I like to participate in life rather than be a spectator. Music, dancing, theatre, travelling, food, cycling and walking are some of my passions. Writing is an enjoyable pastime that allows me to share my experiences.

Food, drinks, entertainment and accomodation

The
Heritage Hotel Motel Dorrigo is literally the centre of town. Dorrigo is a small friendly town with limited evening dining options. Hotel Dorrigo is open all week to cater to the entertainment and food needs of tourists and locals alike. It is full of history having been built in 1925 by Michael Feros and is still owned by the Feros family. There is a cabinet in the dining room full of interesting knick-knacks and memorabilia.

They cook the usual pub fare such as schnitzel and burgers and have an ever-changing blackboard menu to take advantage of seasonal fresh regional produce. They also do pizzas, a variety of pot pies and curry dishes. Children under 12 are well catered for with $10 meals, including ice cream and topping for dessert.

The apple and rhubarb crumble dessert was a very generous serve (plenty for two to share) and tasted like a warm hug from your grandmother.

They have a range of
accomodation options, including classic heritage rooms opening onto the verandah to the more modern motel units out the back of the hotel. They cater to everyone, from the lone business traveller to family groups out to
