We were greeted warmly by Margaret and Alf even though we were absolutely covered with dirt from visiting the local bat caves, they even washed our clothes now you can't get better hosts than that. Margaret had actually gone out of her way to arrange the tour with friends on our behalf. They have a beautiful home, our room was... More

We were warmly welcomed to a beautiful home with quality furniture and furnishings and made to feel at home. Fabulous swimming pool and spa set in meticulously tended garden complete with magnificent roses - very, very special. Margaret and Alf added so much to our visit with their thoughtfulness, generosity, knowledge of the area and contacts. Our breakfasts were delicious.... More

This lovely B&B has married a very up-market facility in a comfortable, welcoming home. We arrived weary and stressed,but relaxed immediately as a result of our hosts' warmth, consideration, and generosity. The guest area is beautifully furnished, and there is a large contemporary-style bathroom right beside the bedrooms. The hosts, Margaret and Alf Cain, prepare abundant breakfasts and serve them...

My husband and I stayed there for 4 nights in June 2011. We were made to feel very comfortable by Alf and Margaret and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Very clean and great facilities. Close to the main part of town. Sandy and Hugh Syme from South Africa More

We had an enjoyable time using two rooms within the house with large shared bathroom and appreciated the very friendly hosts. All was very clean and well maintained with very comfortable beds and furnishings. A quiet location within 5 minutes drive from town centre. More

As B&B owners ourselves , we are aware of what good cutomer service is, and how much attention to detail it involves. A GOOD REST, and their amazing hosts, go above and beyond what would be expected to provide a total customer focused experience. They are incredibly helpful, driving us into Alice township, getting bus schedules, cooking delicious meals and... More

My wife and I visited Margaret and Alf in June as a part of a quick trip to Central Australia. We normally like to stay away from big hotels and meet the locals in a B&B setting. And "A Good Rest" is very B & B! Guests literally share the home with Marg and Alf - with your own bedroom... More
