What a lovely place with a delightful host. Great communication from Ting, the host and effortless checkin. Ting has a great knowledge of the area and will guide you through anything you need to know. The room is spotless with everything we needed. There’s a pod coffee machine as well. Towels are extra fluffy and there’s good quality shampoo and conditioner. We definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again.

Ting made sure each step of our reservation and stay went well for us we really appreciated her kindness and insight into the surroundings areas. Breakfast in the morning was just perfect plus she made extra bread for us to take on our journey that to Cradle Mountain which by the is spectacular hiking and wildlife adventure.

Comfortable stay
A warm welcome from Ting with useful info about where to eat. The ocean view room was just that. We were offered room service for our continental breakfast which was plentiful. Short walk to the seafront. I managed to leave my sunhat behind and Ting kindly agrred to post it on to friends in Perth, our last stop before we head back to London.

Loved the property. Owner was fantastic with communication. Our only disappointment was booking a spa suite and the spa having time of use restrictions of not being able to be used between 9pm and 9am. With a check out time of 10am we didn’t have time to even use it in the morning which wasnt the point of booking a spa suite in the first place.

You would describe this accommodation as a modern take on a guest house with high end finishes. Rooms are immaculate, but upstairs with no lift so if you have mobility problems it may be an issue. I would say generally for couples not families. The owner, Ting, couldn't be more helpful or obliging.
