Love the pub & food was great. Rooms are nice for the price too, but the rooms could use some new pillows as ours were very old & had to fold them in half. Overall it was a good stay ☺️

The home of Red Dog. As we are travelling with a dog, we were made to feel very welcome. The pub is lively and great food. The rooms are a bit 1960's, but clean, safe and friendly staff.

Booked a buget room ($140) for a 1 night stay. Opened the door and was met with the stench of sewerage and room was full of flys. Bathroom was dirty and didn't want to touch the bed. If I could upload photos, I would. We decided to upgrade to a better room and they charged us another $60 on top of what we had already paid. The sea view room was at least cleaner but still not worth the $200 price tag. The whole property needs a massive overhall. The food was very good but hugely overpriced as they seem to cater for FIFO. When the mining companies are paying, the price is ridiculous. This included alcohol bar prices as well. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen previous reviews for this property. I definitely would not have booked it if I had
