There was no one to greet us at ~5.30pm. Front door couldn't be locked for the evening. Instructions regarding the front door were not correct. I could not recommend this property to anyone.

Very homely. Beautiful to sit out on balcony at sunset. So convenient to have the restaurant downstairs for casual dining. Sally was so easy to deal with, allowing us to check in early. Thank you!! Have stayed several times before, and will stay again. Home away from home.

Bedroom comfortable. Ladies bathroom facilities excellent, male facilities less impressive. Very noisy. Kitchen staff and patrons. Other guests extremely noisy, but management responded quickly and responsibly. Excellent location. Parking provided, parked and didn’t use car again until departure. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant, affordable stay, in a great location. Inconveniences were acceptable.

didn’t see a soul the whole time we were there and even when we got locked out of the room and had to get in through a small gap in a window I still couldn’t find anyone. There was one guy who I sighted briefly at the end of a corridor who perhaps was living there but he didn’t smoke or say hello just looked at me like I was an intruder! Very weird place.

I liked the charm of the old building and the price of the room. What I didn’t like was - 1. Nobody to welcome us at checkin, just a text message with our room number and key 2. No comfortable lounge area that you would expect in a guest house 3. No water pressure in the female shower 4. None working smoke alarm in room 5. My husband said hello to a gentleman, not sure who he was but we think he may have been the owner. He did not introduce himself nor did he ask who we were * I suppose you get what you pay for but I would have expected more

While the building has character, everything is in need of a refresh, especially the men's bathroom. I am happy to share bathroom facilities, but didn't realise it was a shared bathroom between many rooms. One toilet and a shower is not sufficient for the amount of guests staying. Room was clean, but the bed was very wonky.

Upon check in, Sally the owner was there to greet us with warm & genuine enthusiasm. The rooms were large and spacious although a ceiling fan would’ve been great. The female shared bathroom were huge and recently renovated. Beds had mattress topper & I slept like a baby even in the 32 degree night. Has a cafe & restaurant with delicious offerings with avail to do room service. Even had carafes of fresh water on the landing for guests & small kitchenette if u wanted to use.right in the heart of town within walking distance to beach, jetty and rail. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, Kim barcellona

Great position but terrible room - boiling hot night with only a fan to cool room. Whilst appreciating its heritage listing, this room is not fit to rent out in its current form - also badly overpriced.
