Pros:

Sehr authentisch! Die Gastgeber waren nett und wir haben sogar noch ein Abendessen erhalten, obwohl Küche geschlossen war 😊. Das Dinner war jedesmal sehr lecker und große Portionen.

horrible experience
Pros:

The town was nice and the lobby is inviting

Cons:

The walls are paper thin and you can hear every single cough that everyone makes in all of the other rooms. The bar blasts music until midnight for only three old men drinking beer, even though you paid a lot of money for basically a low-end dorm room that doesn't even have a table and they wouldn't lower the extremely loud music for their own paying hotel guests.

Übernachtung im Outback mit minimalster Ausstattung
Pros:

Lage im Outback ist faszinierend, Personal ist nett, Schwimmen im Fluss nebenan.

Cons:

Das Appartment war so leer (ohne Ausstattung) - ein Kühlschrank war da, 2 Betten auch ... aber sonst 1 Stern-Unterkunft - oder eben Outback.

Clean, tidy rooms. Friendly helpful staff
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable. Easy walking distance to little Main Street and the Eco Lodge Observatory. The owner was extremely kind and helpful when our booking hadn’t gone though correctly by Booking.com to the property.

Not worth the money paid
Pros:

Not much , it was in a quiet location. A very basic room with a hot shower.

Cons:

I checked in and a sign outside stated bistro hours . We went to get dinner and a sign was outside stating kitchen was closed. Not happy, walked to the other pub in town and they were doing a roaring trade.
Also noisy inconsiderate people allowing their kids to slam doors and run around all hours of the night. The adults were on the veranda talking very loudly.
I eventually got out of bed and asked them to have consideration for other guests. It was after 9pm .

It would’ve been even better
if the Wi-Fi had been available 24/7.

Pros:

Room was fairly basic but was clean and comfortable. And it stayed cool through the day without needing to use the aircon. Evening meals in the pub section were excellent. Owners friendly and helpful. Great place to stay for a couple of days.
