The North Star Inn was a lovely surprise in the picturesque town of Melrose. Everything about the hotel's refurbishment complemented it's setting and country architecture. Great service, good food and various levels of refurbished rooms. We were allocated the "Red Truck"which was a quirky spot to stay. It is one of 2 "trucks", which are units at the back of... More

The Trip Advisor ratings don't really accommodate this hotel because it is good rather than average. The bedrooms have been modernised but still retain some elements which should be tossed (i.e standard lamp) however the bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice indeed. We paid $50 extra for an upstairs room with balcony access but the door... More

I have stayed her several times over a period of several years. I used to love staying here, but the place continues to go down hill. What happened to the great atmosphere and bar staff; the great food (remember the lamb shanks from 2008!); and the tidy rooms? The food, is now mediocre, at best. There is no atmosphere to... More

The Red and Green "truck" accommodation was a delightful surprise. First impressions from the outside were not the best, but inside they are well presented and clean and comfortable. A real talking point in accommodation experiences. Evening meal was excellent with timely and friendly service.

My wife and I spent a night at the North Star recently and had a great night. The food was was excellent and Nadine the publican provided great service and entertainment. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone and will certainly return again at some stage. The accommodation is very quirky and unlike anything we have seen... More

My husband and I had dinner at The North Star Inn last week when travelling through South Australia. The hotel decor was interesting and included a colourful display of artwork. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. The food was delicious, inexpensive and well beyond what we would have expected from a pub in a country town. The service was prompt... More

My son and his patner had their wedding reception in the North Star Hotel. Nadene the manager was also the marriage celebrant. She was great. The reception was fantastic. Entrees of oysters and plates of antipata came first. Mains were a gourmet BBQ meal consisting of chicken shaslicks, steak, gourmet sausages and barramundi accompanied by salalds was more than enough... More

Really enjoyed this classy Country Pub. Nicely appointed rooms, we stayed in Balcony Room 3, great local wines and a better than average Menu. Small staff handled the pressure of a Long Weekend crowd well. Well worth a go.

Was there during a cycling event with my family and sat outside. Ordered a local food platter with several ingretients (really pricy but we liked the idea), and the platter included oysters (frozen) and yabbies. Platter arrived but no one had brought out cutlery, napkins, plates - we had to go in and get them - but when we asked... More

Driving from Sydney to Perth with my partner (we are 26yrs old). We were recommended to stay at Melrose instead of Pt Augusta. great recommendation! Very small little town, with very limited access to basics. However this hotel with its old charm was a great find! We walked upto the War Memorial for an amazing view (30mins walk there &... More
