Well, this place certainly looked pretty new. In fact, it was a rather nice pub, and rather quiet…read moreas well, though I suspect that it is basically located in a retirement village. Yeah, the service wasn't too bad, though coming here during the day is probably one of the reasons why it was quiet, as a pub it wasn't really too bad. Then again, the beer selection was rather limited, but that is sort of to be expected in country towns.

Ok, I'm biased but this hotel is pretty goddamn amazing…read more Rooms - large, airy and historic. I don't think they're accessible to folks with disabilities though. Very clean, very comfy. Food - we ate dinner and breakfast here. Both were honestly really good - pub classic food done well. There were some ill behaved kids screaming like banshees but not the hotel's fault. Staff - uniformly pleasant! Other customers - really friendly! Entertainment - so like most hotels/pubs, expect a small gaming room. This one had maybe 12-15 machines. I won a bit, I lost a bit and then the gaming gods smiled upon me with a major $2400 bonus. $$$$$$ - five stars!

This pub is by far my favourite pub in Mount Gambeir, and that was pretty evident when I walked in…read morethrough the door, went up to the bar and discovered a great selection of beers on tap. In fact, I ended up making my way back here a couple of times, namely to get my daily fix of good craft beers, of which they had plenty. The atmosphere is also pretty good, and they seem to have put of lot of effort into making this pub a great place for the young, and young at heart. Oh, and the service was also really friendly and warm as well. This is certainly one of those pubs that I would frequent regularly if I happen to be down in the area.

So we used Yelp to find 'nearby' cafes, as we were starving ... and came upon The Whistling Cat - great name, which is a good start! This place is MASSIVE!! It is decorated like an antique store, and has the potential to be fantastic. The menu is pretty basic, mainly paninis and doorstops - I had a chicken panini, which was served with a lot of salad - good value, but not exactly a taste sensation. While not completely blown away, our lunch was nice ... standard cafe fare. Would be greatly improved by playing some jazz music in the background instead of a generic mainstream radio station - while this place has potential, it kinda misses the mark.

Honestly, after seeing a cave the previous day that was nothing short of mind blowing, when we came down here it was, well, somewhat less impressive. Look, that doesn't necessarily mean that these caves were particularly bad - they were not - it was just that, well, there were much better examples of caves elsewhere, and not as far out as well. Yeah, it can be pretty difficult actually getting to these caves, though of course the signage is still pretty good.

My brother thought it would be a good idea to take us to PMR Cave so we all ventured out to it. Its a nice little drive coming from Portland but it was fun and worth it. They offer tours of the cave several times a day at different times. I would suggest you be sure to find the times online and show up then. We randomly showed up and just so happened to get there as they were rallying everyone up for a tour. The cost was about $20 AUS and the tour was a whooping 25 minutes. There is 67 stairs you must truck down and up to see the cave. Again, it was cool as you don't get the chance to tour something of this nature every day. The story on how it was founded is really interesting. If you are in the area and are seeking something to do I'd say give it a shot. Parking is free and they even offer trails that have nice views at the park.

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!

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.
