Lovely room with a private sitting area immediately outside. Gardens were beautiful. Cathy was an attentive hostess who took an interest in us and added several extra touches to make our stay enjoyable. Numerous coffee choices were provided in our room. We appreciated the Australian port which she left for us when we arrived and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with home made jams the next morning. I loved the gift of a special soap she gave me when we left. All in all, we had a wonderful stay with a lovely hostess.

The owner Cathy was an exceptional host and really made it a very special stay for us. Cathy has thought about everything and more that you could need and even has treats in the room that really make you feel looked after.It’s the personal touches that make all the difference. Thanks Cathy!!

The owner, Cathy, is fabulous, very friendly and would bend over backwards to make the stay enjoyable. The room is clean and comfortable with a separate entry. Good sized bathroom. Little extras of chocolates, homemade cake and the best Anzac biscuits together with port is a fantastic touch. Breakfast in the main house was set out very nicely and could be eaten inside or on the verandah. It’s really the little touches like Sheridan towels and the above mentioned that make it stand out.

Cathy and Brian are wonderful but thoroughly unintrusive, hosts who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome at a 'home away from home'. The room is immaculate with a very comfortable bed, spotless, heated bathroom and little extras that one wouldn't expect. I have never arrived at an accommodation to find homemade chocolate treats in the fridge, and delicious homemade cookies, trail mix, a nice selection of tea and coffee and a small jug of port for laters. The room also has its own private entrance and undercover guest parking and a lovely deck to enjoy the breeze and the view. I, unfortunately didn't take advantage of what looked like a lovely breakfast spread in their comfortable dining room. It's easy to tell, from the obvious thought and their attention to detail, that Cathy and Brian take great pride in what they offer, as well they should. An exceptional offering and highest recommendation.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. It was clean, spacious and convenient with a beautiful continental breakfast. Cathy provides wonderful amenities in the self contained room with its own private access and parking. From her delicious home made cake and slice waiting for us, fresh milk and an abundance of teas and coffees to the port provided as a bonus, it was exceptional. It was the best value property we have ever stayed at. A really nice touch were the games and cards provided and we were able to make use of these sitting on the deck one evening having a wine.

Cathy was very welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable and the quiet location had amazing views. Cathy is well organised and she provided a beautifully prepared continental breakfast. To top it all off she added extra little treats in the room, such as chocolates and port. 😁
