Staying here turned out to be the high point of our holiday. Les is a larger than life good guy with a heart of gold and a determination to spread goodwill to everyone who comes his way. The hotel experience is a mixture of traditional Aussie pub with (clean and tastefully renovated) shared bathrooms and holiday camp with Les doing everything he can to encourage community and cultural exchange amongst his guests.
The rooms are bright and airy with quality furniture and fittings, and there are lots of spaces in the hotel to read a book or prepare a meal or watch tv, or even practice playing music.
And Terang is a great location so long as one has a car. A short drive to Noorat to experience the places described in "I can jump puddles" and not too far from the Great Ocean Road, in a town with some fascinating old time shops and heritage buildings.
