Top place!! Used to go there (infrequently) when I frequented the Aratula Dropzone, but haven't been there for quite some years. Spent the last long weekend there for a convention/conference...... and had a *ball*!! Didn't go to my old stomping ground at Dugandens, but went and tried just about every other pub in the place!! The Australian is good to drink at and have a feed, but if you want pub accomodation, stay at the Commercial. The Comm also has Foxtel in the main bar. Simons Pub is Ok, but too close to a rather steep downhill slope!! (And a bit too closed in for me.) (Pub rooms from about $75 for 2 nights at the Aus.) I stayed at the brand spanking new Boonah Valley Motel. Right next door to "The Outlook". How many people can say that they spent their weekend in a 'virgin' bed??!! Not your usual motel style accomodation, more duplex 4star cabin, on a long winding road down from the reception and (*bloody good*) restaurant. Room 14 even has a spa :-) Heaps of wildlife at the back patio, and you can sit there and have `sundowners`and watch the owners horse herd race full tilt across the hills when they get called for a feed at about 5.30pm Rooms will set you back about $135 a night. But they are *worth* it!! (Flat screen Tv`s, spas, very modern fittings.......... and hand basins that you could almost have a bath in!!) Call Sally Summers on 5463 4738 The locals are friendly, the beer is cold, the food is great, the steaks even better, and they even have some decent wine. Sat morn in the main street is a hoot!!
