Sounds of the ocean

Great Bed & Breakfast with a peaceful balcony with mountain views and the sound of the ocean. We received a warm welcome from Rosemary and her freshly baked bread she made for us. The breakfast basket was a great addition. 5 minutes walk to beach and Headlands hotel.

I only stayed for one night, was provided a lovely breakfast, especially the home made bread. I had trouble with Wi Fi access. Rosemary, was a lovely caring person, who assited me with transport to my concert. I would have liked to have a tv in the bedroom. I would have liked to submit my computer instead, however, the bed was so comfortable, I slept well.

Excellent!

My son and I and my dog stayed one night to attend a concert. (not the dog, she stayed in the secure yard). The unit is very spacious with everything you could need. AND we arrived to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread! Just for us! How lovely.

One of the best!

5 star from start to finish. Rosemary is a wonderful host, every single thing was perfect. Breakfast provisions, rooms, comfort; couldn't fault a thing. Gorgeous location, easy walk to the beach. We totally enjoyed our brief stay and only wish it could have been longer. Highly recommended.

Rosemary was an outstanding host. The accomodation was very comfortable, and just what our family needed. Our young girls liked saying hello to the chooks every morning and the generous breakfast options left for us were delicious. We also loved exploring the beaches in and around Austinmer, some of which were an easy walk away! Highly recommend.

This property is a quiet, comfortable, clean, home away from home. The location is superb with a short walk to beaches and cafes, set in a lovely quiet suburb. The owner's hospitality made us feel welcome and relaxed. A lovely stay!

Perfect for our needs

Our stay at Rosemary's property was exactly what we needed to attend a wedding in the area. Spacious, clean & comfortable - Rosemary greeted us warmly & made us feel welcome, even though we in a bit of panic about being late to our event. She left us lovely breakfast supplies, including fresh homemade bread & we had a nice chat at checkout. The beds were comfy, so it had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone needing a stay in the area. There is a rather steep set of stairs, which may not suit those with mobility concerns or those with very young children.
