"Your B&B Christina's would have to be the most stylish hotel in Australia. It was lovely from the first instance that you welcomed us at your front door to the luxurious room overlooking the lake. The ambience in the guest room was superb and very well decorated. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and very filling. It was a great way to escape our busy lives in the city. See you again." - N&M - Sydney - 13 July 2008

It is less than an hour's drive from the city's northern fringes." - Sue Milne - The Australian. - "between the Central Coast and Hunter Valley"
