Not recommended
Noisy - heavy traffic from moss vale road. Cannot sleep. Possum jumping onto roof. So even when we did achieve the prayed for sleep we were awakened abruptly. Toilet is windowless and lacks a fan to extract air,
The romance Hides the basic character of the place. We left two days when we had booked for 4 days. Trying to get some of our money back through consumer affairs.

stay at St Eloi
This is a cozy property with a really lovely feel and decor. In the lead up to the stay, communication could have been better. We had arrived early, but we really couldn't check in any earlier and we only knew this very close to the check in time, so I feel that communication could have been just a little better. Having said that, on arrival the hosts were really lovely. Location is lovely, although I wasn't a fan of the road noise at the back.
It was a positive that they had added the wall heaters as the other sources of heating were fairly ineffectual. This is just honest feedback, but I am very positive about the stay, I would probably book again.
Enjoyed our stay. Charming and beautifully appointed Great location proximity to Bowral and other attractions.Pete was very welcoming at arrival.Will certainly visit again
Was as the photos suggested
Hosts were great and on site but out of sight
Close to town
Warm and cosy
Great for a couples weekend away

The Studio
I enjoyed myself and it gave me a great opportunity to think and plan for the next phase of my life. I appreciated the privacy given to me by the hosts and if I do become a fanous novelist this is the place I will think of to get work done.

Southern Sojourn
Wow!
What a magical place. We truly felt like we were in the French countryside.
Met by Pete on arrival who helped to settle us in . Both Pete and Shelly were very accommodating and on hand if we needed to ask anything during our stay.
We spent 3 nights at Saint Elois and didn’t want to leave. The comfiest bed ever; loved soaking in the bath with the romantic ambience of candlelight and French music playing on the cd. Lots of quaint little touches throughout.
The perfect romantic getaway! 💕
Perhaps the bath when compared to a shower, but we loved it for our weekend getaway!
Le Studio made a perfect setting for a proposal! To which she had no hesitation in saying yes!
Thanks again
