The owner was very friendly and easy going. The location is excellent. Not in the busy centre but only a few minutes walk away. The view from our room was lovely. The only noise was a pair of Kookaburras!

Very nice

We were very impressed as the manager rang us to ask when we would be arriving and gave us the choice of an upstairs or down stairs room. I said we would be there in 5 minutes and he said we could book in early and that the rooms were ready and we had a look at the rooms and we picked the one we liked best. We had the upstairs room and had a nice view.

It was clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. There was just one problem: a foul stench when we entered the room. It was especially pronounced at the entrance. The door to our room as well as the next one were wide open in a clear attempt to air them. It seems that it was just those two rooms because our friends, staying a few doors down from us, didn't have the problem.
