Interstate Hotel

The East Coast


Chew on some pub grub while you assess the health and temper of the locals at the bar. Takeaway barbecue packs and picnic lunches available. There's pub-style accommodation here, too (doubles with/without bathroom from $120/90). If you feel like belting out a rendition of the Stone Temple Pilots' 'Interstate Love Song' at the bar, we're sure no one will take offence.
