Tried to get accommodation in Mullumbimby for an overnight stop. Two choices, a motel and the pub, both apparently owned by the same folk. Can only book on line… so I did but only after i went into the pub and spoke to the barman. So $120 paid and it went bad from there. No parking available out the back… try later he said. Ok.. upstairs we go, through the rabbit warren to find a hot stuffy room. No aircon, no bathroom. So backdown stairs we go.. he basically called us liars and took the key and raced upstairs. Oh, he says sorry I haven’t been up here for a while. 
Downstairs we go again, for him to say I’ll have to give you a room at the other place. Again no parking, the complex is grubby, bathroom old and moody. Suggestion, don’t stay in Mullumbimby.

Don’t waste your time or money

Used to be a great pub where you could
Get a decent meal at a great price.
My daughters meal was missing when we went to pick up our meals, which I knew I had ordered and paid for.
When asking about it the man was super rude and was like if it’s not on the docket you didn’t pay for it. He then chucked the docket at me  to show me but sure enough her meal is on the docket.
He then goes and grabs the meal and plonks it in front of me. 
All meals except 1 out of 6 were cold, none of us really enjoyed it.
We would have taken them back but after waiting over an hour and a half we just wanted to get out of there. Highlight was the garlic bread which at least was hot.

Used to be a great pub..

There was a cool room motor outside the room that literally made the hairs on my legs vibrate. I booked a room with an ensuite and was given a room with work out lumpy beds, a Wardrobe and dressing table from the wild west with paint chips out of them and graffitti on the sides, The room door did not unlock, had to go into it from the other side, the common toilet doors did not lock. See photos for product versus pack shot. There were no photos on their web site of the room that I got. I wonder why. For $30 extra I could have had a room with a pool and sauna on the the Gold Coast. After 4 hours of trying to get to sleep I gave up and left at 2 a.m. It was more comfortable to drive to Coolangatta and sleep in my car.  

Extremely underwhelmed

The Middle Pub, Mullumbimby, is iconic. Situated on the central intersection in Burringbar Street, it's upper floor has the most charming wrought iron balcony on two sides from which one can view the comings and goings on the main street, view the sunsets and be in close proximity to the noisy Lorikeets vying for space in the Bangalow palms.
However, to get upstairs to this rare balcony, it is unbelievably disheartening to see the filthy carpet on the stair treads and the build up of dirt in the corners of each step. The bannister too has not been wiped clean for who knows how long. 
The landing has not had a good scrub for decades judging by the build up of spills over a long period of time.
On the balcony itself, also long overdue for a good spit and polish, one is confronted with most unattractive furniture one could possibly encounter on such an otherwise beautiful balcony. 
It is without doubt an incredible injustice to a rare building as this, in the heart of Mullumbimby.

Confounded by dirt and grime

Booking online was easy. Room great but paper thin walls. Didn't need to hear conversation from guy next door with his lawyer.  $19 for a beer and Chardonnay. Surf and turf for dinner - steak was so tender but chips Stone cold! Beef curry was tasty but needed more kick.

Overnight Stay

To start with, As someone who has slept on the street, that would have felt safer and been cleaner. The staff are unfriendly and seem to not care at all about there jobs. I can only assume they are paid terribly or treated terribly and it is very reflected in there behaviour. The room felt like it was either inspired by the shining or was what the shining was inspired by. The sheets and pillow cases were stained with who knows what and the towels looked like they have been passed down for generations. The stairs inside the pub felt like they were as close to quitting as the staff acted and I mentally prepared my will as I walked on them. We knew that it was a pub and to expect some noise during the night, but the sound was that bad that I felt as if I would hear the people down stairs if they farted. There is a security door for safety, but our room was on the outside of it. As to the bathrooms, I’ve used cleaner public toilets. The mattress was that bad that it felt like it had a personal vendetta against the concept of comfort and the only other things in the room were a smoke alarm that looked like it had no batteries, a tv we were too scared to touch and furniture that looked like it had been picked up from the side of the road. The entrance to the pub was crowded by homeless people who are actually friendlier than the people working here. We paid $90 for the room so didn’t expect much, but it was that bad I feel they should have paid us to stay there. Do yourself a favour and sleep in the gutter instead.

Being homeless as a youth was preferable

Staff was friendly and easy to chat with. Room was large but very noisy. Rooms have balcony doors which are directly next to the tables for people from pub to drink and smoke. This unfortunately make the rooms very noisy (until the pub closes) and smoke from cigarets goes right to the rooms where is no air-condition (only fan). It felt like sleeping right in the middle of pub. I have never seen so dirty floor leading to the first floor where are the rooms. It is really shame as this place has such lovely old vibe and decorations in the ground floor. With little bit of work, decent clean this place could be great.

Noisy place, rooms get cigaret smoke in from the outside balcony

Visited the middle pub for a meal on entry checkin was provided. Not sure if it was policed   Mask wearing although mandatory was a but hit n miss particularly with kitchen staff   Saw a sign to sanitize before handling cutlery. Didnt see one person do it nor was it reminded.  Food came quickly and was ok.  How wrong can you go with fish chips n salad   For $15 they have it in the bag pumping out meals.

One more time to be sure

Customer service very poor by young barmaid on two occasions.  When I asked where check in was she pointed to the reception area and no one was there which she could see.  Barmaid didn’t assist by getting anyone, we waited well over 10 minutes.  Behind the reception bar were many kegs which they had to walk around to get to reception bar.  Second occasion was later on, she ignored us when we wanted to order a drink.  Is because we were not locals??   Hotel did not have  many car spaces.  Could not use TV remote as batteries flat in our room. Hotel needs a lot of maintenance and customer service training.

Disappointing stay

My friend organized a group birthday lunch here for our Quilter’s. Very good menu and great choices. Although we all ordered something different they all came out together and everyone enjoyed their meal. No problems. Salad served with the meal was fresh and very appertising. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
