To top it off, Ian was an amazing host - he helped me with my bags (and my toddler!), and gave me great dinner and local playground tips (there is one within a minute walk). His breakfast and coffee was fantastic! I highly recommend this stay.read less

The B&B is set in a perfect location for exploring Stanwell Park and the surrounding areas. Only five minutes walk to the beach and local cafes. Our room was private and spacious with the most beautiful outdoor deck and shower set amongst the rainforest. The bathroom in our room was truly something else with lush tropical plants covering the entire wall above the spa bath. A plant lovers heaven! Our host Ian was so welcoming and hospitable from the moment that we arrived. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable and at home. Ian cooked us a delicious breakfast daily in the beautiful sunroom and was such a delight to chat to each morning. We will be back!read less

Be transported to a nature retreat while being hosted by the lovely Ian. All the amenities you need are provided, including thoughtful touches such as wine glasses and platters for cheese. You can enjoy a drink at the 'bush bar' overlooking the backyard and park. The cooked breakfast provided at the alfresco dining area is as delicious as it is enjoyable. You can relax in your room with Netflix, walk amongst nature or stroll down to the beach. I highly recommend you stay here as you won't regret it! Thanks Ian for giving us an unforgettable stay 🙂read less

Our room was very comfortable and bigger than we had expected! Too bad we didn't use the spa. Ian's breakfast skills are on point and his mushrooms deserve a mention in this review! The beach is a short walk from the house. We have ready recommended Ian's place to family and friends and will definitely be paying him a visit rather sooner than later.read less

Very easy going, always wanting to make sure you have a relaxed stay, and very knowledgeable about the area, particularly for restaurants if you have dietary requirements. The house is stunning (as long as you don't mind stairs), each suite individual and equally as nice. Breakfast was great (especially the mushrooms), and again, very relaxed, Ian making sure we had all we needed.
Will definitely return, and would have stayed longer if we could.read less

An amazing house nestled amongst the trees and only a short walk across the park to the beach. Relaxing on the balcony listening to the birds and waves in the distance was exactly what we needed.

The walk to the beach was as enchanting as you only have to cross a beach park, and when you come back a private deck with an outside shower is waiting for you. Can’t say enough either about Ian’s hospitality. We’ll be back sooner than expexted.read less
