Lovely hotel in beautiful location with bar and food options right on the premises. Rooms were large and nicely decorated; Bed comfortable. The only downside was the noise at 7.30am on Sunday from the clean up crew/bottles and rubbish compacting. Apart from that, great. I'd stay there again.

Hidden Gem

We were greeted by Chelsea and JB who were a wonderful introduction to this hidden gem. In fact the staff overall were wonderful but Chelsea and JB were there to help us everytime we needed something. The hotel itself is wonderfully set out and the rooms had everything needed. There were 3 weddings on during our stay and when we retired to the room you would never had known an event was even taking place. Which gave us a great night's sleep. The location is wonderful, surrounded by beautiful scenery in every direction. The ferry arrives and departs 1 minutes walk from the hotel which will take you into the heart of the city. We loved this place and on our 3 weeks travelling around NSW and Canberra this was our favourite place. From management to breakfast staff everyone was polite and helpful. The hotel and location were spot on. We will definately be back.

Enjoyable stay

We stayed 3 nights at WBH to attend a nearby wedding and were pleasantly surprised by the level of friendly service and the well-designed rooms. The location has a good blend of being reasonably close to things but also a relaxed area to do some walks and enjoy some good scenery. Would gladly stay again.
