Ellen Hotel

Stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere to eat in Port Pirie and wow are we glad we did. Dined in the restaurant having the oysters which we plumb and fresh ++ Brikset and steak which we're delicious and followed up with the lemon meringue and sticky date - both amazing. Darryl the owner was working the restaurant and extremely friendly and helped made the night extra fun and enjoyable with his attention to details and welcoming and friendly nature. Will definitely stay at this hotel next time we are in Pirie. Highly recommended!

From the moment I walked into the beautiful foyer until the time I left - I was so impressed with the people - Jamie -always welcoming and professional with an added smile, Taylah Restaurant extrodinairre and Wine and dessert Queen and Michael The Chef and his team in the kitchen - Know how to produce 5 star dishes and deserve a Michelin Star or Two! Back of scenes staff are so friendly and respectful. They also have a commitment to excellence I appreciate. Thank you 😊 The Room - luxurious, relaxing, beyond welcoming and included great Lux bathroom and products. I will recommend the Ellen Hotel in Port Pirie as a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ experience - it's not just a hotel! Thanks for my experience and I will see you again soon!

What an absolute gem! I could not believe my eyes when I stepped into this chic little hotel, it would be quite at home in any capital city CBD. The excellent service began when I rang to make my booking. This continued throughout our stay, from check in, to dinner, to check out. The hotel is in a quiet spot, with the Aqua Studio overlooking the wharf with a magnificent view out to the Flinders Ranges. The rooms were beautifully appointed, a very comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom and complimentary water. The rooms are also only accessible from the inside, which would provide a good sense of security for those travelling solo. The food is outstanding . My son and I shared the Prawn and Salmon Chirashizushi, which is a DIY sushi which was fun, fresh and delicious. We then both enjoyed the Deep Sea Delicacy, which was fresh perch -yum!. The staff in the restaurant were also very professional, but with that country hospitality touch. They also wore very smart, unique uniforms. I have been fortunate to stay in a variety of hotels and honestly could not fault The Ellen .

Lovely place to stay. Hotel was immaculate, clean and really well appointed rooms. Felt very high specification. Great welcome from new owner who made us feel incredibly welcome. Really worked for us and great, central location. Highly recommended.

Restaurant was fab, beautifully presented for fine dining. Surprised only two staff waiting in us. Both were excellent. Our waitresses was so good at her job and made us so welcome. Then there was the food, it was delicious. Highly recommended.

Fabulous hotel - exceptionally well appointed and absolutely fantastic and friendly staff. Normally we stay with family when visiting Port Pirie, so the calibre and opulence of this hotel were indeed a pleasant surprise. We will be back!

Get ready for crisp linen table cloths., excellent service and devine food. I have stayed here 4 times in the past 3 years and the new owners have really steeped it up a notch. Th e welcome was flawless and check in quick and efficient. All the rooms are great with comfy beds and signature touches. For a special treat, book a luxe suite. The little court yard and steam shower are a must for you stay. For the restaurant I was similarly impressed with the food offering fantastic utilising locally sourced ingredients and a good variety. You know you are in for a treat when they reset the tables after each table leaves with white gloves! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend!
