Good bed, able to watch the World Cup on TV in the room. Breakfast was at 9 and we had to catch the water taxi; there were no grab and go breakfast items as indicated which would have helped our timeline. Steps and parking challenging for older adults.

Overall positive experience. Check in was a bit confusing as the sign upstairs said to check in at the cafe downstairs, but the cafe was closed and the sign downstairs said to check in upstairs. I loved the included full breakfast, but note that it’s only available after 9am. We left early the second day and checked out the utility room that we were told had some breakfast items for earlier departures, however it was completely empty of all food items so either a guest got greedy or maybe it hadn’t been restocked? The fridge and pantries were all empty. My dog was welcome at both the hotel and cafe, however he got spooked at the door of the room initially. We joked that it was probably haunted and he sensed something. Lovely place overall, just a few things to keep in mind.

The hotel was was quirky in a wonderful way with a lot of collectibles and antiques thoughtfully arranged around the property. Our bed was very comfortable. This is a personal preference, I did not enjoy checking in by using the ring camera. I felt like I was bothering the staff member. In our room, the coffee pods had been previously used improperly and the sugars and creamers were old. The amenities room was not very clean and did not have any coffee pods I could get instead of the ones in our room. Our breakfast in the hotel was delicious and our waitress was very kind.

I loved the history of the building and all of the antiques. The breakfasts were excellent. The only disappointment was that Room 4 was supposed to be set up for early risers like me. Breakfast starts at 9 and I am often awake by 5:30. Room 4 did not have fruit or muffins as noted on the hotel card in our room. In fact it was in complete disarray with only a kettle and a few tea bags. Also could use instructions for TV. All in all enjoyed the stay

Very disappointed! The bathroom was excellent though. Very old smell, bed had flies in and on the floor! Doors sure could use a paint job as well as the windows. There were no room darkening blinds unless you call roller shades that have seen a better day room darkening! Not!! The hall with all the old things was interesting!

Our room was beautiful and decorated with old-timey stuff, kinda like you're staying in an Edwardian grandma's guest room. AC was strong, water was hot and good pressure, bed comfy, Apple TV on the big-screen tv. Complimentary breakfast was excellent, both in taste and presentation, the best we'd had on the sunshine coast.

My wife and I stayed in the "Government Office" room #6 for a couple of nights. We found this found this room to be spacious and comfortable. The property had a ton of charm and character, as did the room, plus the diner was excellent for breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely look to book here again if we were coming to this town.

When we checked in we were notified that the power would be out the next day from 8 am to 6 pm. As a reminder, that we should have known, although no indication of this on the website or any other booking site. "So will breakfast be at 7:00?" I ask. "No there is no breakfast" he says. "So what do we do then?" He says he will have muffins, bread, fruit, yogurt, juices, etc. in the spare room. Okay, but nothing near the $60 breakfast included and paid for in the reservation. The next morning there was no sign of any staff in the entire hotel, and no breakfast. We were on our own and had to wait until the noon ferry to get coffee and food, on our own expense.
