It is good to see they now have microwaves in the room it would also be nice to see some cutlery and plates to utilise the toaster and microwave. Other than that, the rooms are clean and comfortable. I did not utilise the restaurant so I can't comment on that. The hot water could have been hotter, not sure how that is set up maybe I was at the end of the line.

The owner very unhelpful!!! We were supposed to stay on Sunday night, we were in Gunnedah on Saturday. Roads closed to Armidale due to snow; roads shut to Tamworth due to flooding; we physically could not get to Tenterfield. We left and headed to Moree before roads were shut to flooding. When we had to cancel the owner informed us, we were inside our 24-cancellation period and tough luck and kept our money!
