I was travelling the Mawson Trail by bike. The room was clean, there is a shared kitchen area for the four rooms in the hotel. The balcony view of Mount Remarkable and the main street was fantastic. Food at both pubs in town was great. There is a brewery around the corner. I would stay here again.

Truck was a glorious surprise - much bigger than it appeared from outside. Far enough away from pub to feel private. Staff were friendly and food at the inn was glorious with lovely Australian flavours. Restful and pleasant getaway, even though the township was very busy that weekend.

Got put into a dirty room that wasn't cleaned. Pointed it out and got moved into a cleaned room. Heater didn't work properly. Black mould in the bathroom above the shower. Expected more for $150 a night. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place.

Staying in the old trucks is a unique experience. Very easy being just behind the hotel. The bedding needs to be updated and some maintenance - bathroom heating not working Still a nice place to spend a weekend

The North Star Inn is a lovely place to stay. This was our second stay in this same room. Melrose is conveniently positioned to break up the drive from Port Lincoln to Adelaide. The room with ensuite bathroom is spacious, clean and well appointed. The location in Melrose is ideal with easy access to the North Star Inn (obviously) and other venues in the area. We recommend this accommodation.
