Lovely staff. It’s aged, budget friendly and it’s looked after and the cleanliness is great. The food at the pub is amazing and they have the sport on and the patrons aren’t rowdy. There is truck noise for being on a busy road but nothing too excessive. Id stay again

Staff were absolutely lovely, and really accommodating. The room itself was clean and neat, no weird smells, and an aircon that works!
The blind has gaps around the edges, so the room lit up very easily, and you definitely hear people talking in the car park. Considering location though, the traffic noise didn't bother me at all (my partner heard loud trucks every now and then).
Absolutely recommend the pub for meals, great staff and delicious food (seriously, we're debating driving an hour and a bit just for the Mexican Parma hahaha).
Oh, and there can be confusion with codes if you end up with a check out time after 10am, don't freak out tho, you get text a new code on the day!

Guided to the Star

We were welcomed so well from our first meeting at reception from the staff in the bar who gave us advice on the various drinks available. The food was tasty and delivered promptly and with always a few words of welcome. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We found the Guiding Star to be very friendly and we would recommend it for a stay.

The rooms are always comfortable and spotless, with all the essentials. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Love the convenience of having a restaurant, cafe, and bottle shop on site, plus they'll deliver dinner right to your room! Plenty of parking available too.

Always a positive experience; I'll happily stay again!

Reception was very welcoming and happy to assist with my requests, Having a small light left on and air con going for my arrival at night was greatly appreciated. Although I didn’t use it, the option of having an evening meal brought to your room was a great idea. Lovely hot water and comfy bed. Plenty of parking space. Traffic was a little noticeable but ear plugs would be an easy fix.

This place is in a very accessible place in Melbourne. I checked in just as kitchen was about to close, staff very friendly made atmosphere feel welcoming.
They made sure I got a very delicious meal and delivered to room as I had, a big drive getting there.
Room already had Aircon going and it’s was a warm evening so to walk in to an already cooled down room was heaven.
I stayed two nights was very affordable and convenient for me.

My only disappointment was the Wi-Fi service! It was truly literally inaccessible... Was one reason l booked the room here as l needed to be able to access details on my tablet, which l was unable to do! It cut out every 10 seconds would have to wait 30 seconds for it to sign back in to only cut out again straight away!
