Christine

The gourmet breakfast was a very pleasant surprise and delicious! We enjoyed coffee in the garden, and the location was quite convenient to the IronMan competiton that we were there for. Wendy was efficient, helpful, friendly and very capable = a great hostess - and TRULY one of those "good souls"!

We found this place near the ferry landing. The questions above should all have another rating higher than you list. Wendy was delightful, The property was full and we never saw another person. The room was #1 and the best there! We loved the ambiance and the wonderful breakfast was delivered to our door at exactly 0800!

Drew

The host, Wendy, was very friendly and welcoming. There was relaxing music playing at arrival, the room was ready and had both a mini fridge and a well stocked bathroom with extra towels and toiletries. There is a beautiful yard to relax in and a park with beach access about 250 metres down the road. Comfortable bed, satellite TV and desk area with booklets of things to see and do in the area. Breakfast was yummy with a fresh fruit compote, eggs, granola with yogurt and freshly baked croissants! Great conversations were had with other guests travelling from around the world. Lots of parking and on bus route.

- • Leisure trip

my room unfortunately backed to the Hwy so it was a little noisy...the toilet was very close to the sink in the bathroom (a little crowded)...the toilet seat was not properly cleaned and there was hair on the floor of the bathroom (a very clean bathroom is a must for my vacation stay)
The house was comfy and the inn keeper Wendy was very friendly and knowledgable...the room was complete with a fridge and microwave and dishes...the property had a lovely garden/sitting area to enjoy...you could walk across the street to get some beautiful ocean views...the continental breakfast was very delicious and I had it brought to my room in the morning as requested

“Disappointing.”

The house is definitely NOT by the sea it’s on the noisy busy main highway! Very noisy all night. Portable AC unit extremely noisy in our room. Bathroom was not that clean and there were remnants of previous guest toiletries left in a basket. An arbitrary 5% credit card fee was charged to the bill to be paid on arrival. We were asked to remove our shoes inside even though the carpet was already dirty, it needed vacuuming at the very least. Very disappointed
The breakfast was nice and well presented. Wendy gave us a good dinner recommendation.

“Shocked that she had such a "good rating" prior to our booking!”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
there wasn't any choice with the breakfast offered, although we did tell the "host" that Mike had dietary needs. She did offer "gluten free" bread but it was loaded with cream cheese ( which is dairy....and he also doesn't eat) and the bread was very stale and tasted like cardboard. She wanted only cash or cheque "up front" the minute we walked into our room. No "biggy" I had been forewarned and went to the bank before we arrived, but a little inconvenient that Credit Cards are only accepted if you are willing to pay extra for the "privilege". The room was at the back of the house and the busy highway is at the back of the property. So noisy traffic and the "sea" is not easily accessible. I was shocked at how dirty it was and very dated. The bed was comfortable but the sheets didn't fit the mattress and were at least from the 1970's! Very thin! The bathroom vent was full of cobwebs and the bathtub had "random hairs" in it plus old venetian blinds that were "rusty and dirty" The Bathroom supplies were insulting! A 3/4 used up piece of soap on top of an old hotel dispensary with only 2 compartments left in it with some random shampoo and cream rinse in it. Thank goodness I had brought my own stuff!
It was central to the area where the "business course" we were taking was. A beautiful garden but it wasn't offered or accessible to us while we were there.

There were a number of stairs both in/out. It was a beautiful staircase inside, however we had a heavy suitcase which was a problem. Wendy was gracious and assisted my husband to carry it upstairs.
