BUG review
This place is out in the middle of nowhere between Murchison and Westport, but you will see signs for it along the highway so won’t miss it if you are driving. Berlins is mostly a newly restored old bar, with old photographs and memorabilia on the walls, but there are two large dorms with nice furnishings and comfortable beds, and a nice small kitchen and common area. There is a television plus laundry facilities and internet access is available. They used to run kayaking tours from here, but now there is talk of jet boating. It is near some nice walking trails, but otherwise there is not much of a reason to stay here unless you feel like breaking up the drive to Westport.
