とても親切にしていただきました。一人での利用でしたが、広く快適でした。トイレやバスルームは共用ですので、そこが気にならない方はお勧めします。

Had a 2n stay here about 10 min easy drive to the CBD. Room was a bit dated and cramped but clean. There are rooms in main house but didn't see them. Very good breakfast served by Chet and Steve who are very good hosts. Quiet neighbourhood with a great Thai/Viet restaurant 5 mins away called Zaffron.

Very good place to stay, nice and quiet with friendly staff. They went out and bought some Weetbix for me, as I could not eat nut based cereals. Gone the extra, nice grounds and the guys were great hosts. Safe location as well. Some features a bit dated though, no USB points in the building and the bed was wire sprung and quite uncomfortable. But these are minor affluenza based complaints. Room size was really generous and private, sunny and nice couches and sitting area. The price was attractive too and nice grounds, a lot of friendly felines drop by too. Great for solo travellers, couples and tourists. However if you have tech savvy types, probably not the best place.

The house has a retro feel to it, which was fun but it was old, bed wasn’t too comfortable.

A quirky little place, very comfortable, did not get chance to try the breakfast owing to an early departure, but fruit, yoghurt and cereals left out for us
