Positive Reviews
positive:
In the shadow of a historic castle.
Literally in the backyard of this accommodation is one of Victoria's more popular highlights of Craigdarroch Castle. Aside from being able to reach this attraction easily, guests will be able to reach the downtown area along with the harbour in a comfortable walk.
positive:
Warmly decorated and inviting facilities.
As a heritage property, this home has a lot of character. More than its historical value, the guest house has comfortable and inviting rooms that are well furnished. Good communal facilities including a kitchen and laundry area add to the accommodation's ambiance.
positive:
Something for everyone during breakfast.
Homemade items make up the majority of breakfasts at this guest house. Delicious dishes are prepared fresh and include a variety of healthy choices.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Accommodation lacks a personal touch.
No owners are onsite and guests will be left on their own except for breakfast service. Because staff sightings are so rare, it is hard for travellers to get enough information about the area or have requests fulfilled.
negative:
Parking is lacking in the immediate area.
Despite being advertised on the accommodation's main website, there really isn't any parking in the area. In fact, guests have reported they were forced to look several blocks away for an adequate spot.
negative:
Some common amenities are noticeably missing.
While the lack of a television is warned about ahead of time, guests are still surprised that rooms are lacking some basic amenities. This includes toiletries and similar items, along with a lack of dinnerware in the common kitchen.
