A truly lovely place to stay. The willow room was exactly as shown and described in brochures and on line. This stay was bought as a gift and was amazing. Very welcoming and enjoyable stay, probably one of the best we have had. Lorraine took us to the Pig & Whistle for tea (excellent meal) and then picked us up.... More

Our third B&B choice took us to the Dandenong Region about an hour outside Melbourne and again served to illustrate the variation in style of property falling under the B&B banner. Like Silver Waters this house is beautifully presented and immaculately clean. Loraine our English host offered tea and cake on arrival mid-afternoon and the place looked very much like... More

The welcome we received was the first indication that we had arrived at a first class establishment. We were early, but Lorraine showed us to our room anyway.

The service was second to none with offers to drive us to our dinner destination and then return to collect us was very acceptable Breakfast was to dream about. All in all the six of us who stayed were... More

I thoroughly enjoyed the personal attention that Lorraine gave over the winter week I stayed. My room was extremely comfortable and and great choice for breakfast. It was so welcoming to come back to a roaring fire and glass of wine each evening. Close by car to good eateries in a beautiful area.

This is a fantastic little B&B and great for a group of friends - you can book out all 3 rooms and have the whole lounge area to yourselves. We booked the 3 rooms for a friends wedding that was up in the hills. Lorraine is a fantastic host and the fact she provides transport to and from wedding venues... More
