Nothing could be improved on! The perfect place to stay. Clean, quiet with all amenities, wonderful rooms, great history, lovely hosts and a first class breakfast. Yes it is a 30 min drive from The Great Ocean Road, but the drive is easy and lovely. Make the effort and stay here, you will not regret it.

Absolutely unique. Beautiful, comfy bed. Antique everything with modern bathroom. Nice big bath. Cosy nook upstairs via spiral staircase.
Caring couple hosting. Breakfast was best on trip. So many choices perfectly prepared!
This is an extraordinary property! Best I have every stayed in. Perfection!!!
Fantastic heritage/luxury B&B. Alfred Suite 1 was amazing and worth the extra cost. Beautiful gardens. Large verandah perfect for enjoying one of the local wines in the evening. Andrew did an amazing job with a wood fired pizza. Great way to relax after the crowds of the Great Ocean Road.
Unique experience in a house full of interesting history. Exceptionally clean with lovely additions like soft bath robes and bath salts. The hosts were friendly and efficient in their service and breakfast was yummy. Adding Chromecast to the TV would be a nice touch but the hosts have a selection of DVDs that can be borrowed. Some LED candles did not work but did not detract from the overall experience.
We had lovely weather driving up. This was an overnight stay for our Great Ocean Rd two day trip. It looked lovely on the pictures, but it is so much better. It is not only luxury accommodation but super clean, swiss level! They pay attention to little things, going the extra mile to, putting the x in lux. Breakfast was great with lovely music and with a lovely view of the garden.
Such a beautiful historic building. Unfortunately we checked in late and left early but would have loved to have more time to enjoy this property. Hope to return in the future.
