A comfortable room in the mountains
Pros:

Friendly welcoming host. We did not eat at hotel. Bar has outdoor seating / garden which is good in Summer. Comfortable room, good shower. Can get good coffee / drinks in village as bars take it in turns to be open during the Summer. Selection of short to medium length walks around the area.

Cons:

Be aware if its hot summer weather that there is no aircon, can only open a window at night as mossies will enter if door is open. Note that there was no breakfast option in the summer but can get food at other establishments.

Dinner Plains, Hotel High Plains experience
Pros:

The room was spacious, and accommodating. With clean sheets towels/toiletries and coffee, tea, sugar and uht milk.

Cons:

However there was no one at a reception to collect the key or to do a confirmation off our booking. The room was reasonably clean the bathroom shower could have been a bit more desirable and the comfort of the bed was like sleeping on a hard floor. In the morning there was no one to collect key so left in bedroom.

If you like 80s music blaring half the night you'll love your stay..
Pros:

Good location. Good bar. Rooms were neat.

Cons:

Leftover food in microwave. Dirty cups. Hard bed.
It would have been courteous for the hotel to warn us before booking that they were hosting a party for staff and locals and that we would hear it all from our rooms. Music blaring. Finally stopped at 2.30am. People fighting. People running up and down the halls. Not quite what we were looking for in a night out in Dinner Plain.

Pros:

Bed was roomy & very comfortable

Cons:

The room could only be described as "Daggy "
The shower was not clean .
Soap scum on tiles & glass.
Mould on grout . .
Damaged paint work & large scratches on all the walls, especially above the bed .
The room was very bare & it was as if it hadn't been used for a long time
The heater was unable to be turned off as the control knob did nothing so it became excessively warm & we were forced to open a window even though it was -2°c outside.
We paid for a room that was described as being a lot better than it actually was.
Apparently, according to the details that are listed on your site , we were supposed to have a mountain view , which we did not even though we were on the first floor & more importantly, there was supposed to be a Mini Bar but there was nothing !
As it was xmas day , there was nowhere for us to buy any type of drinks , alcoholic or otherwise.
We expected a mini bar because your info said there was one in the room so we didn't take any drinks with us
I mean , it's not like it was listed as a
"Budget Room " & it wasn't exactly cheap either.
All in all, it was very disappointing & we would never stay there again.

Very quiet location, staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.

Bathroom was a little bit small and the pub food was slightly expensive at $32 for a Parma and chips, but it was good food!
