A nice quick stopover as I was travelling. Friendly country service. Just got the billing situation muddled up but we resolved.
I hope the flooding doesn’t impact the hotel.
The hotel felt right as soon as I walked in. Lovely old pub, with stylish decor. Comfortable bed and an old world feel to the room. Tea & coffee etc and fridge in the room was a plus. One suggestion would be a table on the common area with a toaster and microwave would be beneficial.

The room has three windows but only 1 blind, others without curtains so when people walking around the balcony can see everything through and there were lots of insects in inside the bed because the motel is next to the river, but the stuff was friendly gave us an insect spray, by the way, no Aircon only fan for hot summer.
We thoroughly enjoyed the serene atmosphere in and around Ulmarra, complemented by the warm hospitality of both the hotel staff and the local community. The hotel room and bathrooms were impeccably clean, and I had a great time savouring a beer with pizza at the bar while watching our favourite game, cricket.
Not for older people. Room was Tiny - no hanging space. 26 steep staircase.with no offer of assistance for 89 and 92 year olds. Poorly maintained. Should not be included in Expedia advertising for older staff. Reception staff not available for check out. Tariif far too expensive for what was offered. I will hesitate before using Expedia again.
Evening meal expensive.
Beautiful location retaining that old Country pub vibe.

Nice historical property. Separate common bathrooms is a bit inconvenient but not a deal breaker.
Continental breakfast is advertised but not really there.. some disappointment.
A beautiful hotel on the river offering DELICIOUS pub meals. The view was absolutely beautiful from our river front dining.
Though the room was just that, small and a single room, it was perfect for our stop over.
The bathrooms.... Now I expected small, dirty, dingey, water barely dripping shared bathrooms, but boy was I wrong! They were sparkling clean, the water pressure was PERFECT, just like a rain shower and the stalls were decently sized with plenty of room to get changed in a dry space afterwards.
Can definitely say that if we are doing another trip, this will be on the list again!

Tiny, noisy, overpriced but venue is well located.
Room 5 was tiny, not even a sidetable or room for a suitcase. No aurcon and surrounded by corridors. Noisy thru thin walls, the sounds of the pub till 9.30pm and a chiller init running all night. If it were half price it'd be ok, but for $129 a night youll be quieter and have more space sleeping in your car and thats sad. Not returning.
We booked this accommodation after reading the positive Wotif reviews and the $99 cost an incentive to stay at a Historic Hotel.
We are familiar with”Pubs with no frills and Share Facilities”and have enjoyed staying at other pubs - this time unfortunately we did not sleep with the inner hotel noises and the Verandah noise outside our room.
The Bathroom fittings are old and inconvenient to use - the bathrooms were clean.
The bedroom had a ceiling fan- ineffective on the hot night and no Air Conditioning/ no through air flow. No Washbasin/ no cupboard/ no hooks for clothing/ no chair/ no table and very small for a Queen Room.
The bed / mattress/ bed linen was comfortable and in good condition but as the room was so hot we could not appreciate this.
We enjoyed our dinner with excellent food at the onsite Restaurant and the beautiful evening views across the Clarence River.
Crocodile Dundee at your viewing. The same bats from the movie are at the park, walking distance. HARMLESS BUT EXACT TO THE MOVIE. What a wonderful jewel, everything was 5 star. The food, atmosphere, STAFF, peace or relaxation. I love this place

Staff were very helpful sending photos of the access stairs and key keeping boxes. Even sent a text message saying the storm had caused power outage, which was resolved before we arrived.
Beds and linen were clean n comfy . Hotel was nice and quiet. Breakfast was disappointing, no mugs to drink tea, no spoons to eat cereal, I’d hardly call that continental breakfast. Showers were a great temperature, nice and clean, generous size, with lashings of hot water.
The situation was lovely near the river
Small room with not much to it. Shared bathroom facilities so beware of that if you’re against that sort of thing. Place was very clean and tidy however and has a great view over the nearby lake.
