Great value for short stay

1 bedroom apartment was good for Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids but unfortunately sofa bed in the lounge Room is broken and terrible to sleep on. Needs to be replaced asap. Amenities were good and everything you need for a night away. Breakfast was good and something for everyone. Overall great value

Gorgeous property with boutique accommodation, awesome service, afternoon cocktails and continental breakfast. It’s like a retreat in the middle of town. We had a queen room and it was roomy, huge tv, you can order a platter if you wanted too. Really loved staying here.

Window, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The toilet seat cover would not stay upright. The Toilet seat did not fit the toilet bowl. In addition the toilet bowl had a crack. This defect itself spoilt the overall ambiance of the room. Would have preferred to have had a small built in robe/ cupboard.

4/10 Fair

No contact with staff - no reception office. All transaction done by phone or online. Building and public areas in terrible condition. Room was very drab and in a poor state. Overpriced for what was on offer. Two nights of hell. BEWARE.

Good Location

Good location. The room had a passcode which took a bit getting used to. There was a continental breakfast included but we choose the eat out instead as we eat breakfast earlier that the times on offer
Monica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel with strong historic charm. Bairnsdale was a small but surprisingly charming little town. We had technical difficulties checking in as we were never sent the access codes and instruction. The entire hotel seemed to be run by only one exceptionally hard working staff member, but she was very friendly and helpful.
