To go to new Norcia was an experience is was a trip back in time and to be able to do the tour that took 2hours .The tour guide was just a great lady who explained everything to the group ,After the tour We spent a couple of hours in the bar and boy the beer was nice and cold .
We stopped to have a look to see if it was somewhere we would stay. It is a very old majestic building but i felt uneasy there so not sure i could sleep there. I constantly wondered if it was haunted. Great that they have kept so many old interesting items there to see. great you can stop and have lunch there.
If you're considering staying at the New Norcia Hotel I hope you're also planning to spend some time exploring and experiencing the New Norcia. The hotel itself is incredible. It has a faded, faked opulence that endears itself. Great bar and Restaurant too. There are shared bathrooms which might be a deal breaker for some, but what did it for us was the huge shared balcony with its fake Corinthian columns. Once a hostel for parents traveling to and from the schools that operated here, the hotel is just a small, but very enjoyable part of the whole New Norcia experience.
The food is ok but the bar staff refuse to take orders at the bar, or to come to the table until the whole tour group arrives even though everyone is ordering a la carte. They made us wait a frustrating 1/2 an hour or more at the table to order (and then went to other tables and served other later comers first). One of our party was on chemo and feeling very unwell from hunger, but when advised of this there were no concessions made . All the orders went to to the kitchen close together, further slowing the food down. Then after a very long wait when even the healthy perople were facing from hunget, we got our order but didn't get exactly what we ordered. Needless to say we dodnt even try to get the error fixed. The waitress hadnt entered the promised discount from the tour because we forgot to mention it (even though we all had red tour badges on) and then refused to adjust this when we asked after ordering. Very poor service all round. When a discount is offered, dont hide behind technicalities, just honour it. The pub attitude spoiled an otherwise great visit to New Norcia
I love heritage hotels that take you back in time. New Norcia was an amazing experience with a vintage touch. There are only 16 rooms with shared bathrooms for male/female. Beds were comfy for us. Service was out of this world. Definitely will return for the experience.
Built in 1927 and nestled beneath gum trees overlooking the township, the Latin word Salve - Welcome - on the threshold tells you this is no ordinary country pub. The New Norcia Hotel was …Moreoriginally a hostel for the parents of the boarders at the New Norcia colleges, but is now a practical expression of the Benedictine tradition of hospitality and the Hotel's classic style will take your breath away as you approach the double front doors. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available and whether you are after a quick snack on the run or a more relaxing meal, the Hotel will be able to cater for you.Seasonal menu's are prepared and range from fresh soup that is prepared each day to larger meals or even a good old fashioned burger. Sunday night is pizza night and all bases are cooked in New Norcia's wood-fired oven. Open daily for lunch between 12:00 - 2:00pm (2:30pm on weekends) and for dinner between 6:00 - 8:00pm (8:30pm Friday and Saturday) Closed Christmas Day & Boxing Day. Less

Hello Veraaloe,
During my stay, I had New Norcia Bread and dip for starters. It was refreshing dipping virgin oil then into dukkha and mains a fish and chips. However, during my last visit, I had Chicken Parmigiana with cheeseboard to share around. Awesome.
