Second stay here. Accomodation is upstairs not possible for some with movement limitations. Restaurant and cocktail bar are both good quality and reasonable value
Lovely old building, very convenient, not overpriced. Bed was a little soft, but otherwise facilities were excellent. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
Motel is on the main road but our room did not hear the road noise, however the refrigeration and central air conditioning motors provided a constant hum. Room was a queen with 2 seater couch, tv and bathroom. Our 4WD could not fit in the underground Carpark so we parked adjacent in the street, no problem. Rooms on 2nd floor but no elevator and the stairs are narrow. Nice place to stay. Meal in the restaurant was also very nice.
Great to sign in after hours Everyone else in town had closed their desks

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was good value for money. Clean and spacious. One of the globes over the mirror needing changing - flashed on and off but in fairness I didn't report it to the Tavern. Bottom sheet was small and not able to be tucked in at the sides, a little troublesome. Was a bit noisy but not excessive - it is a Tavern after all. Would happily stay again. People friendly, dining options very good.
We had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant. Our room was clean and spacious. Check in at the pokies bar was a bit unusual and there was no obvious signage on the exterior of the building to indicate it was the Mitchell River Tavern. Also, the lack of a lift to our room upstairs was an inconvenience for bringing in luggage.
We loved our stay since it was the perfect Australian hotel that we imagined an Australian hotel would be. It was clean, had a great dining room, very helpful staff, and a great bathroom in our queen suite. We will stay there again and will recommend it to all our Californian friends
