Bundanoon Hotel

We paid extra for a "premium ensuite room" but were very disappointed with what we got. The room was tiny and didnt even have a chair or television. We didnt even stay the night and checked out not long after checking in.

We took room with an ensuite. While they're very small, it does the job. There is no a/C which we knew about, but thankfully it was a cool night or it'd be very hot. Winter has heating. Now, if you can sleep through trains, yep more than one at night, then definitely stay here. It's a great old style Scottish themed pub, yes it's creaky and like a rabbit warren finding rooms (not that hard, good signage) and the food was very good. Great price and worth the visit.

Great restaurant

The trains were effing awesome!

We needed accommodation for one night to extend our stay in the Southern Highlands and this was the only place available — a decision we immediately regretted. The room was disgusting with a seedy, unsettling vibe. During a severe heatwave, the room was boiling hot with no air conditioning and zero ventilation. Windows had no fly screens, so opening them meant letting in insects, but keeping them closed made the room unbearably and dangerously hot. There is absolutely no way someone could safely sleep in those conditions. To make matters worse, there was a large spider with babies near the window, and the train line directly across the road is extremely loud, guaranteeing no sleep regardless. After about an hour of sitting there sweating and trying to cool down with wet towels, we left. There was no chance we were staying the night. This place is listed as 3 stars, which is wildly misleading. At best it’s a 1-star. There are no private bathrooms — only dirty communal toilets and showers, accessed via dark, unsettling hallways. The owner refused to refund us, despite the room being spider-infested, around 40°C, and unsafe to sleep in. Avoid at all costs. Zero stars if possible.
