The WOTIF booking confirmation stated "The front desk is open daily from 10:00 AM - 10 PM" so I was shocked to be berated for being late on my arrival. While I had stated I would be there at 3pm, there were a number of delays during my trip. I did not appreciate the way I was spoken to on arrival (maybe organise self check-in like every other self-managed property in the world). As well I was probably able to find the bathroom and see there was a bath. A compendium would be more appropriate to assist guests. The property calls itself a "Bed and Breakfast which according to definition includes breakfast. It was one of the reasons I chose that property however the breakfast was only included for an extra payment. I consider that this is a "bait-and-switch" strategy and very misleading. I left without breakfast!!! The internet is not useable and I was unable to manage my emails/do anything on the net while at the property. There is no TV in the room. The room I stayed in was too small for 2 people. The door to the bathroom does not close so not much privacy if you are sharing with another person. I was told there is something wrong with the shower and I decided to take a bath. The blind to the bedroom closes but is almost impossible to open. During my stay I found the noise from other people who were staying to be quite loud esp in the room above me. Caroline did respond quickly and then the house was very pleasant. Overall it was expensive and poor value at $189.80.

Caroline and Robert made us very welcome. The property is so beautiful and quiet, away from suburban noise, but close enough to get to sporting facilities etc easily. We loved retreating there after busy, noisy days. I appreciated the guest lounge/kitchen area and being able to prepare packed lunches for my kids or play board games. The abundant bird life was beautiful. Finally, having French breakfasts complete with homemade jams and sauces was divine. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The property was just so great for relaxing. Many diverse areas in and around the house and property to sit and chill or common areas to meet new people. Bed was so comfortable. Caroline and Robert are lovely hosts. Suggestion: send kids of to bed and pay the extra for the french (candlelight) dinner Robert prepares, don't forget to bring your own favourite bottle of wine. Robert a french chef loves to talk you through the meal preparation. Breakfasts are beautifully prepared and ample. We had no need to head out anywhere for the day, just relaxed around the pool, short walks and lounge around, perfect place to get away and chill. Thank you Caroline and Robert for a lovely weekend, we will be back.
