The Commercial Boutique Hotel

Bad bed! Mattress was awful - I think it was like a memory foam but very uncomfortable and felt like rolling into the middle all night.

Cute but noisy. Booked the downstairs room (only pet friendly room) nice and spacious, however the guests in the room upstairs could be heard with every footstep thru the entire night. We gave up at 3am and reluctantly started our day. The bed was also super soft with no support. Bodies were in a “V” shape due to sinking into mattress. Staff are really nice. Bar had a great selection of drinks. Clientele only appeared to be Tea & Scone people.

Booked 2 nights in Room 7 which faces away from the main street for $250/night. The hotel is right in town with a carpark behind. Friendly checkin. Nice art deco throughout. The room is located on the 1st floor. There is no lift, & no offer of help with luggage. Our room was quite spacious with a separate alcove for the bed, which is very comfortable & a separate seating area with 2 easy chairs & tv. There's a courtesy tray for tea & coffee & the best biscuits (other than the home made ones we occasionally get) we have ever had. The fridge is quiet (only milk in it.) The ensuite is small but has a good shower in a stall where the water doesn't leak out & nice toilettries in plunger bottles. The windows which look toward the mountain & overlook the carpark aren't openable, so you need to use the air con. In any case, it is quiet & works well. Wifi is fast & can be relied upon. We ate in the restaurant both nights & thought the food very good-duck breast & beef cheeks the 1st night & we each had Salmon the 2nd night. There's a nice choice of wines & its good to see some local choices. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & the staff very professional & pleasant. It was busy on the Tuesday & Wednesday night we were there. Our room was very quiet & comfortable & we slept well. The room was serviced, & used items replaced. Always appreciated. I chose the hotel to celebrate a special occasion, & overall, I am pleased I did so. The only additional thing I'd like to see is a coffee pod machine in the room. This is due to the room rate.

Wish I'd read some of these reviews before dining. And yes, its as bad as everyone says. For $37 i got a plate with a small reheated chicken leg with a wedge of onion, one baby carrot and a heaped teaspoon of watery potato mash. Nothing was cooked properly, my tummy gurgled for hours afterwards

A well situated hotel with an excellent restaurant

boutique feel, nice food
