In the classic style of an old country pub, we offer a comfortable, spacious TV Lounge. The perfect place to settle in and meet other guests at the end of the day.

La Rosa coffee beans

La Rosa bean coffee

We took the full lowdown from the Bonissimo barista trainer on bean quality. We chose La Rosa — a bean we believe will satisfy the most discerning coffee aficionado.

Communal dining room

Some words from our customers

Bringing this grand old lady back


Welcome stay after birdwatching

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. A form in each room asked for any comments or suggestions that may be helpful. Continental breakfast was very good and plentiful. The new owner, Joyce, was very friendly and helpful with all issues. A revamp and restoration programme is bringing this grand old lady back. My group of American friends loved the character and friendliness.

True country hospitality

We spent 3 wonderful nights at the Queen of the Murchison in Cue. Our host Joyce could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The hotel has only recently changed hands and is in the midst of updating and renovating — not in any way an inconvenience to guests. The bathroom facilities are shared, but large and clean, so that was no issue to us.

A true gem

An interesting historic building. The Queen will be truly wonderful when the current revamp is completed with its alfresco cafe. The warm welcome with clean comfortable rooms and nearby ablutions with good pressure hot water was most appreciated after a long dusty day. Dinner was a generous portion and the continental breakfast made for a great start to our day.
