What a find in regional South Australia. a tastefully furbished very well appointed place to stay in an area where my expectations were not high. Rooms are large, beds comfortable, everything was clean and in working order. The restaurant serves good food (portions on the large side!) and staff are attentive, friendly and competent. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Port Pirie.

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.
