Find Guest Houses in Australia

We enjoyed our stay in the cosy ground floor room allocated to us. Being at a wedding, we felt like part of a big household including the wedding party. The best part of our stay included having a lovely bath after the festivities in the big, old tub and enjoying the delicious buffet breakfast with the wedding guests, including the bride and groom. The verandas and gardens are stunning.

First night was a freak out night for my daughters as we have been staying in city in our whole life. This is my elder daughter dislikes insects and will screams at the sight of any insects. I must say she is not suitable for the farm stay. And the farm is full of insects at night. We caught a big centipede in one of the bathroom. But after 2nd night, she got used to it. Firstly, thank to a hotel staff for keeping in touch with me via emails and telling us the route to MRH. We stayed in cottage 3. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. I must say it is a bit inconvenient. Farmer is a friendly and approachable. He tried his best to attend to all our needs. The floor of the bathrooms are cold and the lights are dim. So it can be a bit scary during the night. The toilet is quite far from the 2 bedrooms. As such quite inconvenient to wake up to go toilet middle of the night. The rooms are small and full of insects when the lights were switched on. The insects landed on the pillows and beds and we can be quite disgusting. We were closed our doors during the 2nd night, and the insect conditions was under controlled. The beds are soft. There is no phone in the cottage. As such you have to walk or drive to the reception if you need anything. But I must say the animal feeding activity at 8.30 am was fantastic. This was the best part of the stay. Collecting the eggs for the pen, cook it and ate it. We also experienced a 2 /3 hours newly born baby lamb. It was so amazing ! But overall I enjoyed the farm stay . Though my girl didn't like the wheelbarrow ride but other kids did. The animals were friendly and I must say cottage 3 has the best view and exposure to the free roaming animals. We lighted up the fire place in the cottage and was very warm. The farmer was so thoughtful to bring us more eggs for breakfast during the last day and we had that for breakfast. The first thing when my 3 years old left for Singapore, she said :" Goodbye!"

Phenomenal service, gave late checkout. Very clean rooms with nice tea & coffee amenities. Comfortable bed, ambient electric fireplace and double shower with luxurious shower pack. The rooms are gorgeous! The only thing is that the gravel carpark for guests' cars is quite loud inside the rooms. It would be better if just concrete *although less aesthetically pleasing). It's also a shame that Parklands only serves breakfast and does not have a bar/ restaurant for dinner. No fear, Vesta is about 400m up the road and has phenomenal food! Make sure you take a few minutes to stroll around the grounds, there is a great duck pond! Would absolutely stay here again. Feel rejuvinated and relaxed after my stay at Parklands!

I booked a single room all of which are located on the ground floor, and it was surprisingly quiet. Lovely huge old 'house' , garden grounds with shady trees, a nice place to relax on a sunny day. Easy walking distance to Milsons Pt train station through Kirribilli village full of eateries. Take a nice walk around the bays either way, under the harbour bridge, Luna Park etc. This hotel really is in such a great location, a restful haven after busy noisy shopping in central Sydney. Also, great cooked breakfast for all guests.

we loved the claremont guest house. it is a little out of melbourne centre in the very nice neighbourhood of south yarra. connections back into the centre by train were frequent and fast and the hotel is only a 2 minute walk from the station. this is more of a hostel than a hotel, but given the expensive prices of hostels generally in australia we felt this one was very good value. our room was huge, the communal bathrooms looked newly decorated and were very clean and the breakfast was certainly above average, offering choices of breads, cereals (first time i've seen special k in a hostel!) and tinned fruits - as much as you wanted. the staff were very nice, offering us suggestions on places to go and we could leave our bags securely on the day we checked out until we were ready to get them. the hotel is in a historic building, so some of the room features are older, but we felt in a way that added character rather than being run down. an excellent budget option in melbourne.

The Swan Valley Oasis Resort is in the midst of a fantastic area filled with a variety of wineries, family-friendly Restaurants, Cafes and attractions, breweries, picturesque heritage sites, exquisite seasonal fresh produce locations and much, much more. The resort itself provides Accommodation, a Restaurant, Function facilities, Attractions such as Laser Corps and Café, free WiFi for guests, Gym and Sauna, a beautiful pool area and laundry. My stay was an overnighter for one and my room was perfectly set up as a mini home away from with the added personal luxury of a spa. I look forward to a longer stay to fully appreciate The Swan Valley Oasis Resort and all it offers as well as returning to the colourful, exciting and option-filled Swan Valley.

Correcting my booking after I had double booked after my daughter's flight bookings (for six people) took a long time, but I did receive a refund for all but one night in one room. I was grateful for the refund, but a few hundred dollars were wasted on the unused room. There seemed to be a continual problem with the printers in Reception which meant that no tickets were printed for the Yellow Waters Cruises on the two occasions on which I booked. Despite the assurance of the Reception staff that this would not matter, I was subjected to an intense interrogation by the first tourist guide who felt that I might have been "tricking" her company although my name was on her list with a booking for eight people, all of whom were with me. I found this degrading, but we were allowed on as fortunately I had the small printed receipt from the EFTPOS machine on me. She proved to be a good tourist guide if a deeply suspicious one! The first time the printers were not "working" and the second time, they had run out of ink. However, the second tourist guide let us on without demur once I showed my little receipt. Otherwise, the staff were very helpful, efficient and considerate, particularly those serving meals under a great deal of pressure.

Exactly what we were after for a 1 night stop over in Kakadu. We didn't spend much time in the room, just a quick swim & off again to the Yellow Waters sunset cruise, then back for dinner & bed. It had everything we needed, comfy beds, kettle, toaster, plates & cutlery & fridge for breakfast as there is no b/fast offered at the restaurant. The dinner we had by the pool was sensational - best meal of our trip to the NT. The only negative was that the sprinklers turned on at 3:30am and sprayed hard against the metal walls and woke us all up. I'd say it went for about an hour. Could've been timed better but didn't ruin our stay. I'd stay there again for sure.

I remember every signle thing in this place after stay here in a few days in January 2017. The owner are nice and helpful. The property are well kept. I stay in one of their female dorm, enjoy the sun in their garden where its guarded by their cute dogs. Surprisingly the in house guest are well behave and respect others whom stay in this property. (There are one night I had to stay in other hostel because this property are full house and I experienced all the opposite situation yet Paid the same $) They have a pair of lovely dog and a fluffy cat. They provided an open kitchen to in house guest. Theres a section in the kitchen where guest can give away their unwanted stuff/food to other/next guest. I use their self service laundry as well. I will definitely stay here whenever I come back to Tassie.

Very disappointing stay: .) southfacing - not a single ray of sun .) no soundproofing at all - one can clearly hear the guests talk, their steps, their opening & closing zippers!! in adjacent apartment .) the door leading to an allegedly private courtyard is not to be locked (deliberately or just broken?); besides this courtyard is not private at all, as other guests & staff can (and do so!) walk by. Very uncomforting as this door is the only way to let fresh air in. People pass by can look into your room and watch you sit on the bed or whatever you do. .) on first & short glimpse the furnishing looks nice - but at a closer one you realize the furnture is worn down (bathroom, kitchen, doors) .) very dirty floor throughout ( + under bed, wardrobe, side tables); although the wooden floor is really beautiful! But it needs to be cleaned before guests move in. The one thing really catching is the fireplace - but in the end it´s not enough to book in this place a second time.

The 175 is a fabulous place to stay for a night or 2 weeks. It is right across the road from Westmead hospital, 5 minute walk to the station that will get you all around Sydney. A quick 5 minute bus ride or 15 minute walk to Parramatta. I had a Queen room for 1 night. The room was immaculate, the bathroom gleamed, the kettle was clean, the bed was really comfortable., and there is room service and fresh milk . As well as cable TV & movies and most importantly, Free Fast Wi-fi! I was very impressed with the service,. The staff are friendly, helpful, and are happy you are there. It is the little things that count. I will be staying again. I recommend this place over any 5 star in the area. It's highly recommended! Thank you for a great stay. 😁

There are not words for this hotel, we had such an amazing time! Staff are so friendly and helpful. The resort is fully stocked as in cooking facilities. The bed was comfortable which is important to us. Had an outdoor shower in a private courtyard which was just beautiful. Enjoyed us a luxurious spa bath with candles (provided by resort) and a bottle of bubbly! We definitely cant sing praises enough, loved our stay and cant wait to be back!

The cabin accomodation was wonderful - the bed was super comfy, the room was new and well presented. It was tidy and clean. We especially like the double door entry into the cabin. We arrived really late and found an envelope waiting with instructions at the reception desk (it was closed for the night). We found our way to the cabin easily enough with the instructions, but to help us, the staff turned on the TV and in-room light in the cabin. It was really thoughtful! What let the cabin stay down was two things. 1. The kitchenette in c31 was very basic, hotel like. No toaster, microwave. We would have preferred a small kitchenette. 2. The food at the cafe lodge was horrible. As we only stayed one night, we only had breakfast there - we both ordered a big breakfast with some BBQ steamed buns. The steamed buns were microwaved - a telltale sign is when the dough casing is super hard and chewy. My husband's scrambled eggs big breakfast was basically chopped up fried eggs. Sausages were std super market quality, as with the hash brown and bacon. All in all, it really wasn't worth the $20-something bucks per meal (if not for the geographic remoteness of St Clair lake). If we had known food was this bad, and prepared this lazily, I would have happily eaten our pre-hard-boiled eggs and waited until we got to Campbelltown for the world's best toastie sandwich.

Beautiful serene setting, self contained 2bedroom cottage with everything you could wish for: Nespresso machine, plentiful Barossa Valley food supplies, fluffy towels, excellent free wifi, great beds, Netflix smart tv, log fire, air con, several outdoor seating/meal settings, row boat on lake. We did/used it all and our only complaint is that we should have stayed longer (stayed only 1 night). Was exactly as promised in the Stonewell Cottages promotion and even better than we could imagine.

We stayed two nights on the dinner, bed & breakfast package, which, while still expensive at $620/night, was a bit cheaper than the cost of its individual elements. Unfortunately, this apparently meant we were "3rd class guests" too, because, despite an "upgrade" to a suite, we were escorted to a far back corner of the property, next to the (noisy) wedding venue, and with absolutely no view or outlook. Sadly, the trend continued at dinner, with our assigned table being at the very back f the room, behind the fireplace. Oh well... just not our day I guess. Overall, the room was very comfortable, and the food was excellent, but it just didn't quite overcome the feeling that we'd been treated a little shabbily.

We enjoyed our stay, large bed, large room, separate bathroom and separate toilet with a balcony (with table and chairs) overlooking a lake. We took a special offer on booking which included half board, that is breakfast and evening dinner, drinks extra. The meals were creative, delicious and uniquely different with plenty of choices. It is close to wineries and restaurants, but we enjoyed the food at Cape Lodge so much that we didn't have much apetite for large lunches. We would thoroughly recommend Cape Lodge for a three or four day stay as we had.

It was a short one night stay with Dirk, Pam and Bella, the sweet dog. The house is beautiful and the room was very clean and comfortable. The weather was at a record Low of 3 deg, but the heating was excellent. Dirk made us feel right at home and the company at breakfast with our fellow guests were friendly and interesting. Breakfast was well stocked with more than we could eat. Dirk gave us good recommendations on where to visit and to eat. Thank you Dirk for an excellent stay. Cheers. Thomas and Joey from Singapore

We revisited Caves House after 28 years and were charmed back then. But now it has undergone an enormous renovation which is sympathetic to its heritage listing. There are fewer rooms now and I think we had the best room (Room 1 - keep it a secret) - it had a lounge, bedroom with King Size bed and an amazing ensuite with a spa bath which overlooked the magnificent garden and had an ocean view. It also had access to an extensive balcony which you shared with two other rooms where you could relax and enjoy the view. When I say 'old world charm' I not only refer to the architecture but one evening we were treated pre-dinner to a couple of hours of a jazz singer accompanied by the grand piano in the foyer area. The other night we were able to sample local wares with a night market coming to the hotel and indulged in the artisan chocolates and pastries. We also walked through the gardens along the 'ghost trail' to get to the beach and felt like I had been swept back to the 1930s. Enjoy.

We spent 2 nights at Ningaloo Lodge in July. Check in was quick and easy, there's well-equipped spacious common areas (lounge room, plenty of tables in the kitchen, games room, courtyard tables), free wifi in the common areas and great staff. The rooms were a little small and dated but functional with tvs, lamps and spare blankets. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. It was a central location to everything and walking distance to the shops. I wish there'd been some board games in the games room rather than just darts and pool (we had a rain day when our tours got cancelled) but all in all we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

I booked a Queen room with my wife and 2 year old staying for two nights and three days. Location is just 7 minute walk from the village centre. Staff was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. And free breakfast. Although it was shared toilets, it was always clean and the toilets in the first floor was spacious as well. Had no problems with hot shower and staying warm inside the lodge. The kitchen though had limited space and plates. If a big family or group is using the kitchen you will have to wait awhile for them to finish. Lastly follow the signs, when you arrive there isn't anyone to greet you until 4pm or 8-10am. Leave your things on the first floor near the drying room and should be fine. Big shout out to the staff making our stay enjoyable especially it's our first experience staying in the lodge and village.

the retreat is a tricky one to locate on both gps and google map. it is actually located along koch road where you will see an old red lorry at the junction. drive ~1km and you will come across the sign for jcr. once you have found it, this is one of the best location for you to escape to. beautiful gardens and lots of perosnal attention and space (they only have 7 rooms). will definitely revisit to try their long lunches.

The bathrooms are great. Rooms are nice. Communication about the parking was very poor and due to them having construction work they emailed too late to say I had to park elsewhere while we are having work done. Only lucky that parking was just around the corner and being one day was a weekend it was free. Construction work outside on Saturday was noisy as well which started too early in the day. Will be much better once it's finished and parking is available at the back again. Parking is normally extra which they don't state until after you have booked.

The couple of hotel's hosts are very very warmly & lovely. They told me how to catch a bus and which famouse places i should go in Brisben. They are very patience to explain for everyone. The man get up early to cook free breakfast for each guests from 6:30 am to 8:30am every morning. Good milk, orange juice and toast. The man chat with you very interesting things. I reallly recommend you to book Annies Shandon Inn, it is your best choice.This hotel will give you a feeling as familly, everyone is your familly person. At last, i give a suggestion that WIFI is free but it's not good in the room, maybe it can improve, then here is perfect house.

First time staying at the best western in albany and I think we do love it and will stay here again for sure! The hotel is located just near the town centre and you could walk or take a short drive to the town. Easy to find restaurant, there are 2 restaurants nearby which is the Indian restaurant (highly recommended) and the Chinese restaurant just walking distance from the hotel. The staffs were friendly and makes our check in and out an easy and quick process. The room is beautifully refurbished, nice bathroom and very comfortable bed. We definitely love our stay in albany this time and when we come back in a few months time, we surely will choose best western again!
