Top hotels in Belleknowes
Scenic Hotel Southern Cross
Comfy beds, friendly staff. Purely personal downside was the bath/shower - the knees didn't like having to try and step in and out so much. Older hotel but still clean and comfortable. Parking can be confusing, but the staff were helpful and we got in and out 😊
