“There's a genuine country pub feel to this heritage-listed hotel, a place where you can settle in after a day exploring the Clarence River. I like that it's a spot frequented by locals, suggesting a comfortable, unstrained atmosphere; plus, the shared kitchen creates a more interactive experience for guests. It strikes me as a no-frills option for those prioritising value and a touch of community.”
