Oriental Hotel Tumut — Restaurant in Tumut

The first things we noticed about our room at the Oriental Hotel were the earplugs on the bath-towels on the bed (where in other hotels you might get a cake of soap). All a bit alarming, and is was very noisy from say 5 to 6pm with lots of logging trucks rumbling past in the street outside. But after that it was quiet - we had no need for the earplugs at all. Overall, we thought the hotel very good, though were disappointed with the wifi reception in our room (it was better in the bar downstairs). We had seen reviews that commented on the excellent wifi that sold us on the place but when we got there it was a different story, with the woman who checked us in saying it could be 'hit and miss'. It was more miss than hit on our visit. On the plus side, the room was relatively spacious for an older style hotel, the bed comfortable and the shared bathrooms spotlessly clean. The tariff was reasonable and, downstairs in the pub, there is an excellent, highly rated restaurant (another reason we stayed here) and a pleasant bar area. The wide balcony outside the room was also excellent, but definitely not between 5 and 6pm for the reasons...

The ORI has been a revelation in my personal life since Monday night this week.

I was seeking out a periodic residential home IN ❤️Tumut over the next 18, 24 or 36 months.

I absolutely adore old distinguished aged hotels all over the world.

As an obsessive and somewhat deranged traveller, I have rarely stayed in one so authentic and so lovingly restored. The ORI has a special reputation in Tumut and across Australia’s High Country, both for its seriously yummy food and for the quality of its staff who engage with youthful energy with the many families and older folk who also love having fun in this pub’s historic walls.

The ORI has truly delivered a dividend in comfort and belonging for my next “Semantic systems just don’t work!” adventure in Banjo’s wild bush horses country.
