We booked at Naracoopa for the historic architecture and the signature breakfast. What we got was a plywood shack down the back yard with eggs and bread… and let’s not forget the wack in the head. At the risk of sounding negative, the place was clean and well equipped.
We arrived to find the place closed, so we rang and needed to return 20 minutes later. We went to the local pub and had a drink which was OK… a social experiment at least.
On meeting our host, we were ushered under the house down through a less than legal height area. If you are over 5’ 7” you need a room upstairs in the house. I wacked my head…silly me for not reading the signs in the dark (unfortunately the night was not working).
We expressed a desire to see the house inside, but that didn’t happen. That’s what you get being the peasants down the back of the yard.
We did have a relaxing stay, which was one of our goals. I do not want to discourage anyone from visiting Naracoopa, my only suggestion is that you make it very clear what you are looking for.
Some of you might enjoy a wack in the head.
Room Tip: if your priority is privacy go for the shack down the back yard. if you want to experience Naracoopa...

We are so sorry that our beuatiful Garden Pavilion was not what you were expecting. Unfortunately, while we were away on an extended overseas holiday, our manager was at Naracoopa. I'm sure she did, to the best of her ability, ensure your stay was a comfortable one, but unfortunately sometimes miscommunication causes issues, and in your case the room you requested was not available. We will take on board your comments about the ligthing for entry to the Pavilion as well as issues about the hot water ASAP so that others are not inconvenienced. In the meantime, we would like to offer you and your partner a free night at Naracoopa in our traditonal B&B room with our gourmet breakfast in the dining room, as we want to ensure you are able to experience the evening you were looking for. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you two experieinced.
