The view from our room was absolutely stunning! The location was great, just a short drive or a 25 minute walk to the centre of Sassafras. Justin was very kind and knowledgeable about the area, and happy to give us ideas for local places to eat. We wish we didn’t have to leave at the end of our trip!

It’s a very nice and cozy place. Room is big, comfortable, warm and modern. Breakfast can be better and more options would add a great value but was enough for the 2 of us. Loved the experience in general and will come back for sure

We had such a wonderful stay at Belle Le Vie. The rooms were clean, well presented and had everything we could need. The spa bath was very relaxing. The gardens are beautifully kept and the host was extremely friendly and helpful. Wonderful bakery just down the road and only a short drive to some beautiful nature walks. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

We were welcomed by staff and were given a great run down about places to go and things to see as we are not frequent visitors to the mountains. We stayed in the Parisienne room. What a gorgeous place. We opened the door and the first thing that caught my eye was the full window with a view of the beautiful trees, & such a gorgeous sight to see first thing in the morning. The room was excellent, with generous amount of items for breakfast. The bath was amazing and great after a day of walks through the mountain trails. Love this place and would love to visit again.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and were lucky enough to stumble across a cottage at Belle Le Vie! Everything was perfect for a serene and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Everything was 5 star! Thank you to Justin for being a great host. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay again!

Long story short: loved it! Best detailed b&b room I’ve stayed in. The place was really well designed, super comfy and really did have a French feel to it. The croissants were excellent as was the fruit, but overall I think the breakfast was the only part that didn’t impress quite as much. It was still good though! Spa was excellent, comfy roomy and filled quickly, the bubble bath worked really well too. Cleanliness was almost impeccable- never seen a microwave / oven or cooktop so clean. Only letdown was the lamps above the bed were a quite dusty but overall exceptionally clean and tidy. Appliances and cookware all great quality.
