It was most refreshing to be
greeted with a smile and a warm and sincere welcome from
Geoff and Rosie Wheeler when I arrived at the Byer
Fountain Motor Inn, Holbrook, NSW. It was obvious that
they both had a real concern for me and the other guests
to meet our needs to ensure a memorable stay.
The motel rooms were
comfortable, clean and convenient. The spacious dining
room served good quality meals at a reasonable price. My
rack of lamb the first night of my stay, and the steak
on my second night were tender and tasty. The best lamb
and steak I have eaten for some years. If you're
looking for good old fashioned country hospitality and a
quality dining experience you can do no better than stay
at the Byer, Holbrook.
