We booked into the Rec hotel for a hot air ballooning experience. We spent about $300 over the bar. Our main meals were disappointing. I ordered garlic prawns ($27ish) 6 beautifully cooked prawns beside maybe 1/4 cup of fluffy rice and best guess 2 tablespoons of garlic sauce. All components were awesome but together, not enough sauce
Entrees size for.main meal price.

Northam has a lot to offer for tourists. Aboriginal history information as well as European settler information. Set on the River Avon there is the annual Avon River descent in August when the river should be at its fullest for the adventurous to test their skills in various water activities. Good base for exploring the Wheatbelt area. Dome Coffee House attached to the Farmers Home Hotel makes for good relaxing drinks and all meals.

Northam is a lovely small town, locater within easy driving distance of the historic towns, Toodyay and York.
An hour or so drive from the city of Perth makes it an ideal place to stay and just commute into the city.

Northam is easy to navigat around and locals were very willing to provide advice if there was something we were unable to find.
There is plenty of coffee shops and food providers to cater for most visitors and there was no waiting for a table when seeking meals.
For the traveller seeking antiques there is an excellent large display in the main street that takes considerable time to check out all that are on display.
The weather while we were there was exxcellent for touring with evenings mild and day temps mid 30 degrees.

A beautiful Town, not far out of Perth.
A beautiful Town, not far out of Perth. Historic buildings, lovely river and a fabulous Cultural Museum.
Give yourself a couple of hours to go through the Museum - it's truly worth it. Set inside a beautiful modern building direct on the river front.
The river itself is a treat. Has an abundance of bird life and a lovely walking path alongside. Cross a pedestrian bridge to get to the other side as well.
There's a great cafe on the Town side (next to the museum), beautiful location to overlook the scenery.
Just outside of Northam, on the way to Toodyay are some painted grain silos. Definitely worth a look!
Once you've arrived in Northam, the Town is very walkable/rideable.
There are plenty of pubs with character, to stop and enjoy a drink. Pub crawl on foot a true possibility!
A quiet peaceful Town, with clean fresh air.

The accommodation spoilt my entire birthday, looked over the room for 5 minutes then left immediately and returned to Perth. What a waste of time fuel and a birthday.
Never ever again!! False advertising!! What a rip off

Staff where excellent from the time we arrived until we departed.
The overall property condition was comfortable and inviting.
The food was delicious and accommodating to most tastes and on comparison for value.
The Rec is in great proximity to anything you might want or need either walking distance or short drive.
We were happily surprised on arrival as properties often promise and not deliver.
This was not the case with the Rec hotel.

The room suited our basic needs - somewhere to stay before a very early start for a hot-air balloon trip. The evening meal in the restaurant far exceeded our expectations. The menu is basically similar to many regional hotels in Australia, but the meal we chose was very much better than we have experienced in other places.
The bed was comfortable, everything was clean and all things worked.

A meticulous renovation and restoration presents this hotel as up market accommodation, but it hasn't lost any country charm. On site cafe for all day meals, plus great bar for shared style in the evening. Plenty of free off street parking. Fully accessible with ramps and lift if stairs a problem. Comfortable bed, quiet A/C, good ensuite and amenities.
