Wonderful historic building with a wonderful revival story. Highly recommended!
Pros:

Wonderful historic building with a wonderful revival story. We enjoyed the bar, the pool table, the restaurant and the accommodation itself. The room was well insulated sound-wise from the punters downstairs despite being a Saturday night. Its proximity to the majestic balcony was appreciated. The staff on hand were friendly and informative. The Royal is amazing as a base for exploring Lake Tyrrell and then heading out in the morning.

Cons:

Only really minor things. Because we were a 4 person family in a single-room family room and the facilities were communal, getting changed involved some logistics. Also, the floorboards were creaky which was fine during the day, but could wake light sleepers if someone needed the toilet at night.

Most enjoyable place to stay if you are thinking of visiting Sea Lake and Lake Tyrell.
Pros:

The accommodation was very comfortable having the additional bonus of an on-suite. The location is very convenient to everything. The staff were excellent. A problem with the power was identified on the first night and the staff went to the extra mile to get it rectified which was excellent.

Cons:

Nothing really everything worked very well.

a long way to go to see the milky way.
Pros:

no breakfast in our booking. we took our own. there is a full kitchen if you wanted to stay and cook meals. full laundry, sep lounge, bathroom, sep toilet. this booking was a full house away from the hotel grounds. with backyard. the house seems to be fully renovated inside. i would rate the workmanship as very well done. fresh paint new appliances and fittings aug 2026

Cons:

TV was not set up properly and could not watch free to air stations. TV was balanced on a coffee table and easily fell over. toilet seat was loose and slipped sideways during use. an air of isolation for this property was unnerving as well as nowhere to park your nice car in a secure area. wi fi code not readily available or visible anywhere. undoubtedly the best place to stay in town as there is not much quality accommodation available. Tyrells lake and stars very close by but somewhat overated. the photos on the net are no doubt all professional. however we got lucky and saw the cosmos in all its enigmatic wonder first night. if you just want trillions of stars on a clear night, maybe a dark lonely road closer to melbourne is as good whish is the main reason we went there.

It was ok
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Room had no natural light or ventilation, single beds were uncomfortable -mattresses felt old. Main areas upstairs were very draughty with doors open so we didn’t feel comfortable sitting in the sitting areas
