An absolute country gem that looks and feels a world away. Comfortable and uncomplicated. Re-defines 'well situated' - you can't get much closer to the main events in Tilba than this.

The room that we booked online (with a balcony) was not what we ended up with. Two of the three rooms were in the middle of renovation and uninhabitable. The advertised full breakfast ended up being self serve granola and toast (with a muffin) the supplied butter was two months out of date. The issue we have is that none of this was pre-warned or explained while booking, we were offered no discount either. This place would be great IF it was “as advertised” Very disappointed.

Linda and Ken were incredibly accomodating and welcoming during our stay at the Two Story. The rooms were well furnished and very cozy, and Linda gave us a wonderful rundown of all there was to do in Tilba as well as providing a delicious and flexible breakfast menu. Highly recommended!

The B&B was lovely and quaint. We enjoyed the nice village of Central Tilba. The people were delightful, even though we weren’t able to meet the owners. The furnishing were cute and the decor was enchanting. The only two things we would have liked to change; the mattress needs to be replaced and the covering were getting a bit tired and needs updating. We would definitely come back and look forward to our next visit.

Historic Village Accommodation modern day service
Ken and Linda make you feel like you've just come home, although watch out for Ken's gorilla-like grip when shaking hands. Two Story B and B is exactly what you want when you're looking for warmth, charm, service, and price. We absolutely loved this charming little place with its homely charm, the narrow staircase which makes you feel like stepping back in time. Breakfast was served in a way that was homey but not in your face along with an introduction to the family dog, Bridey.

The B&B is in keeping with the quaint, historic feel of the town, although it is showing its age a bit e.g. the lights take a moment to switch on and there wasn't enough hot water for our morning showers. Linda was cheerful and welcoming and made us a nice breakfast.

A delightful place to stay. The owners were friendly and helpful and the room was filled with lots of thoughtful little touches. We ate at the Dromedary Hotel (the food and beer were good). This night was the highlight of our holiday and we would thoroughly recommend staying at Two Story.

Gorgeous area but B&B not recommended
The room was grubby and dusty, uncomfortable bed and pillows. A carafe of water had brown sediment in the bottom- clearly hadn’t been changed for some time. Thin walls so the conversation of the guests in the next room was audible. Breakfast very disappointing- rubbery eggs and crispy toast which appeared to have been cooked sometime earlier and kept in the oven to warm. The hosts were friendly but the overall experience was not enjoyable.

Away from the hustle and bustle of city life!
What an absolutely fantastic place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The owners are very welcoming to this unique B&B in a historical town. Private Parking is available which is a must in busy periods as the town can is packed with visitors. Room size is very adequate with own bathroom, access to the 2nd story balcony, shared lounge area and access to fully equipped kitchen. Breakfast if fantastic with the option of continental or cooked and fantastic latte or tea! Close to Bermagui, Narooma and Mystery Bay.

Uncomfortable
Started off ok as eventhough the room was small for the three of us and the ensuite was rediculously small (could not sit on toilet with door closed as legs would be cramped and basin too tiny for shaving), the large bathroom upstairs with bath looked inviting. However, was promptly told it was the sole bathroom for another room occupied by only 2 guests (max). We were cold. Ken was friendly but we were scared of Linda. Not comfortable!!

A surprise stopover
A great stopover on the Pacific Highway. The town is so interesting and the pub up the road serves delicious basic meals shared with some characters. Our room was comfortable , no television but one down stairs for guests. Service was great and breakfast was beautifully served.

Plenty of charm but a little overpriced
A little too expensive in our opinion. The bed wasn't comfortable and the hot water wasn't very hot. The building is extremely old but it is very well looked-after. The rooms were a little noisy. We woke early because we could hear people talking downstairs. But if you're seeking accommodation with character then this is a good choice.

Es ist ein liebevolles, gepflegtes B&Bim Nirgendwo. Einzige Unterhaltung und Chance zum Dinner ist der Pub im Hotel des Ortes, wo man sehr gutes Bier trinken kann und mit "Wildfremden", sowohl Einheimischen als auch Touristen, unterhaltsame Gespräche führen kann.
