Notre chambre fut très spacieuse avec un grand lit très confortable. Tout est bien étudié pour faciliter la vie. Les couleurs sont harmonieuses N’avoir pas u plus de temps dans ce B&B
- Norm (10/5): - Andrea and Keith were the best hosts providing a warm and helpful welcome. We stayed in the upstairs apartment which had everything we needed and even more ! Breakfast provisions are provided including cereals, toast and eggs. The property as so much character and the gardens are a pleasure to explore. Would have liked to stay longer and explore more of Bairnsdale.
- christine (10/5): Lovely stay in Bairnsdale. - Hosts were lovely, and accommodations were great. Nothing.
- Martin (10/5): Gerne wieder in diesem angenehmen Ambiente! - Wunderbar dekoriert. Große Wohnung , Bad mit Badewanne, reichhaltiges Frühstück Alles war gut!
- Wilsonpatino (10/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): Great place of an overnight stay in Bairnsdale - Comfortable and spacious property in Bairnsdale, with beautifully presented gardens. Keith and Andrea were excellent hosts, providing advice on things to see in the Bairnsdale area and on where to eat. They also gave us a tour of their beautifully renovated heritage home. N/A

- Christine (8/5): It was a pleasant experience, so much nicer than a motel room. - We liked the location, easy distance to walk to the shops and local places to eat. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The gardens were cute and so much nicer than staying at a Motel. Our room was well appointed and comfortable. We went on the suggested walk from our host and went to the eateries that were suggested. We were glad that we chose this stay at Bairnsdale over Lakes Entrance as on our way out we went through this alternate location and found it so much more crowded and busier. I was expecting a proper Bed and Breakfast experience with a cooked breakfast rather than just having bread, eggs and all spreads available for us to cook. However, the food and drinks provide were sufficient.,
- Jessica (10/5): Beautiful house and even better hosts! - The location and house is amazing but the owners are truly excellent. What a beautiful stay. Overall everything was excellent. One of the towels had a stain, so I wasn’t sure if it was clean or just a stain, but otherwise everything was perfect.

- Penny (9/5): A Hidden Gem - Beautiful old fashioned house in a quiet location. I loved that it was quirky and individual, and the colourful decor in the room.The hosts were very generous with the unique little touches in the room I stayed in. For example aside from the food for a good breakfast the next morning, there were a few chocolates to have with a cup of tea, they provided extra swimming towels if you wanted to go swimming at the local pool, and more. I personally do not do well sleeping on or close to anything polyester or plastic. When I went to bed I quickly got over heated and discovered the mattress protector was plastic on the underside. I took it off for the night and ended up having a good sleep as the bed was quite comfy
