The Timber and Steel Cafe is the in-house cafe of The Carriers Arms Hotel Motel. It’s a convenient place to relax after you check in to your room. The pizzas they do are fantastic and the service is pretty good. Beers are cold, so what more could you want. Overall 5/5 Location 5/5 …

This motel has 2 sections a newer part and the older part that was probably part of the pub complex. We booked via Booking.com so we were in the older part of the motel. It is ok for the money and the pub is maybe 50 metres away so that’s always a bonus. Overall score …

Sydney Adventures – Back to Our Favourite Part of Town December had arrived, which could only mean one thing: it was time for another trip to Sydney! 🍻 Once again, we headed straight for The Rocks, one of our favourite destinations in Australia. With Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and enough pubs …
