Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff member who assisted me had good local knowledge and even contacted the business I wanted to visit to check road conditions and confirm it was open on the public holiday.

We were wanting to visit some of the waterfalls in the area so dropped into the Southern Highland Welcome Centre to pick up some information.
The centre has a lovely display of local wines and arts and crafts.
The lady helped me and I was soon on my way with maps and relevant information brochures.

Have had several visits to this tourist information centre when visiting the southern highlands. Again most impressed recently when seeking information on walks in the area. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Also provided great maps and directions. A very clean facility. Has a gift shop with items from local artisans and wineries. Spring flowers in full bloom are worth stopping to enjoy at this time of year. Plenty of parking and conveniently located beside main road into town.
