Gorgeous property with boutique accommodation, awesome service, afternoon cocktails and continental breakfast. It’s like a retreat in the middle of town. We had a queen room and it was roomy, huge tv, you can order a platter if you wanted too. Really loved staying here.

Check in/out is digital with reception closed Being unable to access the main building directly from the out building was inconvenient. Digital door entry is problematic for some guests (I was woken overnight by a drunk couple yelling/swearing as they were unable to open the external door) Late complimentary breakfast on weekends which meant I was unable to partake due to timing of work commitments.

Ok, but overpriced and ver old
My review would have been much better, if the room rate and presentation was aligned with its actual condition. Pictures do not match the actual condition of the hotel. Maybe it did 30 years ago. But the place is very run down. I paid for a spacious room and cleaning was good taken the condition of the place into concern. But everything is old - incl. furniture which needed deep throughout cleans. There was a nice cleaning lady one of the days, who cleaned up my self inflicted messy room. That was nice of her. I wouldn’t have booked the hotel if I had read the reviews beforehand. I can only confirm.

Location was very good. Close to shops, Walk along the river. Disappointing that the restaurant was closed but we ate at the Thai around the corner. Very good. We always find that the bed is too hot with a doona. Blankets are not as convenient but a lot more comfortable

Lovely property but breakfast a bit disappointing- coffee machine broken which was only thing we wanted. Staff nice but bit inexperienced. No welcome area even though it’s a beautiful reception. Plus points were spa bath - great and properly is in great location. Try Cinnamon restaurant next door- fantastic
