Clean linen and bathrooms. Quirky and overall a nice place. Little lamps for each bed were great.

Got the impression there it was a live-in hostel.

"Beautiful Building."

10.0

We like the decoration of the whole building that retains the decoration of the Victoria period, which is very beautiful! I also feel relax and happy here. Thank you.

It would be better if there was a bath mat in the toilet in the room.

"Erfrischender Aufenthalt etwas abseits des typischen Great Ocean Road Tourismus."

7.0

Die sehr guten Reiseinformationen wie z.B. zum Tower Hill Reservat. Alternatives Hostel, bunt ausgestattet, Blumen auch in den Zimmern. 5 Min zu Restaurants und Cafes. Erinnerte an Hostels vor 40-50 Jahren.
