"I stayed for 16 night in the 3 bedroom house. Very comfortable and clean. Would highly rate the stay. A couple of things not working but let staff know, at end of my stay. Wasn't urgent to mention as it didn't have any impact on my stay. Only consideration I would mention is to supply better cookware, eg: saucepan set. The other facilities were excellent, crockery, cutlery, microwave, kettle, glassware. All good and clean. Loved having a lock up garage for security. Quiet location."
"Nice old hotel, unfortunately the beautiful balconies are not safe for guests. The first room we were offered had a strong smell of cleaning products and the windows didn’t open. However the helpful staff provided a different room which was very comfortable."
"Rooms were huge, lovely bath in bathroom as well.
But the man at the reception was amazing. Had alot of information about places to see and recomendations and even went out of his way to get more for us.
Would def recommend this place"
"We were blown away by our stay in this wonderful property. It is small boutique hotel which has been immaculately restored by the owners. We had a suite consisting of a bedroom, bathroom and sitting room. It was well equipped, warm and comfortable.
We had dinner and breakfast at the adjacent Commodore Hotel and the food was very good. This is one of the best places we have stayed in on our Australia trip."
