    I prefer a firm mattress and the one I was on was soft and also being very tall I wished there was a bigger bed ☺️

    Room was tiny but I couldn't complain, as it was for one night and was really affordable.

    Location was good. Proper kitchen to prepare breakfast for the morning.

    I was worried about shared showers and toilets but there were no issues! They were super close to our room and it’s a hostel so that’s normal.

    Quiet, easy check in, very close to main streets. Very clean and great lounge, kitchen and room.

    Local area info/maps: should have been in the main lounge area. We only spotted them (in dining alcove) as we were preparing to leave.

    Quiet location, easy walking distance from station and art gallery.

    Auto lights great but gaps around the door let the light in when they were activated. Doors also difficult to close quietly 🤫

    One shower is very small and larger men or women would find it hard to use.

    Good public or common areas kept clean. Good location close to the centre of town. Walking distance to supermarkets. Good sized room.

    Cameras. We understand that they are needed for an unstaffed facility, but still, it left us feeling uncomfortable.

    Mattress was very comfortable. There was an iron available in the laundry room. It was quiet.

    I was in room #3. It has a glass door onto the patio which normally I would have enjoyed for light, but did not feel comfortable leaving open as it was a communal space, so I kept the curtains closed. I think some lace curtains allowing privacy but light to come through would be good. The shower and toilets are right across so I could hear doors opening often, though guests never made excess noise.

    It was very clean. The signage was clear about how to care for the facilities. I appreciated the clean modern kitchen, the refrigerator, kettle, reading room and the who gives a crap products. It was good to be able to park in the driveway as I felt more secure with my car. Guests were all discrete, respectful, yet friendly. People shared the facilities with care. I also appreciated the codes into the building and into each room. Towrls in the rooms as well as extra bath mats in the bathroom were nice.

    Not at all like a backpackers. Spotlessly clean with many homely touches. Each room has its own secure lock so leaves you feeling safe. No tv in room but great shared lounge, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Will stay again and definitely recommend.

    Nothing I can think of.

    Just happened to meet the owners on arrival but I was sent very clear instructions via email with all the codes to enter the house and the rooms. Easy to find and so close to the city, walking distance actually, and in a very quiet area. House is spacious, clean, rooms have large comfy beds and pillows, fan in each room, hanging wardrobes or rails, and some have couches. There is a lovely communal lounge room, a dining room and a very spacious kitchen with everything you could possibly want in a kitchen. There are 2 toilets separate from 2 small shower only rooms, then a large disabled facility set up bathroom with toilet. Each room has its own security code. There is a paved courtyard out the back with lovely table and seating. 6 rooms only and although it looks small from the front, you will be so surprised when you walk inside. It is a real gem, and I can highly recommend this place.
