The Robertson Hotel

Garden

We stayed in a room without a bathroom. At first sight, the room looked nice, but we quickly came to realise that it was quite dirty in there. Worst of all was the terrible earthy smell and dampness in the room. It was not possible to keep the window open because it was broken, and there was neither air conditioning nor a fan in there. On a positive note, the toilets were close to our room. We will not be returning to The Robertson Hotel.

1930's charm. Wonderful breakfast. Beautiful grounds.

So much old world charm, great staff and fabulous food

Photoshop works wonders to convince you that you are paying for a unique stay in a 1935 hotel manor. What you get is a drive way full of potholes, the outside of the building covered in mould with bits and pieces detaching for the main building. Internally the flooring creak badly, paint work is peeling off, wood paneling is damaged. Carpeting is completely removed in some sections of the building leaving visible poor conditioned timber flooring. The building smells of dust with layers visible in the book shelving upstairs, dripping hot water units in the hallway as there are no kettles in the bedroom. Walking into the bedrooms it is clear they had the bear amount of work down to them to make them livable. Cobwebs and dust around the windows, zero cooling equipment (fans or air conditioning) to use on a hot night and you can’t leave the windows open to cool the rooms was one window had no fly screen and the other does but full of holes. To compound all of this, we walked around the overgrown grounds, trying to not trip on the dilapidated pathways and road base (a serious accident just waiting to happen). The hotel information said restaurant, however are told it is closed. We ask if breakfast is available and told its $25/adult and $15/child. What you get for $80 is packets of cereal, toast and muffins. Although we never ate breakfast or confined we would we were still charged $80. Don’t stay, biggest con around.

It's sad to have to say this, but the Robertson Hotel has fallen into bad disrepair. A magnificent building now in delapidation. The modern upgrades are bad , and many things have still to be done. Downpipes, bathrooms, rotting woodwork, outside tidiness; all need doing over thoroughly.

Cute hotel with lots of charm and history. Very cosy room. Would stay again if travelling through the area!

What an amazing place. Full of character and old world charm. We loved staying here.
