Do not miss the cellar!!
Pros:

It’s a genuinely historic building. We had a walk through in the morning as we arrived late (to crystal clear texted instructions, which were awesome!)

Cons:

If you can’t cope with any sound at night you might not like the train line - we thought it was romantic!

Beautiful historic homestead in a lovely garden setting
Pros:

A beautiful old homestead in a lovely garden space. We were greeted at the door by two sweet puppies. Staff were equally as friendly. We had a wonderful room at the top of the house, looking out over the garden on three sides. We were very comfortable indeed. Breakfast was ‘help yourself’ but there were gluten free options readily available and it was all delicious.

Cons:

I noticed every freight train going past but my partner slept through them all!

Pros:

A genuinely historic Australian inn, wonderfully renovated/restored and intriguing, looked like the perfact place to have a wedding, though sadly 22 years too late for us :)
We stayed in a Historic suite, and it was beautifully done, comfortable and well appointed.

Cons:

Breakfast was pretty basic, having been on the continent a number of times it was a little disappointing.
Other than that there was very little a harsh critic could complain about
