Great historic building little help on the service
Everything was great fabulous home very welcoming staff.
Kitchen was slightly messy on our arrival. Scrambled egg remnants on bench and garbage bag still next to bin hadn't been taken out. A bit of refinement on that front needed. However beautiful property lovely comfy beds otherwise very well kept and tidy. Next time call your customers to let them know you are charging for final payment prior to arrival to property. And let the owners of the property know this too as they had no idea final payment had been made by us.

Lovely location.
The 200 year old house is very grand, but could do with some TLC inside and outside the property. House was dusty and bed overlays/ rugs need cleaning and airing. General maintenance on broken showers heads, door knobs falling off, kitchen cleaning also needs attention.
This place is a true hidden gem full of history.. Kick back and enjoy life as our ancestors did! We'll be back.

Country hospitality at its best
Lochinvar is a stunning home.
Robyn, the manager is extremely welcoming and made our stay very comfortable.
The bbq area can easily seat 12 people.
The beds are all comfortable, and everyone had a good sleep.
The couch and chairs in the lounge room are quite old and have seen better days, which didn’t impact on our stay as we were outside most of the time, but for colder stays may be more of an issue.
Thanks for a great weekend.

Loved the house, Robyn the manager was lovely
Beautiful old house and property..however needs a really good clean inside and out. Obviously been years of neglect. The beds were comfy and felt clean. But was very cold and no electric blankets. There are open fires but no wood. Robyn did get a fire going for us but we had to chop old fence palings for wood. For a thousand a night there should be
firewood stacked and chopped and ready. Breakfast was cooked well but very very basic. This housestay could be so much more if the owners put a bit more effort in to the comfort of guest. I.e welcoming fires going, big fluffy quilts on beds, electric blankets, a fire pit in front
yard to gather around, bathrooms repaired and scrubbed, a big old country breakfast with bacon eggs mushrooms tomato and perhaps some muffins. It would def need air con for summer stays as well. We would book again and again if that was the case and be prepared to pay a bit more. Robyn the hostess made us feel very welcome and comfortable however and we loved the dogs.
