We really enjoyed our stay at Waratah. The rooms were clean and the meals wonderful. The Bischoff is easy walking around the town and we were lucky enough to spot a platypus or two in the nearby lake. Check out the local waterfall lit up at night. Great location!

A basic Continental breakfast was provided, variety of cereals, full and lite milk, orange juice. Wholemeal and white bread and raisin loaf. A good range of teas and instant coffee provided. The cereal bowls were tiny so restricted amount eaten, fruit or yoghurt not provided. Maybe a good idea to take your own?

Very old bar with hotel above. Old furnishings and very soft bed springs under a soft but new mattress Room just big enough to fit a queen bed: had to move luggage back to the car after unpacking a few things as there was no room for two to move around. Small bathroom at end of hall. It was clean and the owners seem to be working hard to do what they can with this old place, but still it is it is well below today’s hotel standards and it seems a losing battle. To call it a “backpacker hotel” would be generous. Dinner was good and several different good beers on tap in the bar.

We loved the history of the hotel and feeling a part of it. Typical yummy pub food for dinner and lovely continental breakfast. Bonus - beautiful waterfall across the road!
