A good overnight stay
Pros:

The owners were most welcoming & Bernadette made a real effort to make a special meal for me as the the menu for the evening did not have any non meat options.
My motorbike was safely stored in a dry storage building 😊

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The owners / family made us very welcome and were honest in the fact that the hotel was still a time capsule of the past, with much more work to do.

Was like meeting old friends in comfort and sit down for superb dinner!
Pros:

We were welcomed with typical rural SA warmth! It was no hassle to check in. The bar/ dining room is where travelers get together and we chat- informal, sharing best experiences. Food is served onsite - which is super comfortable and both dinner and breakfast was delicious. It was a wonderful stay!

A repeat stay in a hotel that advertises a 'work in progress', adequate and as expected.
Pros:

Location along main road is good for a traveller. Dinner main course was good and breakfast adequate. Reception very welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

Our room was unheated and there was a problem with water supply initially, though soon fixed. Very basic and somewhat cramped room.
