Other published opinions

Age Good Food Guide 2008 "A double-storey Victorian facade and forecourt fountain mark Riversleigh as a specialoccasion venue, but behind its elegant exterior is a friendly and affordable restaurant"

The Age Good Food Guide 2005 score 13/20 "YOU'VE got to admire a restaurant that hits its mark with as much confidence as Riversleigh, balancing corporate overnighters, locals and travellers with affable ease. The setting is charming, whether you're in the splendid period dining room, the pleasant bistro or one of two garden courtyards."

AGFG 2004, score 13/20, excellent bar, accomodation available

Age, Epicure, Escape, Claude Forell, 12/11/02, "Worth a visit."

Herald Sun 25/9/2000 'Hot Hotels in the Country' Michael Harden - go formal in the dining room or enjoy casual bistro food at this lovely country hotel overlooking the Mitchell River.
