“Chifley Doveton”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2012 NEW

Very nice hotel. Nothing to do around the area if you don't have access to a car.Nice tavern downstairs for a feed and a drink. Didn't open until 5.30pm though. 100 metres down the road is a very nice Hog's Breathe and a Red Rooster.

“Clean & Modern”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2012

Rooms are crisp, clean & modern. There is a restaurant on site which does deliver scrumptious meals to the room if you like. Conveniently located just out of the city.
