BUG review
This old pub has backpackers' accommodation upstairs. It's an old wooden building with lots of character and it also shows plenty of wear and tear although it is kept clean. It has a small TV lounge and a balcony looking over the dinosaur in the main street.

This accommodation is alright. It's in the middle of nowhere, but it does have character - it looks like a building from a western movie. My room was small but comfortable, and the showers were alright too. Clean but basic. Downstairs is a pub which is mainly visited by (older) locals, so that can be fun. The noise didn't bother me. I was there with some friends and we were the only travelers. I guess it's not a popular place to visit, and certainly not a place to meet fellow backpackers, but it's great place to rest for 1 night.
