11/10.... best bed and breakfast place in Australia and we have tried literally scores of them... this is a 5-star B&B with outstanding breakfast... and huge 30 sq. Rooms appointed like a 5-star hotel with your own balcony area overlooking the gardens...great host.. many spacious relaxation rooms and decks in nearly 2 hectares of beautiful gardens encircled with pines and hedges for complete privacy, seclusion and quiet. A true home away from home where you can completely relax... with unlimited places to visit within easy reach... you can't do better in the entire Southern Highlands..

Absolutely fabulous. What a warm inviting welcome, the accommodation was first class. The breakfast was awesome. I took my dog and she loved it. There is so much room for animals to run around. I will be going back.
