Property was easy to get to. Rooms are a bit dated but adds to the fun of the adventure. Kevin was a gem and super kind, fed us breakfast every morning and ensured we had a coffee or two before we took our next coffee on the go!

Full breakfast included was a bonus. Kevin is a friendly and helpful host. My room was at the front of the property so traffic noise was an issue for me. Very comfortable bed and crisp linens. Easy walk into town from this quirky and historic accommodation

Kevin is a fabulous host. Sitting around the cafe table in the morning with the other guests and Kevin and his breakfast was a highlight. The room is a very good size. It had everything we needed. Yes its old snd quite imperfect, but has charm. We enjoyed our stay. Try the Japanse Restraunt just around the corner, unbelievable good value.

The breakfast was excellent and the owner very flexible willing to provide it early. The facilities are well kept except missing some details like towel racks in the shared bathroom. The towels themselves need to be upgraded. Overall It’s still good value for the money.

Kevin is a wonderful host who makes a delightful breakfast. The rooms themselves are a good size however do smell a bit musty and the carpets have some stains. The bathroom facilities were good. The parking situation and the outside of the house are unkempt and look a little unsafe. The location is fantastic, literally up the road from the CBD so you can walk to local eateries for dinner.

The property was quaint, cozy, and walking distance to Salamanca and the CBD which was perfect. Rooms were cozy, and the shared bathroom was spacious, with amenities to use if needed such as shampoo and conditioner. Highlight of our stay was Kevin, who was incredibly cheerful and helpful, and made us feel so welcomed. I’ll recommend staying here for the experience alone!
