Pleasant stay. Rooms aren't huge, but totally functional. No issues. Check-in information could've been a bit clearer.. I had to call to find out. Maybe a welcome text would've been better a few days before to confirm times etc.

No wi fi no air con no microwave no water views the place had a musty smell noisy fridge ran all night the hot water in the shower took forever to get hot off milk in fridge the place was dusty false advertising they advertised that a spa was available but because of COVID it wasn’t available so there was no price reduction because of this paying $200 a night was a rip off to say the least and we will never stay there again and we will be telling as many people as we can to not stay there also we felt uncomfortable while they stood over you while you ate your breakfast

Sorry we couldn't make your holiday more pleasant We only offer GLIMPSES of the ocean from the Queen rooms You could have used the table on the deck in front of the house - there are water views from that. I am sorry but we do not advertise a microwave in the Queen room but if you wanted something warmed up we would be pleased to help If you were having problems with the air conditioner you should have said something we would have tried to help The water is not out of a tank and takes a bit of time to get hot but there is plenty of it when it when it gets hot We are very sorry but at the moment unless you want a Marshall with you while the outside spa on the deck we are not operating But we do offer you this if you are happy to have someone be with you while you are in We will arrange for a Marshall to be there with you We are very sorry but at the moment everything is very stressful because of Covid 19 and there are a lot of rules to keep you safe

Location!
Owners kind (gave me a book to take home) and breakfast amazingly good. We did not have to do any washing up of the plates and cutlery used for other meals (restaurants had just been closed). Location near beach, and shops a short walk away. But towels needed to be bleached, and the room was a bit tired.

Room needed to be aired out. No air circulation through the room. I wouldn’t stay there again as the room was too expensive for what you get. I would’ve been more comfortable in a local motel for half the price

Overall is a good experience. Bottle water that was included turned out to be tap water in glass bottle. The feeling that the owners of the house are always around is little bit uncomfortable.

Excellent location opposite the beach!
The only think we love is the location and very convenience, the washing machine and dryer are very old and dryer didn’t work when we need it, the frying pan were not in good condition,almost the cooking utensils are very old ,in the bedroom also the same, the linen and blankets are very old condition. Somehow we also cannot use our mobile data, the signal were poor inside the apartment, we need to go outside further to get the signal.

Lavendar House
The owners of Lavendar House were very lovely. For an advertised luxury b an b we were a bit diddapointed that there was no air conditioning in the room, there were ceiling fans however having lived on the coast all my life it is humid and ceiling fans do not alleviate the hunidiitiy. For what u r paying for a room we though air conditioning would be a must. I feel the tarring could have been under the $200 mark for the room - although very clean and old fashioned it did feel like staying at a relatives house as it was a bedroom with a very very tiny ensuite. Beside this it was a lovely stay.

Nice place to stay, but dont ask for wifi
Stayed for one night. Very freindly owners. Nice breakfast. Was a bit dissapointed by the owners comment in the hotel's book in the rooms. We needed WIFI to book our next nights hotel as we had been travelling up coast. Disapointing to be told 'DONT ASK FOR WIFI, TALK TO EACH OTHER' !!

Nice relaxing location to get away from it all
Rooms were a decent size to relax in, and although they appeared to lack the latest fixings you would expect in a city hotel - for a B&B it has surpassed my expectations. The hosts were spectacular, and the breakfasts tasty. They certainly gave me the home away from home experience without being intrusive.
