Do yourself a favour - stay here

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Sept 2023via mobile
We stayed here overnight including drinks and dinner at the restaurant. Fast easy check-in, comfortable room and ample parking, good prices for drinks and dinner was excellent.

Part of the joy of staying at a place like this is meeting the locals - thanks Ben for the trout, loved talking to you Toni and Phil.

And staff behind the bar and in the restaurant - thanks Nicki and Deirdre.

Highly recommend

    I have never experienced such an aggressively rude bar attendant as we did with Danni tonight. We dont care how many hours you have worked ( you told us if we worked as many hours as you we would be stressed too ) clearly you need to work less or not at all to give good service. All we wanted was a bundy with coke that isn't flat, not much to ask.
    So rude and not the type of service I expect anywhere especially at the Great Lake.

    Room tip: Dont go when Danni is working

    We were informed a few days before arriving that the restaurant will be closed on the day we were there and was told of other places we could eat which was nice to be informed.
    When arriving the whole Hotel was closed so checking was difficult, finally checked in after paying twice as they didn't have a record of our payment.
    Our room was very nice and new but very cold as only had a small fan heater.
    Our room also had no water, after 1.5hrs of waiting with no commutation from management, when it would be fixed we left. It look like we were the only people there.
    Probably wouldn't recommend it in winter. Very disappointing

    We loved the facilities, but mainly the food, all the plates we tasted were fantastic: wallaby, the soup, the nachos... everything.
    It was a good surprise as we were looking for a place to eat something quickly and we discovered an amazing place.

    We didn't stay here but we did stop for some food and coffee.

    This was a mid morning stop after driving from Hobart to check out the Great Lakes, enroute to Strahan.   The old style pub had a fantastic wood fire going so we sat down and enjoyed a hot coffee ☕️  and a bite to eat for a break.

    The staff are friendly and very welcoming. It's a beautiful pub and a great place to put up your feet for a welcome break.

    Average food and a long wait…
    We arrived and looked at the menu. Prices are expensive but I had expected to pay a premium for the “remoteness” (although nowhere is far in Tasmania). A large group was present but we were advised that they had all eaten. So we ordered. And then waited. And waited. Checked with the waiter a few times as we noticed orders coming out from people that had ordered after us. Was then told it was due to the large group (who had all clearly long finished their meals). My lamb was fatty, a small portion for the 20+ pricetag and average. The sauce on the plate had obviously been added hours earlier and formed a crust. My daughters burger was ok, but the onion rings she had been looking forward to were scarce. There were two on her plate. When we went to pay - the staff disappeared! Two staff behind the bar muddled about cleaning glasses, while the one at the register put her head down with paperwork. Eventually we were served. Won’t be back. It’s a pity as the location is lovely. The food and service were far below average.

    Room tip: Try down the road? Or keep going to Bothwell or Deloraine
