Love that everyone had their own ensuite/tv/bar fridge… no queuing up for the bathroom! Extremely spacious yet cosy. Great location short walk to town.
Very clean and comfortable guesthouse in great location and beautiful setting.
The location, garden views, the beautiful building, most comfortable bed and the staff efficiency 😊
the location was close to town with loverly views across the hinterland and byron would stay there again
Self check in instructions received 2 days before our stay looked daunting online but was remarkably easy in situ. My husband and I stayed inside the house while our travelling companions chose Cottage 2. Both rooms were large, tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Having access to the gorgeous lounge and large well equipped kitchen topped off our overnight stay. The garden and verandas added an extra dimension to our experience. We enjoyed the artwork throughout.
Suite 6 in the main house was very well appointed, beautiful linen and extremely comfortable bed, old world charm, high ceiling, fabulous rain shower and 2 comfy chairs to relax in overlooking the gardens and stream. Being in the main house was fine, with use of the well appointed kitchen and communal areas.
