Just about everything. Brilliant host & staff. what a pleasure.

Timothy Australia

historic house, spacious rooms, beautiful furniture, lush garden, relaxed breakfast, friendly hosts.

Susan Australia

A comfortable boutique hotel, or homestead. The managers Marilyn and Ronaldo are the perfect hosts- knowledgeable, caring and yet unobtrusive. The location is great, close to the one bus in town allowing ease of access to the area. Great too, to be near town beach.

Healy Australia

comfortable and relaxing place with beautiful ambience. Welcoming and friendly staff who cooked a lovely and varied breakfast each day.

Vivienne Australia

the breakfast was generous and assorted a lovely pleasant atmosphere

Tony Australia

Incredible - home cooked style breakfast. Wonderful staff who went the extra mile in being helpful. Super clean and comfy. Great pool and gardens. Great bed and sheets - fantastic bathroom. Loads of places to relax in comfort.

Ian Australia

Marilyn & Rinaldo were so welcoming and accommodating. The breakfasts were delicious - a selection of teas, cereals, warm sough dough and a daily yogurt/fruit/muesli cup, together with fresh coffee and a hot breakfast which was freshly cooked and changed each day. Lovely to share travel stories at breakfast with other guests. The ambience and history of the place is wonderful. Couldn't have stayed anywhere better. Loved the small boutique feel. We stayed in the 2 upstairs library rooms (travelling as 2 couples) and loved having the balcony area to ourselves to have our arvo drinks on.

Greer Australia

Breakfast was terrific Ronald was an excellent host and help.

Carol Australia

Loved the ambience of the old style building and reading on the verandah. Wonderful breakfast with espresso coffee and selection of teas. Ronaldo makes a tasty omlette.

Elizabeth Australia
