Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We didn't stay in the hotel, but had lunch after a cave tour. No table service, you need to pick up your meals when your buzzer goes off. Food was absolutely delicious. We both had a Hawaiian Parma and kids had a burger and chips. I'm told the burgers were awesome. Meals were pretty quick to be cooked and presented well. The salad was yummy, not just a few bits of lettuce and a cherry tomato like some pubs. Nice beer garden out back. Would come here again if we weren't from Victoria”
“We come here every year when we take part on cave rescue training at the Wellington Caves. This is what you want in a country town pub, good pub fare, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, nice relaxed venue.”
“Didn’t stay in the hotel, but did drop in for dinner. Had the rissoles and Rump Steak. Both meals were cooked well. Staff at both the Bar and the Bistro were very friendly and attentive. Beers were nice and cold too. Overall the hotel was very clean and would recommend a visit.”
