The accommodation was good but would not recommend staying on a Saturday night the live band was very noisy and when it ended at about 10.30pm the guests were even noisier. Apart from that it was a nice place to stay.

As long as you sleep after 10pm , it should be very good place to stay. If you want to enjoy live music it is even good. It only a little not good for people who want to go to bed earlier.

Comfortable beds, great shower and super clean. Great pub and beer garden adjacent to the accommodation serving good food which was welcome on our road trip up to Brisbane. Tea Gardens is just 10 mins off the highway and the sunrise over the water was stunning
