Excellent Food and Service, but room terribly noisy

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Feb 2021via mobile
We stayed two nights in the Executive Muse room, and ate twice at the hotel.
Food and service in the restaurant were wonderful, faultless really. The young lady assisting us should be given a raise, she was so friendly and hard working.
The mushroom arrancini balls, seafood curry and marinated prawns were beautifully cooked with subtle flavours, the chef definitely knows what he/she is doing.

I wish we’d loved the room as much. Understanding that this is a hotel, I’d asked for a quiet room, but unfortunately it was probably the noisiest room I’ve stayed in in over 10 years.

I didn’t realise that there is only one of these room types, and it fronted directly onto the main road, so there was constant traffic noise from 6am till 10pm. Then trucks thundering by every few minutes at all hours. My earplugs didn’t quite cut it. The saggy bed and flat pillows didn’t help either. The room aesthetic was I guess colonial, but it was a bit more shabby than chic. Cute on entry, but could definitely do with a bit of $ invested to bring it up to today’s standards. And no wifi was also a bit of a bummer.

It was clean though, and we did enjoy the fireplace, complimentary port (yummy) and continental breakfast.

Would definitely recommend the hotel, just not the Executive room.

        Meals were fantastic and large serves. Reasonable wait from order time to receiving food but this was well worth the wait.
        2 Coeliacs with us. Huge selection for them, dedicated fryer, freshly crumbed GF schnitzels.

        Everything you would expect from a country hotel. I got the steak which just fell apart and the mash was amazing. My partner had the salmon and thought it was great. The service was great as well and the owners came over for a chat.

        Dropped in on Sunday night after booking one hour before on the way back from the Flinders Ranges. The food was beautiful - way better than we expected in a pub. It's not pub food - it's restaurant food! And the staff are super friendly - really good old fashioned country hospitality.

        We enjoyed three plates from the entree menu as shared lunch for two. Serving sizes were generous, food was super tasty and you could tell a lot of love had gone into the preparation and flavours. A real find for GF diners as 90% of the menu was catered for this dietary intolerance, thanks Rising Sun! Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely stop in for a feed.

        Had our last eating out pre Covid lunch here before lockdown the next day and it was sensational, just look at the photo..... and it tasted as good as it looked! Didn’t break the bank either. The lovely Ali also let us recharge our bike batteries so we could get back to Clare.
