This was my second visit to the Australian Hotel.The first time I stayed in the pub.This time I stayed in the motel.I did an outback road trip and St George… read more was the last stop over before heading back to Brisbane. I had a great stay there at the motel.I got there a bit early and check in was no problem.The staff were very helpful. The food in the pub was great.I read previous reviews about not much to do in St George but I managed to fill in a whole day.I went to the weir,then the winery,then lunch at the pub ,then shops followed by a pub crawl around town.I would definitely stop over at St George again on a road trip and I would stay at the Australian Hotel again. Highly Recommended. More

Our first trip out of Brisbane for six months and it couldn’t have been to a better destination. Great atmosphere, excellent food, wonderful hosts and comfortable country pub accommodation.

After getting underway later than expected, having a long day of travel, we landed at The Australian around 6pm on a Saturday night of a long weekend without a booking!… read more Naturally the entire town was booked out. Our lifesaver was Meg, on reception, who proceeded to phone all the other accommodations to check for vacancies ( none available) & then called the bookings who had not yet arrived/checked in. Finally, someone cancelled & Meg promptly booked us into the only room on offer! What a relief! Best night’s sleep!

Recently stayed in the very well renovated motels.
The hotel is excellent and well run.
Icy cold beers are a winner in the west and this hotel has that covered.

Food overall is very solid, with the gourmet pizzas being the highlight. They’re fantastic.
Really competitive and hot prices for the retail as well.
Hats off to the owner operators, Cameron and his stunning wife Cath and the rest of the team on how well this hotel is run, as they focus on ensuring your have a great experience.
Well done.
Hope this helps.
Cheers G
