Justin the owner was fantastic and so helpful! He recently purchased the property and plans to renovate in the low season. I think this will make an already great B&B even better. The only things I think were really missing were blackout curtains, the curtains were really flimsy and thin so we were up with the sun, and a daily housekeeping refresh. At this price point I expect to see the bed made and towels refreshed daily, so that was a bit of a let down. Room was large and clean, breakfast was...

Stayed one night and it was really comfortable. The decor is crazy and mismatched but quite sweet all the same, the property is old and has a creaky charm. Our room was a large triple aspect and very light and airy. Breakfast was adequate with tea coffee porridge yogurt fruit and scones. We ate at the restaurant across the street for dinner and that did good fish /seafood. Great location easy parking safe area. They took a $100 ‘bond’ but I’m still awaiting its return, hopefully soon.
