It may be in the middle of nowhere, but it's a bloody good pub!…read more Radio Springs is the most fantastic and weird mix of a tiny little local, constantly buzzing with the inhabitants of Lyonville, and quite a fancy restaurant, offering some pretty delicious (though not super cheap) dinner options. I had the steak with garlic sauce which was pretty damn drool worthy. The chips & vegies on the side were great too. Radio Springs is a little bit like visiting someone's house- you can sit on the open verandah area and have a beer if the weather is nice, feast on dinner around the fireplace with a live band in the background if that's what suits, or head around to the red room at the back, where you'll feel transported to a different era in the rather elegant and dimly lit dining room. This one is worth a visit for the overall experience. Don't expect a regular restaurant as this place is in a world of it's own, but I'm not complaining!

The music is ragtime and 1940s things and the bartender is nowhere to be seen. It's only when the song had finished and one of hem stands up and walks round the other side of the counter that it sinks in. This is pub full if the most intimate of locals, locals from all around. There are actual hotel facilities (unlike several places in Melbourne called a Hotel, which are in fact only a pub). From what I heard they're reasonable rooms and in nice surroundings when the sun's up.

The only reason I am giving this hotel 2 stars is the location, free breakfast and the fact it's…read moreclean. We booked a double room and ended up in a double bed with a bunk bed above it. Due to online booking seemingly not being aligned with the hotel availability we had to move rooms on our last night and as a couple ended up in a room with 2 bunkbeds no window and no aircon when it was 35 degrees. The hallway smelt terrible, the toilets were quite a walk away from the rooms we were in. No lift so you have to lug your suitcases up 4 sets of stairs. This is a glorified hostel with hotel prices.

I'd highly recommend reading the terms and conditions very carefully before booking this property. I would also suggest booking this property through a third party provider rather than directly so that you have access to their dispute resolution system.
