Southern NSW: where to stay, where to eat, where the locals drink.
Pub accommodation in Southern NSW covers two border towns. The Boomerang Hotel is in Lavington, on the Albury side of the Murray River, where New South Wales meets Victoria. Hotel Queanbeyan is a traditional pub on the other border — Queanbeyan sits right beside Canberra, and the pub has a bistro, a bar and free parking for guests.
Both are practical, good-value stays for anyone travelling the inland route or visiting the capital without paying capital-city prices. Enquire directly with the publican for rates on your dates.

Affordable pub accommodation in Southern NSW
A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and both Southern NSW pubs listed here are run by their publicans. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Most publicans here quote directly rather than publishing rates online — send an enquiry with your dates and they'll come back with a price.
The value is in what's downstairs, too. One of the 2 pubs serves meals on site, so dinner is a flight of stairs away rather than a drive. One of the 2 pubs has parking for guests.
Traditional pubs in Southern NSW
Both are traditional pubs — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
