Open nightly for guests only, we have a licensed restaurant serving a small selection of meals, with our roast lamb being a favourite of many. You might wish to add a local wine with labels like “Track Winding Back” and “Bidgeebong” arousing your imagination.
Followed by a good sleep, it may well be the birds that wake you before the arrival of your hearty, hot breakfast, if that’s how you like to start the day. Or, if you like, just some cereal and toast. By now you may be thinking that a second night is necessary. Plenty of time for a swim in summer months, and as the town literature suggests so much to see and do. So much to find on foot for the fit and energetic; with history and stories of days gone by confronting your every step. Galleries and a museum, arts and crafts, marble monuments, historic bridges and buildings.
Gundagai – Arguably Australia’s best known town. Etched in Australian history and verse. Think “The Dog on the Tuckerbox”. Think “Dad, Dave, Mabel and Mum”. They’re all here in Gundagai waiting for you. Just like Mabel waiting for Dave. Good old fashioned romance; you can feel it here.
We are confident that your experience with us will be a little different. A good experience we hope. Ours is not just another motel. Pause to take it all in. Take a deep breath or two. Gaze, eat, walk, sleep and don’t forget to smell the roses. Absorb a little piece of what is uniquely and traditionally Australian.
Things to See and Do in Gundagai
While in Gundagai try the 18 hole golf course located along the picturesque Murrumbidgee River. Wander down Sheridan Street for a look at some of the town's oldest buildings, which include the Old Flour Mill in Sheridan Lane and the Prince Alfred Bridge, Australia's longest timber viaduct, built in 1866.
Local events include the Snake Gully Cup, a two day horse racing carnival held in November, the Dog on the Tuckerbox Festival and the Turning Wave celebration of Irish/Australian song, dance, poetry and traditional Irish hurling, which is held in September.
