It was ok. Clean but the carpet was shabby and the sewer was blocked so we could not use the toilet!
We contacted the owner thinking that there could have been some compensation but there was no reply. A bit of a shame.

This is a nice old house with a lovely garden and wrap-around verandahs extending around most rooms. But it is difficult to feel like a guest when there is no host on site - only other visitors. (Room keys are accessed through coded lock boxes.) This wouldn’t be so much a problem, except when breakfast supplies in the small kitchenette are depleted by 7am, there is no prospect of them being replenished quickly. I imagine that ‘guests’ would normally eat their self-serve continental breakfast at a table on the verandah overlooking the lovely garden; however in winter with the temperature close to freezing, the only option is to sit on your bed. There is no indoor dining space.

Great place to stay, cosy room with a lovely view of the gardens. Room was very comfortable with great heating and a very comfy bed. Coffe/tea making was well stocked. Located close to the centre of town making it an easy walking. We will definitely be back.

Beautifully appointed rooms. At first glance it appeared a longish walk to restaurants and cafes, but in fact walking on highway was well lit and almost flat. Too cold to sit outside for breakfast in August, but lovely garden area, which would be delightful in warmer months. Easy parking.
