    The Wilmo needs a little love but its a pleasant country stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The wash basin in the room had a sign saying not to use the taps. The balcony has been closed off by an a/c unit and now home to lots of pigeons. The shared bathroom hasn't been updated in years, so it felt a little creepy. Whilst the carpet was new & the bedding comfortable & clean in the budget room, there were big cracks in the walls & ceiling and lots of creaking in the floors so I'm thinking upstairs accommodation needs some attention in maintenance.

    After camping for 2 weeks, it was great to stop in at the Wilmo for a night with a hot shower & a comfy bed. The pub had a country town vibe with locals stopping in for meals & drinks. We enjoyed our meals in the pub rather than the dining room & played some pool. The Wilmington is located really close to Mt Remarkable National Park with the turn off to Alligator Gorge just up the road.

    Room was not clean and for a family stay was far from the bathroom. Was woken several times early in the morning by banging on our door from other kids in the hotel that I believe belonged to the owner/manager. Ball got stuck in pool table during our game and my son helped solved the problem but then the manager/owners child kept disrupting our game by knocking balls down. Didn’t even get offered money for another game when owner/manager was advised.

    The entertainment on the night and the meals were exceptional!

    The huge crack in the wall, around the ceiling and along the skirting. Unsure if fire alarms were working as there were no indicator lights.

    The shower was fantastic. Hot and firm.

    Would have been good to have had a TV in the room or a TV in the upstairs lounge.

    The Wilmington is a great Country pub. The food is typical pub food, with large servings. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Loved sitting out on the front verandah.

    It's a country pub, so shared facilities were expected and they were clean though they could use an upgrade for sure. The owners have created a nice little guest lounge with fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave. Next they need to add a TV, bookshelves and maybe some games for families travelling through. And at least one more sofa in the room would be good if there are a few more guests.

    Very basic room with shared bathroom facilities. Old building that creaks, but decent. There is a kettle and microwave, but in a common room.

    Staff were lovely and helpful. Comfy enough for an overnight stay when passing through.

    Shared shower and toilet along the corridor. Room was directly above the public bar. It was incredibly loud with blaring music and drunken patrons in the carpark. Quite dated decor.

    Conveniently located. Good counter meals. Private dining room and sitting room with coffee making facility.

    It is not that I did not like it, but obviously a pub hotel in a small town is OLD, and the facilities are not renovated :) So very basic accommodation. But that was what I expected, and it was a comfy stay. And very cheap, even though price was not attracted me there.

    Excellent, laid-back staff. Great evening meal with traditional pub fare with a group of friends. I was the only over-night stayer that night, being mid-week in slow season.

    Whilst it isn’t that we didn’t like , we need to admit we are getting older & stairs can be a challenge. We just took our time & loved the staircase.

    We enjoyed our lovely evening meals in the bar area & chatted with other interesting dining guests. Quaint old country hotel to transport back in time. Bonus sitting room to enjoy coffee. Pity we didn’t find it until just about to leave 😂Hope to allow more time next time to explore the town & have another meal & drink.
