Proud Supporter of the TUMUT-BATLOW RAIL TRAIL

Comments from the Sydney Rail Team who stayed 3 nights in this accommodation:
We were fortunate that we were able to book the 6 apartments for a 3 nights stay. They are fantastic, very clean, with a kitchen, TV and everything you need for a “home away from home “stay. In the garden outside the apartments is a table and chairs, ideal to relax and chat at. A covered barbecue is outside as well, but we were too busy eating out to use it.  The shops, eateries and main street are only a short walk away .We enjoyed sitting outside at the tables of cafes and bakeries, to eat and have coffee and drinks.  There are plenty of good eating places. Tumut is very scenic and an easy town to get around. On the Sunday, some rode  by bike to the wetlands, then followed the river via Elm drive to the racecourse, to join the rest of us for breakfast at the wonderful outdoor café there.. So don’t forget to bring your bike!

Strongly recommended by all the Team. John Moore, Chairman RTs for NSW. February 2016

Comments from the Sydney Rail Team of 8 who stayed 2 nights in this accommodation:
We came to support and meet with the local Save the Manilla Viaduct Railway Bridge and Tourism Group and it was a bonus to us that this centrally located motel’s backdrop was the large Manilla Railway Viaduct, a distinctive heritage feature, of this small town , established in the 1850’s.The hotel rooms are well equipped and very comfortable to stay in.  Our hosts Kate and Greg were very warm and hospitable and their motel caters for the whole family. In the front, there is a children’s playground, and the fire lit at night outside warmed us when we returned from our evening meal. The trip was a memorable one, our stay a pleasant one and we will remember its wonderfully warm townspeople who love their history and dedicated to saving its towering Manilla Railway Viaduct.
