It was wonderful having a LR to relax in and then go upstairs to bed. Dawn was amazing and made us muffins, pancakes and a yummy fruit mixture to top our pancakes. It is a very homey place and yard has all kinds of beautiful flowers.

    Quirky accommodation with excellent breakfast provided. Lovely friendly host and very convenient for the town and seeing the blue penguins. Lots of hot water for showers. Being an old house, en- suites are a bonus. Clean bedding and off road parking. Lots of old pictures and ornaments around the house so if you need clean lines and minimalistic b and b's this wouldn't suit you. But if you like character, then this may be a place for you. Some musty smell from all the wood in this house to be expected.

    Everything! We had a very large and luxe delightful room and ensuite with all the comforts required in a private and quiet part of this beautiful home. Even better were the two hosts - they made us feel special and looked after us so well for which we are immensely grateful and already cherish our memories there. From a very generous breakfast served to the dining table, to advice on local activities and roads to take on travels, the couple were the perfect people to run a B and B- thank you! Oh, and the home bake served daily was amazing!
