Truck was a glorious surprise - much bigger than it appeared from outside. 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.

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.

Staying in the old trucks is a unique experience. Very easy being just behind the hotel. The bedding needs to be updated and some maintenance - bathroom heating not working Still a nice place to spend a weekend

The North Star Inn is a lovely place to stay. 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.

Sleep in a truck!
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.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and its ensuite. It also had a shared kitchen facility that was very handy. Beautiful hiking trails. We were very happy that we decided to stay the night at Melrose, and we recommend the North Star Hotel.

Unique is a word that would cover this property!! 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.

Great pub for dinner. We stayed in the green truck and had a comfortable night stay in a very wild and stormy night. Beats camping!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in one of the balcony rooms.Comfortable queen size bed, renovated ensuite. Effective split system reverse cycle air conditioner. Shared kitchenette provided cereal, juice, tea/coffee and bread/ spreads. It was lovely to sit on the balcony on rustic canvas chairs eating breakfast and watching the world go by. Pub meal next door was delicious!
