A beautiful and very friendly place to stay.

The location was fantastic. Really close to the facilities downtown, as well as the Art Centre and eateries. The property was like a home from home. The hosts were very friendly and great company. Will definitely stay here again when we return.

Great historic B and B in the central city close to all amenities
Pros:

Beautifully restored old villa, perfect location opposite the Arts Centre and Tram stop, 5-to-10-minute walk to CBD and 15-minute walk to the Stadium. Off street parking. Great amenities and nice breakfast included. Secluded back garden and right next door to the funkiest bar in town (The Astro). Botanical Gardens 5-minute walk down the road, Art Gallery even closer! Recommended.
