This place was one of the best in our 33 days Australian road trip, the place was so charming, clean and full of character. We stayed in two rooms and both were fantastic, highly recommended!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Location is great; room was clean. But the house is tired looking and requires some TLC. Bedside tables were very unstable. Charm only lasts so long, chairs were covered with sheets vs proper slipcovers.
Internet was unreliable.
While the rooms were clean and tidy, the room we stayed in, The White room could do with a lick of paint and the carpet re stretched for example. Michael was great at check in, and it was quiet and within walking distance of town.
Amazing historic house, beautiful inside and out. Was an experience staying and would happily stay again. Great location and plenty of things to see and do in the area.
Unique property dating back to late 1800’s combining very well original and modern features. We stayed in the “White Room” which was the size of our previous 2-3 accommodations put together where quality and cleanliness of the room could not be faulted. Very short walk to the town centre and one of the fascinating local sunken gardens. The town itself lacked a good variety of restaurants and many closed as both Sunday and Australia Day. The short drive to the Blue Lake and Umpherston Sinkhole more than made up for the culinary shortfalls of the area.
Wonderful historic property., would have enjoyed breakfast there but dining options close by within walking district. Friendly town and loved the ambience.
Very much enjoyed our stay. Location was excellent and close to main shopping and dining precincts. Room was extremely comfortable and clean. Overall location was very safe and quiet.
Agent met us on premises to give us keys.
You don’t really see anyone after that.
Really clean and has everything you need.
Well located

Strange property - we arrived to find a deserted house that we feared was abandoned! Then we got a text asking us to call when we were 39 mins away and someone would come to meet us - that would have been useful the day before! We were then greeted and given keys to the house and our room, which was lovely. You are very much on your own here but once we got used to that it was peaceful and comfortable. Our room had an amazing bathroom/spa in an extension that is bigger than many rooms. Would have been nice to have a few tables/chairs on the terrace at the front of the house as it is such a lovely spot.

Traditional property converted into rooms with ensuites. Friendly staff who met us upon arrival and explained everything we needed to know.
We were disappointed with the stay.
The potential for a personalised and charming experience, they need to adopt some of bigger hotel formats.
It was tired, the basin in the bathroom was blocked, and the internet kept dropping out. overal, unfortunately it was a little tired. worn.
The check-in process was straightforward, the room was clean and comfortable with all necessities. It was an easy walk to the eateries and shopping centre, will definitely stay here again next time we visit
Stayed 1 night but wish we’d stayed longer. The staff contacted us with checkin details and were met at the property with instructions and help provided by Michael. We stayed in the white room which was very spacious with French doors onto a veranda and a lovely bathroom. Comfortable bed and a 2 seater lounge. Restaurants and shops were a 2 minute walk away. Pity the breakfast wasn’t included as it would make it perfect.
