A truly unique and special place! With equally special owners and staff.
The rooms are up stairs, but they do have one fully accessible room. Each room is delightfully decorated to commemorate different musicians.
Rooms have pretty good sound proofing, but it is still easy to hear the live music that plays at various times (lunch or dinner) in the Flow Bar downstairs. To really enjoy, book a table downstairs and enjoy a lovely meal or make use of the table and chairs provided on the verandah outside the rooms and order a meal to be delivered to your room.
I attended on the Old Bar Festival (previously known as The Kombi Festival) which has run for many years on the Labour Day long weekend in October.
With markets, live music, lots of amazing food and fun rides, there is something for every one! Spectacular aerial acrobatics from some scarily expert pilots and a parade of hundreds of amazing Kombis really are breathtaking and draw people from across Australia and beyond.
This is definitely the right place to stay if you enjoy good music and supporting local and well known talent, good food and good people. The easy access to the beach, via a rainforest trail directly across the road, is yet another bonus.
Booking well in advance is a must, because accommodation in Old Bar, and surrounding areas, is hard to come by on a whim all year 'round.
