We stayed at the Maison de May on our drive down from the Gold Coast to Sydney. What a pleasant surprise to see that the B&B we had booked on-line the night before (via Wotif.com) was so comfortable! They put great attention to detail into their decorating, landscaping (lovely courtyard in the middle area!), and snacks/breakfast treats. We arrived late... More

Considering a price of nearly $200 for a night, I expected more than what I received. No one to meet us at our arrived time, the hostess' daughter giving us an envelope with the house key in it and then running off, no one to show us around the place... We were told there would be afternoon tea on arrival..... More

I stayed here for 4 nights in the Garden Studio.I was met by the Hostess, Vicky at the agreed time and shown through this delightful self contained studio.It opens out onto a shared Mediterranean styled courtyard as well as having its own private entrance. The fridge was loaded with goodies and the general decor of the Studio was charming. Beware... More

Visiting Newcastle for business, booked room via wotif.com however after booking was made, I learned of the death of a close friend whose funeral was scheduled early the next day. Notified hostess immediately and asked if cancellation was possible due to exceptional circumstances. Was advised that I could not cancel booking, due to terms and conditions of wotif.com. Whilst I... More

Delightfully decorated and top quality bedding and furnishings, luxurious gowns and thoughful accessories made for a very comfortable stay. We stayed in what I think was called the Garden Studio, which was so spacious, with living area downstairs (kitchen, bathroom, eating and Chesterfield lounge, TV etc) and bedroom areas (Queen plus king single and additional sitting area) upstairs. With your... More

Was convenient for a special family dinner within walking distance when booking. Advised 3pm pickup of key and got called at 1pm asking when I was going to come and pick up the key as the owner had things to do. No biggie, small business is like that. Fantastic location a fairly easy walk to yacht club etc, long walk... More

Maison de May was a perfect weekend getaway offering a relaxing environment, noise free stay. Breakfast was included but we were too keen so we left early on both mornings and missed the breakfast. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and the bathroom was luxurious with a jet spa! More

I wanted a comfortable night away and chose Maison De May as comparable in price to Newcastle's better chain-motel rooms. I was very happy I did! Set in quietly charming Carrington a short drive from the city and the excellent restaurants on the wharf, Maison de May is an unexpectedly charming spot of luxury in Newcastle. My room was attractive,... More

We arrived exactly on time as per our advised arrival time. No one was there. I called and was told to wait. Then I got a call back and was directed to find the hidden key. Which led us to the wrong room. That was all sorted out. The hostess was helpful in giving directions to local eateries etc. I... More

We have stayed at a few B & B's in Europe, UK and Tasmania and none of them has topped this. It is a delight to walk into. To be greeted with afternoon tea and then left to our own devices to explore the house and courtyard. Our room was well appointed and even had a small balcony.Very quiet and... More
