The freshness of the accomodation was very welcome. The internet access was an unexpected bonus and enabled me to download a new book on my Kindle.
Overall a very pleasant experience.

The Guest House in Chillagoe is a very good place to stay. It's easy to find, has a nice owner, lovely decor which matches its historic past and comfortable, clean rooms and beds. Even though our Family Flat was spacious, the owner offered us another room for free for one of our couples, and he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Chillagoe has quite a few things to see and we found our 2 day stay there very interesting with caves, a mine, a waterhole, friendly locals and nice warm weather.

Firstly just stay at the guest house...best value for money around and right in town.
Make sure you visit the caves and also the smelters. The place has a great country feel and the pubs are safe for the family to have a meal...unlike Cairns!! Chillagoe has a river all year round and it was nice to just sit there and watch the wild life and there is alot of wild life. The guest house was perfect for us with the family. It looked freshly renovated and well maintained. We had birds..wallibys, kangaroos just off the door step first thing in the morning and breakfast is included!! If you haven't been there or went there years ago... GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND GO it's really is an OZY town!!!

The Post Office Guest House was welcoming, very clean and well organised. It was located in a central position across the road from the local tourism office. The locals were very friendly. We enjoyed our stay immensely and didn't want to leave!
