Not bad for a 3-star hotel.

  • A surprising little gem!! On a whim we decided to stay the night in Braidwood. There wasn't much choice as most of the accommodation was booked out. Do not be put off by staying in a pub, it's very clean and has obviously had refurbishment to the rooms and bathrooms. Very tastefully done. I was very impressed.

  • Great rooms , recently renovated. The shared bathrooms were very well done with the best showers I've experienced in a pub stay or most motels.

  • The shared bathrooms are ladies/gents and have separate shower/toilets within them, all clean with fresh decor. The dining was excellent and very good value, and quick.

  • Lovely town, excellent welcoming staff. The room was much nicer than expected as the price was so good, with excellent shared bathroom facilities. Food was delicious, there does seem to be a mad rush when the kitchen opens for dinner so I had a drink while the rush ended with all the families.

  • The one thing that is an unexpected standout, are the bathrooms. They have amazing facilities for a pub and the showers are quite brilliant. The staff are warm and friendly, and make an evening there a great experience.

  • Two of us came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. Starting off with a game of pool, we then dined in. The food was absolutely delicious and very sizeable. Thank you for the great food, I will definitely be visiting here again and I recommend everyone try it out.

    Emily M.

  • Very pleasant experience and excellent food. Delightful high ceilings with easily accessible power points. Made my way down one flight of stairs and ordered a meal at the very busy bar. All clients were respectful of everyone else and the manager there seemed to have everything under her control. Was offered to eat in the dining room where a beautiful fire was lit.

We definitely recommend pre-booking your stay with us. Braidwood is about an hour from Canberra, Goulburn and Bateman’s Bay. This means it’s a popular rest stop and overnight stay for many travellers passing through. There isn’t much accommodation in town, and we’re usually booked out most nights!
