A very comfortable & well positioned stay.
Pros:

The room is lovely. The bed is comfortable & everything we needed was provided.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that the toilet was part of the open plan room. There are some things that just need to be private!

Beautiful room and very comfortable bed but toilet only separated from the bed by a rattan screen was not pleasant.
Pros:

Beautiful room, luxurious decor, very comfortable bed, great location

Cons:

Bathroom including toilet all part of the bedroom with the toilet separated from the bed by nothing more than a rattan screen, which we really did not like.

Pros:

location good

Cons:

Could not stand having the toilet in the bedroom. No air lock and no lighting restriction in the room which meant if you went to the toilet at night, the entire bedroom was lite up. A really bad design and unhygenic.

Relaxing, fun and cup filling
Pros:

The staff at the hotel were amazing! Both the ladies tha served us on the Friday night could not be anymore accommodating and friendly. They made us feel like we were old friends reuniting. Beautiful friendly girls.

Cons:

The layout of the rooms is interesting. We stayed as two female friends and used to sharing a bed but the lack of privacy in the bathrooms was too much. Privacy screens need to be installed.

The best sleep we’ve had in 3 weeks in Australia!
Pros:

Beautiful property: we liked reading about its history. It feels like a very personal project of love. We also loved the restaurant, where we met a lovely Australian couple with whom we became fast friends, and the delicious breakfast at a local coffee spot. Very highly recommended!

Cons:

The door-less bathroom trend is fortunately out in California and we hope this wonderful place can adopt something more permanent than a rattan screen

We absolutely loved our stay at The Oak & Anchor. The comfort, presentation and cleanliness of our room, along with the quality of the amenities is really amazing. Our breakfasts were delicious (especially the coffee) and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend it to others.

The taps took a little bit of getting used to, but were fine once we got the hang of them.

Gorgeous boutique stay with quality onsite bar and restaurant
Pros:

Breakfast was included in a nearby cafe.
Onsite restaurant was high quality.

Cons:

The open plan bathroom in the Beau suite would not suit everyone, and is also a little slippery.
