However, it was a little annoying that it happened to be closed early and the only other place to visit happened to be one of those smokers cages. In fact, it turned out that the nice bar also closed early, leaving us stuck in the pokies room. The bistro looks other, but it really isn't all that outstanding, and the service wasn't all that bad either. However, the beer selection did happen to be somewhat limited.

For some reason this place just comes up as "commodore motel" on Yelp, but it's actually known as…read moreCommodore on The Park. There's a massive footy oval (park) across the road but no it's not a car museum or shrine! It is a clean motel with spacious rooms and recently updated bathrooms. It's a bit noisy some nights if you are staying in rooms close to the Penola Road roundabout, due to the regular flow of timber mill and freight trucks. Request a room further away from the roundabout if you are a light sleeper! There is a small indoor pool and playground facilities, as well as a small alfresco pergola type area where you can enjoy the evening sun. The only thing I find problematic with COTP are the showers - the shower heads are a bit dodgy, and the shower cubicle is positioned such that if you are in there the bathroom sensor light turns off so you are left in the dark unless you step out of the shower to be in range of the sensor. Extremely frustrating when you are in the midst of washing your hair or shaving! The restaurant is nice but expensive - if you are on budget a variety of cafes, Subway and other fast food is a short stroll away.

The pub is quite large and has a really cool bar out the back with a great range of beers.

Located about a 5-10-minute walk to the centre of town, this is a heritage property that has been renovated and furnished to a high standard. The common areas are beautiful - gorgeous dining room and full size billiards room! The high quality linens, fluffy towels and bathrobes, beautiful mini bar and glassware are thoughtful touches that make this a luxe stay. We stayed in the Hay Suite which had a bedroom with a large flat screen TV and a small lounge with a gas fireplace. These were connected by a spacious well-equipped bathroom. The space didn't work that well for us because we are on a long road trip with lot of luggage, but this is a lovely option for a weekend treat!

It's simple and very casual and the portions are large but unfortunately average. We enjoyed our filet mignon's but I wasn't crazy about the sauce they put on top.

Then again, it isn't uncommon to find pubs also offering rooms to stay in. There are two types of rooms, the pub rooms and the motel rooms, and the pub rooms basically have a shared bathroom. It actually isn't a bad place to stay at, especially with their dinner specials, and the free breakfast packs. I guess the only quip I actually had with the place was that they didn't really have a great selection of tap beers.
