Right on a main road, big trucks passing all hours. Opposite train tracks with long trains passing by at all hours through night too. Room not that clean with cobwebs around walls and ceiling, killed a large black spider. Old and tired accommodation, over priced!

This was our second stay here and we like it so much we will be staying again in June.
It’s a great place to stay to break up the trip from SA to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry.
