Friendly staff; comfortable accommodation; good food & very good prices!
" Old fashioned hospitality"!!
Booked in for one night & stayed 2.
Beautiful views from the front of the hotel.
Nice place about 40 minutes drive from Cradle Mountain. It was great to have the pub/restaurant attached. Aside from the wifi being a bit patchy, the accommodation was great.
This hotel is a well-aged classic. We had a very nice stay. The restaurant and other accommodations were very comfortable

A basic Continental breakfast was provided, variety of cereals, full and lite milk, orange juice. Wholemeal and white bread and raisin loaf. A good range of teas and instant coffee provided. The cereal bowls were tiny so restricted amount eaten, fruit or yoghurt not provided. Maybe a good idea to take your own?
Great staff and a lovely old venue to stay in. Good food options and a very well stocked bar.

Very old bar with hotel above. Old furnishings and very soft bed springs under a soft but new mattress Room just big enough to fit a queen bed: had to move luggage back to the car after unpacking a few things as there was no room for two to move around. Small bathroom at end of hall. It was clean and the owners seem to be working hard to do what they can with this old place, but still it is it is well below today’s hotel standards and it seems a losing battle. To call it a “backpacker hotel” would be generous. Dinner was good and several different good beers on tap in the bar.
We really enjoyed our stay at Waratah. The rooms were clean and the meals wonderful. The Bischoff is easy walking around the town and we were lucky enough to spot a platypus or two in the nearby lake. Check out the local waterfall lit up at night. Great location!
Really really great country pub, the rooms are great the showers are shared but clean has a kitchen area if you wanna do your own thing however the pub meals are very good and cheap
My daughter and I stayed overnight in a twin room and we absolutely loved it! The room was clean, the bedding a towels were clean, the kitchen had everything you needed, the bathrooms were great. We loved the history of the hotel and feeling a part of it. Typical yummy pub food for dinner and lovely continental breakfast. Bonus - beautiful waterfall across the road!
Very very warm and a comfy bed , the evening meal was first class . Off shortly as an early start . Great Staff as well.

This is an old historic building and has been kept in excellent condition. Everything is very clean. The historic photos on display tell many stories of the tough mining times of yesteryear.
