We approached this motel directly and found the price very reasonable $120 pr. night. Staff were excellent. They allowed us a late check out at no extra charge. The pool was nice and clean - we were very happy

Approximate cost: $120

We went to this very friendly restaurant for my son's 40th birthday. I had told the proprietor before hand that it was a special birthday booking and on the table was a 40th helium balloon for him. The food is excellent and plentiful. We would thoroughly recommend and wish the reasonably new owner all the best for her future in this restaurant.

I always go this store to get my helium balloons. The balloons range from 80c to more expensive. The charge to have them gas filled and tied with ribbon is $1 each balloon. Excellent value

Even though this cafe was busy, the food was disappointing. I had chicken in pastry. The chicken was one piece of fillet which was extremely dry and over cooked.

wonderful, great clean room at a reasonable price. Highlight was coming out each morning, to find that our windscreen had been cleaned by the proprietor. Very friendly staff. We ordered off the in house dinner menu and had the best dinner meal of sausages, mash and veges for only $12 each. You can order dinner up until 9 pm.

Approximate cost: $125 room

Beautiful beach front views. Good selection of food. We missed out on breakfast as it finished 11.30 - would like it to finish later. Open 7 days per week. It is a good idea to park on Nepean Highway as you have to pay for foreshore parking unless you have a parking permit. Service was excellent

Approximate cost: $25

We spent a pleasant afternoon on the deck overlooking the lake with ducks, sipping a glass of red and sharing a platter of dips including caramelised onions and bread. The dips were very tasty and the 1 platter was enough for 2 people. The cutlery is light timber. The shop has a vast amount of goodies, including foods, alcohol, non alcohol and gift items. There are samples of the dips to try and also a tasting of the drinks that are available.

Natalie attended to me, I had a trim, regrowth and 2 colours of foils at the front. She is a very friendly girl who listens and also gives good advice. There is a 2 hour park opposite the salon

My friend and I were lucky enough to visit this hotel where the publicans have just recently taken over the hotel. We enjoyed a wonderful meal which was very reasonable and enjoyed their friendly hospitality. They are in the process of updating the accommodation and we look forward to visiting again when it is completed. I am quite sure that it will prove to be the best hotel for meals and accommodation in Quorn

Approximate cost: $15

We stayed in a standard room, which was cheap but very dated and needed a good clean. The kitchen area where we were able to help ourselves to continental breakfast was quite dirty and messy. The dining room had not been cleared from the night before so still had all the dirty crockery, serviettes etc on top of the tables. All in all this hotel is in need of a good clean up. I must admit though it was cheap - $90 for one night

Approximate cost: $90
