A lovely place to stay.

This is a delightful place to stay, ideally for people looking to spend several days in Bairnsdale. It's within walking distance of the main street & the Mitchell river; and it's quiet. Andrea & Keith are very attentive & welcoming hosts.

A wonderful place!!!

What a delightful stay! Our only regret is that we stayed only one night. Keith and Andrea are wonderful hosts for their unique and wonderful B&B. The location is perfect for walking into town and there are many great things to see and do within a short drive. A few nights here couldn’t possibly disappoint.

The place was immaculate with lovely gardens. We were not warned that our unit would be an attic one with quite a few steps. For 81-year-old couple it cause a couple of falls. In the evening coming back from dinner, the walkways were insufficiently provided with clear railings. Finally, the very soft pillows were not conducive to good sleep. Yes, we could have brought our own pillows - if we had been warned.

Dalfruin is a wonderfully relaxing and beautiful place to stay. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and the rooms are tastefully decorated, spacious and very comfortable. Little touches such as sweets, fruit, pod coffee and some port for a nightcap were much appreciated. The range of foods for breakfast in your own room was also excellent. A highly recommended place to stay.

Unterkunft mit viel Liebe und Charme

Das B&B ist für einen Besuch im Wilsons Promotory N.P. super gelegen. Meine Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben die Unterkunft mit viel Liebe und einem besonderen Charme hergerichtet. Ich habe mich dort sehr wohlgefühlt.
