Coonalpyn Hotel

My husband nick-named this hotel, the 'Serial Killer Hotel'! Was a shocking stay! Room had raw timber floors that were filthy. The smallest bed that my husband did not fit into! No fridge and as we were road tripping, there was nowhere to keep our supplies in over night and re-freeze our icepacks. The whole place was filthy, dusty and cobwebs in the corners. The smoke detector was just hanging wires from the roof! Make matters worse, people were thumping in and out of the accommodation from 5am and on timber floors, woke up up constantly. No remote control for the TV so absolutely nothing to do and not even able to watch the footy on the TV. Staff were not very helpful at all when we asked for a remote to operate the TV. Everything just seemed like too much effort. Ultimately I would give this place 0 stars if I could, it was just awful! People recommended the food at the hotel, sadly, it took 1hr and 15 minutes to get 2 burgers that really were very ordinary and nothing special. My chicken burger had been deep fried within an inch of its life and was like eating a timber plank between two pieces of bread. Not good at all!

Great staff and owners, delicious menu and overall a great country pub! We were kindly donated a room for the night as my partner was on his charity walk from Ballarat to South Australia. If you want the small community/country pub then definitely go here! Love it and highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a lovely stay in Coonalpyn. Our hosts were extremely friendly and made my kids and I feel welcome. The house poodle Zeus was a big hit. But the standout were the restaurant meals. Traditional pub food with a modern twist. Very high quality that saw my kids asking if we could come just for dinner on our return trip to Victoria. The rooms are basic, clean and tidy. Everything in Coonalpyn is close to the highway, but we didn’t have any issue with noise. A minor renovation is underway, which may explain the lack of a mirror in our bathroom. We were just looking for a safe place to break up our journey and instead we found a friendly oasis. We will stay again. Make sure you eat in the restaurant. But save room for Waffles next door!

this place was a real surprise the rooms were just being done up and more than met our needs at a good price the staff were all fantastic and food was the best food we had along the Nullabor I don't think i have ever had a better cooked rump steak and even all the locals were very friendly towards travellers.
