It cant be faulted. The accommodation was delightful, a beautiful home away from home. The host Robyn and David were so inviting, and maintain such a high standard throughout every aspect of your stay. The bedroom, the bathroom, the toiletries. Freshly baked cake, port and chocolates at your disposal for whatever time you return home. The breakfast in the morning... More

Thank you David and Tracie for your positive review. We take these assessments of our guests stay very seriously. From them we try to make improvements, if only in small ways. We keep trying to include more items without increasing the room price. I guess our knowledge of the area is because we take a big interest in all the... More

“Excellant.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Abelia House was a totally unexpected gem. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and the communal areas were welcoming. Sitting on the verandah for breakfast, listening to the birds and watching the mist rise over the beautiful garden, while Robyn fixed breakfast was the most marvellous way to start the day. Breakfast itself was plentiful and delicious. Robyn and... More
