The Empire Hotel Deloraine

Nice old pub, with comfortable self-contained room and off-street parking. Good atmosphere in the bar, and a cosy little cafe/restaurant is attached to the hotel. We had a meal at the hotel which was well priced, large and very tasty (try the venison). Quite a few other travelers were staying at the same time, and we struck up some really pleasant conversations. Nice, large, relaxed area for people staying to use for relaxing and for breakfast (continental). Breakfast was good and even though there were many guests eating at the same time there was plenty of space and the vibe was good. A local chap runs a free platypus spotting walk from the front of the hotel along the banks of the Meander River on dusk and it is a good opportunity to see platypus in the wild. The gent is quite a character and has a wealth of knowledge on platypus and the area in general. I bought him a drink when we got back to the bar as he freely donates his own time to help visitors enjoy Deloraine. My partner and I done the walk again at sparrow fart the next morning and saw quite a lot of platypus, with the foot bridge being a good vantage point.

loved the whole experienc

Rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. We only stayed one night and wish we had more time there - we loved it!

Nothing - loved everything.
