  Great friendly old world charm

  17 Feb 2022

  This is a great little spot and town to stay at in the hinterland of Taree. Old world rustic charm with friendly service. The restaurant does a terrific breakfast and the rooms are clean and generous.The hotel is off the main park and has a walk into a natural forest nearby (a bat Sanctury - bit smelly but amazing large trees). Worth a stop to get off the sterile motel route.

  Delightful, peaceful and great stopover

  12 May 2021

  Needed something peaceful for a stopover on a busy trip north and couldn't have picked better. Plus the added advantage was the great breakfast included the next day. The Staff were delightful and helpful giving good tips on quickest way back to the motorway.

  It's in the detail!

  The Bank guest house is unique - all the charm of an old building with good old fashioned customer service thrown in. From the 2 Lindt chocolate balls in the fridge, to the filled decanter in the gorgeous living room, it's truly a unique experience. The breakfast that's included is delicious. I had the scrambled eggs with mushrooms and tomatoes on sour dough, with 2 coffees! All this on top of the fruit, yoghurt and cereal. If you want to spoil yourself- I recommend stay at the Bank Guesthouse. You won't be disappointed.

  Old World Charm at The Bank

  23 Oct 2020

  We stayed at The Bank Guesthouse on our way north to Byron Bay taking the road less traveled. From the street where there is ample street parking, The Bank is an impressive building - a former Bank of New South Wales. It’s in the same street as both the Pub and the RSL - both great for food and drink options. Across the street is a park where the local cricket team was playing! The Bank is walking distance to the local Coles and bottle shop.On entering the property you’re taken back to a bygone era. The rear facing sitting room was like visiting my grandma’s house with wonderful decor from times past. Due to COVID, check in was contactless and directed by text message - all very helpful and straightforward. Our room was upstairs and facing the street. Again, the decor suited the building’s era and was very homely. The room has all the essentials including tea, coffee, fridge, WiFi and a period-appropriate bathroom. The room also featured some antique furniture and a view to the street and park. The only area for improvement was the comfort of the bed - it would have been nice to have a pillow top mattress like other establishments in this class.Overall, we enjoyed our stay at The Bank.

  Clean comfortable pet friendly

  30 Jan 2020

  This was our second stay and we will be staying here anytime we are in the area.Our dog was very happy with the back yard area and air conditioning.The rooms are clean comfortable and have coffee and tea facilities.The garden room is very private and we were not bothered by anyone during our stay.They very thoughtfully have the aircon on before arrival so the room was lovely and cool.Bar fridge with essentials, tv, information on local places you might like to visit, park directly opposite if you want to walk your dog.They provided everything we needed.Would have been 5 stars but whilst the bed was not uncomfortable I am accustomed to a better quality of mattress so this was in my opinion the only place for improvement.Also breakfast is provided if you want it but as we didn’t have breakfast on either of our stays I cannot tell you if it was good or not.
