We were downstairs in the Ulysses Room which was a beautifully finished but dark with absolutely no views. The large large double entrance doors at the foot of the bed were unusual. There appears to be little or no noise insulation from the wooden floors above, allowing noise from movement of guests above.

I’d book this accommodation again.
We were happy with our choice of room. The rooms were clean and fresh. The only fault I had was the shower head needs attention and a warm blanket would of been helpful as it was cold. The small quilt would of been for a single bed not a the king bed. ☺️

Gorgeous surroundings, check in instructions were clear but impersonal. Bed was comfy and shower has great water pressure. There was a rising damp smell in our room unfortunately - possibly due to the amount of rain the area has had lately, but could do with a good airing/drying out. Shared kitchen facilities were good and well organised.

There were a few little things that made our stay less than ideal. No air con in the bedroom, decor was very plain, shower head was pretty lame, no wifi unless you pay extra and most windows don't have fly screens. The view from the verandah could be alot better, but instead you just have a wall of trees mostly, and out to one side you look out over the water tanks with a little pocket of view in the distance. The laundry is coin operated, which is just annoying, and you are not supposed to use it from 9-11am, which is inconvenient.

The property was perfect for our big family, big bedrooms with plenty of bathrooms, lovely big verandah with outdoor tables and chairs. Living areas were roomy too. The couple of negatives for our stay were that we had to supply bath towels, the ventilation was poor, having to force windows open for fresh air, and the air-conditioning was unfortunately not working in the lounge area. One other negative was the laundry was only coin operated, which was tricky with young children and staying a week. Otherwise it was a perfect house for our stay. Staff were very nice and helpful when we contacted them about a couple of issues. Thankyou for having us, we did have a lovely visit.

Your venue was advertised as a bed and breakfast. But there was no breakfast, and when we called you, you did not respond. The beds were too soft. Overall, just an average experience, but a lot of disappointments.

This is not a B and B facility, no breakfast was provided, although Cont Breakfast could be provided for extra fee!! From the location and setting it appeared the stay would be nice and quiet. However the room was lower level with wooden floors above where other guests were quite noisy walking around all night and very early morning. Downstairs facilities were very good though. Other rooms had to share kitchen and lounge facilities, hence the continued noise. Would not stay again, have booked elsewhere for return trip.

Not quite what I expected. Was in great condition. But room was Spartan. One straight back wooden chair. A bed. Two bedside tables. That’s it. No seat to work at a bench table. No where to place my suitcase except the floor. Very small tv up in a corner. Hard to watch from bed without twisting my degenerate neck…communal areas the only place to try do some computer work. Not ideal. I would not stay here again. Cold. I was so cold. No heater. I slept in my clothes. Thin blanket doubled over me.

Booked a B&B as a 2 bed apartment for me and a business partner while travelling for work. We got in late-ish and light was fading but had received a link to get a key. Great so far. The address Google took us to on the street didn't really make sense so I checked the map, saw the pin and drove to that. Got there, parked, saw the key machine, typed in the code... no key. Tried a bunch of times... no key. Called a number another guest gave us who had similar problems, got through on the second try and turns out we were at the wrong property. Embarrassing. Eventually got to the right place. It was now proper dark, one light came on when we drove up but that was it. The house map is drawn the wrong way around making it more confusing in the dark, we finally get in the door, still dark and no sensor lights, use phone lights to find light switches. The layout was confusing, we didn't know if we had one or two bedrooms but the "two bedroom apartment" we'd booked had 3 other bedroom doors. So, it's not a 2 bedroom apartment at all, it's a share house. And, another guest was staying the same time as us, on the same level. Odd. All that aside. Inside is ok enough, the layout is just weird. The TV in the lounge room is 6 feet off the ground with a tall cabinet under it. They expect you to pay for wifi (hello 2003, this is 2023 calling). Wifi is like electricity, its just expected free everywhere. All in all, it's odd but ok if you know you're sharing.
