Period hotel and the starting point for the platypus walk
Pros:

The staff were super nice and helpful with advice. Its a period hotel with charm and character. Offstreet parking. Nothing too fancy but quite pleasant and the cafe was lovely and the best part was the platypus walk (yes we saw one)

An unique experience.
Pros:

Town center location, bar/restaurant is downstairs. The place is like a living museum piece, giving guests a taste of what a country hotel looks and feels like. For that experience, I am happy to let go some of the "creature comforts .” Some of the basic appliances like kettle, microwave oven can be found in the common area.

Cons:

Squeaky doors and floor.
