Lovely old building, very convenient, not overpriced. Bed was a little soft, but otherwise facilities were excellent. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Hi Shivani,I am terribly sorry to hear this as our rooms undergo a very deep clean after everyone checks out and our linen is cleaned by a commerical laundry service with appropriate cleaning products for the linen. Our cleaners thoroughly inspect and check and clean all rooms on a regular basis and none of our others guests have complained or advised us of any issues. I inspected the room after your check out and could not find anything. Kind Regards

Hi Fiona,Thank you for your review

This was good value for money. Clean and spacious. One of the globes over the mirror needing changing - flashed on and off but in fairness I didn't report it to the Tavern. Bottom sheet was small and not able to be tucked in at the sides, a little troublesome. Was a bit noisy but not excessive - it is a Tavern after all. Would happily stay again. People friendly, dining options very good.

We loved our stay since it was the perfect Australian hotel that we imagined an Australian hotel would be. It was clean, had a great dining room, very helpful staff, and a great bathroom in our queen suite. We will stay there again and will recommend it to all our Californian friends

The property had just been painted on the outside, so there was no name on the front of the building, but it was fine

HI Simon,Yes we are working on new signage since it has been painted. Getting any sort of trades person at the moment seems to be a hard task. Kind Regards,
