you intend to be a "small nibble" of soup and salad will actually be enough to bathe in and subsequently string together Adam and Eve style.

This Grand old venue was just a quick stop off along a trip to Orange. I just wanted to grab a…read morequick bite and drink but ended up on a self tour of the building. I got lost in history and curiosity as I ventured round trying to find any sort of bistro area. I eventually did ...... it looked like an old 70's type bowling club eatery. It was good enough, just didn't fit the period of the building .... must have been the last renovation .... in the 70's. It had lots of rooms and doors leading to all sorts of nooks. There were a few people around but spread out leaving it without any real atmosphere. I would like to come back one day ..... but may leave it alittle while. Ps. the food was ok ..... a meat pie & midi !
