It was a bit of a walk from the coach stop. If you intend to come to Bourke by coach, you should advise as such, or you might be locked out when security gates close in the early evening. Meanwhile, I liked the wall panels around my little room, which was pretty comfortable.

Generally a standard property for the star rating. Some problems with a flashing Fluor in the bathroom. Room was on a main road and the traffic noise was intense. It would appear no effort has been made to attenuate this.

I loved the pop of colour on the bed covers. The large flat screen TV was great. I did not like the brick facade inside the unit and the outdated furniture. The room was expensive for what you got.

This doesn’t promise to be luxury. It was a comfortable bed and a hot shower for the night. The owners were lovely and the servo across the road had great pizza. It wasn’t expensive but the in room facilities were great for the price.

The security gates were broken. Bourke is a very rough town and for that basic security to not be working it didn't make use feel that our cars would not be stolen/broken into. We ended up getting changed in the accommodation to go to a funeral and then slept in our cars out of town as it was the safer option. All locals that we spoke to at the funeral said it wasn't a matter of if you get broken into, they said we WOULD get broken into.
