Dongara Hotel Motel

West Coast Australia


Locals love the Dongara's legendary servings of fresh seafood, steaks and 'Asian Corner' curries, mie goreng and pad thai. There's a shady outdoor terrace for drinks, plus live music ('Jammin with Charlie') on Sunday afternoons, and other live acts on Saturday nights.

The motel rooms (room/suite $145/290) are stylish and facilities are good.
