Excellent!

My son and I and my dog stayed one night to attend a concert. (not the dog, she stayed in the secure yard). The unit is very spacious with everything you could need. AND we arrived to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread! Just for us! How lovely.

Sounds of the ocean

Great Bed & Breakfast with a peaceful balcony with mountain views and the sound of the ocean. We received a warm welcome from Rosemary and her freshly baked bread she made for us. The breakfast basket was a great addition. 5 minutes walk to beach and Headlands hotel.

This property is a quiet, comfortable, clean, home away from home. The location is superb with a short walk to beaches and cafes, set in a lovely quiet suburb. The owner's hospitality made us feel welcome and relaxed. A lovely stay!

Perfect for our needs

Our stay at Rosemary's property was exactly what we needed to attend a wedding in the area. Spacious, clean & comfortable - Rosemary greeted us warmly & made us feel welcome, even though we in a bit of panic about being late to our event. She left us lovely breakfast supplies, including fresh homemade bread & we had a nice chat at checkout. The beds were comfy, so it had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone needing a stay in the area. There is a rather steep set of stairs, which may not suit those with mobility concerns or those with very young children.

Very comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings

Ruth and Ian are great hosts and provided generous breakfast provisions. The house was very comfortable. It is within easy walk to the beach and the surrounding mountains are lovely to take in from the view on the balcony. I would have liked to stay longer. We will be back again

Roadtrip stopover

We enjoyed a relaxing night at Austinmer Gardens B&B on our road trip with our 2 puppies. Accommodation was very comfortable and is in a great location. Breakfast was very good with freshly baked bread and lots of other options too. Highly recommend a stay at this B&B. We would gladly stay here again!
