– Lucinda – October 2023, Campsie AustraliaThe George is a beautiful establishment. Parking right out the front, staff very kind and welcoming, a incredibly comfortable room, welcome drinks, a gorgeous little teddy bear and chocolates left in the room, a really first-class dinner. My husband used the new gym as well and really appreciated that. I am grateful for the free guest laundry (they supply laundry powder). Just a really lovely experience across the road from one of the most beautiful parks we have ever walked through.
