High on a hill with sweeping verandahs, gentle breezes and rainforest views. A beautiful B & B. Spotlessly clean with very comfy beds and a nice cosy feel.

Having to pay for WI FI is like 20 years ago.
A. B and B where breakfast is not supplied unless you let them know the day before and have to also pay extra is inconvenient?
Other than that a great property nice and quiet.

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.

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.

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.

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. ☺️
