Plantation Hotel — Restaurant in New South Wales

An absolutely perfect little spot to rest on our road trip. Firstly we arrived early and saw they had $24 roast dinners- now I’m English and this is the one thing I know is a good Sunday roast and wow this place did not disappoint, best roast I’ve had in Aus- loads of meat and roast beef is hit n miss but here it was SO GOOD! Anyway, the accommodation was perfect for the price- SUPER COMFY beds, sink in room which I love, shared bathrooms incredibly clean with shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided, showers super clean n spacious and toilets very clean. The shared kitchen facility is very impressive as I have not seen that in similar hotels, free tea n coffee and clean appliances to use. Random side note- the corridors smell amazing.

I ended up leaving majority of my items on ice in my cooler box because limited fridge space. If you’re sensitive to smells then it’s a definite no as the scent system was way over the top. So strong it’s like it was masking the smell of something cause it was ridiculously strong. The Fans in the rooms do Jack all even with them being on high for over 2 hours while I went and had dinner the room was still sweltering hot and thermometer was scanning room as 37°c, no surprise being up high on the second level of the building, No proper ventilation. |Oh and also if you can’t climb stairs or lift your heavy luggage up 15-20 steps. then don’t book here also as that the only way in and out of the rooms. |Also Parking other than the dark scary back alley way parking with minimal to|No lighting. Out the front on the busy road is parking over night from 6pm - 8am. Otherwise it’s limited 3 hourly parking. ||To me. Definitely was not a Hotel more like a Hostel with individual rooms and shared amenities. Even the old Motel down the...
