Friendly staff, the manager knew my name. The entire check-in was miraculously easy - Are  you so&so? - Yes  I am. - Welcome, here is you key, room # is to the right.  That was it. Big smile from the manager lady and cannot-be-simpler blasting speed check-in  bit any 4- & 5-star hotel I have been to. In other words, easy going relatable approach goes a long way. the hotel room was neet and appeared nicely renovated.  All rooms are at the upper level of a big estate, which is a big dinning venue downstairs. 
The hotel itself is part of a vibrant local community with shops and cafes around. No noise issues in the room.  2 free vouchers for drinks at the sport bar downstairs. Nice collection of teas in the room.  The room with a porch/balcony, coffee table outside and  with the views on a bay. Well done,  Huskisson Hotel, keep it up!
