- andrew (6/5): OK - Room was comfortable, only there for the night. did not use any other facilities. Did leave my pillow there when I went to collect it, it had been used by next guest and pillow case and protector was missing. Perhaps Better Lost and found proccedure could be implimented
- Peter (7/5): -
- Gavin (8/5): - was alittle noisy from room next door, there was no extractor fan in bathroom.
- Maisie (5/5): Would come again- comfortable stay - The lady on front desk was very friendly and accommodating, giving us rooms closest to bathrooms. The rooms were basic but reflected the price paid. Beds were extremely comfortable. Situated in a lovely area and the grounds of the hotel were nice. Quite noisy from ground floor- could hear upstairs foot traffic
- Donna (2/5): Watch out for the bugs - Interesting old house.
Nice staff member greeted me once some one went and got her I woke in the morning and found a number of bites on my body.
In a line across my left hip and left side of ribs.
I took photos.
On check out there was no one available to discuss this with.
More "bites: appeared over the next 2 -3 days and they were itchy and painfully. A sort of burning pain.
Hard to describe.
According to Google and my g.p.- likely bed bugs.
I called the hotel with no luck.
I then emailed them with my concerns along with photos.
I am still waiting for a response.
I stayed in Room 20.
I had noticed a sort of brown/reddish stain on the top sheet as well but failed to take a photo of it as I didn't understand the significance at the time.
The room also smelt 'odd" Sort of sweet musty scent I couldn't identify.
I tried opening the window to vent the smell but the fly screen doesn't fit properly and I couldn't fix it, so was forced to shut the window..
And there were quite a few spider webs in the window itself.
So bed bugs or spider bites???
Either way.
Painful and ridiculously itchy
- Tiffany (4/5): - The location is great, the garden and trees are beautiful We purchased a twin room (three beds in total) which advertised a share bathroom. It wasn't clear that this meant sharing a bathroom with the entire hotel.
I'd also paid extra for a car park only to arrive home on evening and there are no spaces for me. Staff told me to park on top of a pathway as a fix.
- Michael (8/5): Overall quite good - Friendly staff, large room, handy location, easy parking. As the building is about 130 years old it was a little musty and the floors creak. It’s a mix of rooms with private bathrooms and some shared bathrooms. You can hear people walking up and down the hallway accessing the bathroom at night.
- Tharindu (9/5): -
- Signorile (2/5): - Proximity to beach and amenities Very runneddown strong smell of urine in corridors. Room not nice at all.more like a hostel
- Marie (9/5): Comfortable, location really handy. , really nice staff. - Room was clean and tidy. Really comfortable bed. Staff are always amazing and really helpful Nothing
- Helen (4/5): Disappointing - Food not provided, location was adequate Shower very weak, no breakfast, uncomfortable bed disappointed with room generally
- Peter (4/5): - Bed was the most uncomfortable we have ever experienced. Shower water pressure was very poor.
- Chen (7/5): Is good but sad - Lovey and Warmth Nah
- Brian (10/5): Relaxing - Quiet
- Anya (8/5): - Central location, 10 minute walk to the water, about 20 minutes walk to the bus station.
I almost never ran into anyone in the shared bathrooms and they were quite clean. Fridge and microwave and tea kettle in the room are very handy. AC works very lwell. Its a minor point, but the faucets are very close to the basin, which makes filling up water difficult. And the water dispenser was not always stocked.
- Nama (10/5): I enjoyed my stay - It’s quiet and nice Nothing
- Marion (7/5): Very easy and conveinent stay to attend Busselton running festival and jetty swim - Parking, common area for eating and meeting, location, beautiful building and grounds

The room was neat and clean, bed was comfortable ( a little soft compared to my own but still good) and the staff were pleasant. I had no issues at all. There wasn’t anything I disliked. I thought for the price and my selection of room personally I was happy with the stay.
- Pooja (8/5): Nice property - Clean, nice location close to busselton jetty, cafes and restaurants. I didn't like the aircon in my room it made weird noises in the night and make me awake.
- Lynette (8/5): Comfortable historic house in the heart of Busselton - The location, close by to shops, Busselton foreshore and jetty and Margaret River region.
Staff very helpful and reply to queries by phone if not at the desk Just a minor issue - couldn't use the freezer part of the fridge in our room as too much ice build up. Other than that good value for money for accommodation close to everything you need.

- Jasmine (10/5): Excellent motel - I loved it all
- Emily (6/5): -
- Benjamin (6/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): -
- Renea (2/5): Disappointed - Good location During our stay, we discovered a toothpick in our bed. This was unhygienic and concerning, and it caused us significant discomfort. Finding such an item in the bed raised serious concerns about the cleanliness standards of the room and affected our ability to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay.
The situation at the time, ultimately detracted from the overall experience we had expected.
We hope you will take this matter seriously and review your cleaning procedures to prevent this from happening again. We would appreciate your response regarding this as we have reached out via email however not had a response.
- Allan (8/5): -
- Leonard (7/5): - Nice location. 10mins walk to the jetty. Pretty building, colonial vibe foe sure. Clean. Interior a bit dated. Felt more like a histel. Could do with some investment.
- Robyn (9/5): Quite enjoyable and a unique house. - Staff were wonderful and the old house was a delight to stay in. Greeted with roses grown at the property picked from bushes that were nearly 100 years old. Kitchen facilities were adequate and the shared bathroom was clean. Facilities were a bit dated, but being in such a historic house meant it had character that showed through in some areas. Room was a bit cramped and the shared shower facilities a bit of a put off, but they were kept clean.

Das Bettzeug hatte Flecken.
War als froh ich endlich ausziehen konnte.
- David (3/5): -
- rona (1/5): Didn’t stay there as my booking was mucked up and they refused to help. I rang 4 times with no answer, sent emails and m - We didn’t stay there as when I rang the staff was incredibly rude and refused to help me with my booking. I would give them a minus 50 if I could! Disgusting! The rudeness and disgusting attitude of the staff on the phone who refused to help.
