Great location! Beautifully set out and very luxurious. Much more upmarket then other motels/hotels. Great looking little restaurant that smelt amazing as we walked through. The host was very nice and gave us a great recommendation for morning tea. Thankyou so much for our comfortable stay!

A welcome respite on a long road trip

Bathrobes. And good ones on a regional run what a treat. I left Ellen Hotel feeling rested. Modern rooms, improved air conditioning since the last time I stayed. Dark and quiet for a good night sleep. Service friendly, the lady who served served me at breakfast made me want to linger alas I had to move on for work.

Ellen Hotel is a superb small elegant hotel and it exceeded our expectations. We loved everything about it. The room was wonderful, the restaurant small but elegant and food and presentation first class. Parking was easy. This hotel certainly deserves 5 star.
