"This was a gorgeous hotel, with old world charm. The owner was lovely, the place was well cared for, with an attention to detail.
I would definitely stay there again.
It reminded me of the lovely Carrington Hotel in Katoomba."

"I had a really enjoyable stay and would happily stay here again.
The standout was definitely the staff, they were absolutely incredible. I genuinely couldn’t rate them highly enough. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and accommodating, and they really went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The venue itself has a lovely atmosphere with great vibes, and I really enjoyed the Wednesday night trivia. The food was also excellent.
There are just a few areas that could be improved. As someone with a dairy allergy, I found the menu could cater a little better for people with food allergies, and it would be great if some plant-based milk options were kept on hand.
The bed was a little firmer than my preference, and the rooms could benefit from improved soundproofing. There was no noise travel from the bar downstairs at all, which was great. However, because the room doors don’t block much sound, I was woken around 6:00 am by someone simply using the upstairs communal kitchen.
That said, I think with a bit more soundproofing, more comfortable mattresses and some plant-based milk available, this would be close to a perfect stay.
Overall, it offers excellent value for money, especially considering the location. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to others."
"If you've ever wondered what would happen if a 16th-century English manor house accidentally found itself beside a four-lane Australian highway, the Sir Francis Drake at Heatherbrae has the answer.
From the outside, the Tudor-style architecture is unapologetically authentic, with its steep gables, dark timber features and old-English character. It looks less like a motel and more like somewhere Henry VIII might have stopped for the night—assuming he had swapped his horse-drawn carriage for a Toyota LandCruiser. The irony is delightful: horses graze peacefully out the back while B-doubles thunder past on the Pacific Highway out the front. It's a meeting of two worlds separated by about 500 years.
Step inside and the theme continues. This is not one of those sterile, bright-white motels that all look the same. The interior embraces rich timber, subdued lighting and an atmosphere that whispers, "Welcome to Tudor England." Some may say it's dark; I'd say it's historically committed. If someone walked through reception wearing chainmail, you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid.
The rooms are surprisingly spacious and feel like they were designed for Tudor royalty. The bed is fit for a king or queen—perhaps not Charles III, but certainly Elizabeth I. While the décor carries echoes of another era, you'll still find all the comforts expected by a 21st-century traveller, making it a unique blend of old-world"
