Shame there is no breakfast available at the Hotel. So not good if you are wanting an early start. There is an excellent cafe just down the road. Store 54 I think it's called. Great coffee and great breakfasts, wish they would open before 8.30 though! Only place we could find in Melrose for breakfast. ##### Jeffrey ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelo Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quirky accommodation on top of a truck.

Far enough away from pub to feel private. Staff were friendly and food at the inn was glorious with lovely Australian flavours. Restful and pleasant getaway, even though the township was very busy that weekend. ##### jill Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Scott Jun 19, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Got put into a dirty room that wasn't cleaned. Pointed it out and got moved into a cleaned room. Heater didn't work properly. Black mould in the bathroom above the shower. Expected more for $150 a night. I wouldn't go back or recommend this place. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Neville Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Staying in the old trucks is a unique experience.

This was our second stay in this same room. Melrose is conveniently positioned to break up the drive from Port Lincoln to Adelaide. The room with ensuite bathroom is spacious, clean and well appointed. The location in Melrose is ideal with easy access to the North Star Inn (obviously) and other venues in the area. We recommend this accommodation. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rob May 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Chilly Autumnal reception Charming accommodation but icy service ##### Rob Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan May 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Liked the cleanliness, the bathroom and the quite.

Room created inside an old truck. Yes, you read well, a truck standing on stumps and secured. Bathroom and toilet are separate, just across the room. Reduced space inside, but sufficient for two people. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Farshid Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and its ensuite.

It is in need of some tlc & a good clean. Room was dingy. Shower head fell off. Bed creaked so not much sleep. Broken chairs on the bacony along with a collection of bottles from previous visitors. Kitchen - didn't use it. Decor looks like something from the 60s/70s. ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great pub for dinner. We stayed in the green truck and had a comfortable night stay in a very wild and stormy night.
