We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay here last weekend. Situated in historic Clunes, this beautiful, grand old house that was originally built in 1863, has been fully and tastefully renovated in period style. There are six bedrooms, several drawing rooms and formal and informal dining rooms. We stayed in the Spa Room that was exceptionally comfortable. There was plenty of piping hot water and big, fluffy towels. Peter and Shelley were great hosts and served a very generous breakfast on both mornings in the informal dining room overlooking the extensive garden, which stretches all the way down to Creswick Creek. The garden offers plenty of space in which to hold a very romantic wedding, including a gazebo and a bridge for photographic opportunities! Keebels is very conveniently located close to the centre of Clunes. Shelley, who is an experienced events organiser, arranged dinner reservations for us and it was only a short walk to the restaurant where we ate on the first night. She also gave us directions to Lambleys Nursery in Ascot, which we were pleased to visit on the way home. We could not have asked for better service.…

We had a lovely stay at Keebles on a rare Saturday when nobody else was staying there. The house is warm and cosy and there are different areas to retreat to. We usually prefer keeping to ourselves so we were a little hesitant about booking here but hosts Shelley and Peter were welcoming, generous and entertaining company, while also being mindful of giving us space. Their famed breakfast lived up to the hype. We stayed in the Cupid Room which was comfortable though not very spacious. If you like B&Bs and enjoy meeting other people, this is the perfect place for you.

Country sanctuary from the moment you set foot in the beautiful manicured gardens to the elegantly decorated property! It gets better with a warm fire place and numerous living areas for a chat, TV, reading! What makes the place though are the lovely hosts Peter and Shelly! And you may have read about breakfast! Just make sure you are hungry available is continental muesli, fruit, toast and a fully cooked affair! Gorgeous little town with tonnes of bookshops, friendly locals who wave you in for a vino and chat! Hidden treasure and can't wait to be back!

Peter and Shelley provide the usual hospitality one expects at a B and B but they did provide extras that made our stay more enjoyable. Food available in the kitchen if we wanted to help ourselves, freshly baked cake in the afternoon, and a heart cooked breakfast in the morning. They also have an extensive garden that is well cared for. We hope to go back again.

This is a beautiful home set in gorgeous gardens in a terrific location within easy walking distance of the centre of Clunes. Our rooms were beautifully decorated (as was the entire house) and we had the use of lovely sitting rooms and a brilliantly equipped kitchen where we could help ourselves to tea, coffee, nibbles and freshly made cakes. Our hosts Shelley & Pete were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble for them and they were incredibly welcoming. Pete cooked us the most brilliant hot breakfast that would put any café to shame. We were sad to leave and could have stayed much longer. We would recommend Keebles without hesitation - it's a lovely place to stay for a few days and just relax and we would love to go back there again.

Shelley and Peter are A1 hosts who gave us a room before they re-opened after some painting. Their property is gorgeously decorated and full of character. The gardens are very special, right near the river. Clunes itself is very characteristic of the goldfields and an ideal spot for a weekend or week long stay. Highly recommended!

We were looking for a B&B in the goldfields region for a quiet getaway. Stayed four nights at Keebles which is a lovely well appointed place with much more than you would expect for the very reasonable price. Peter was very welcoming, on for a chat at any opportunity and really looked after us. The rooms are very comfortable and clean but the bonus is having the run of downstairs day rooms with comfortable sofas, TVs, library, tea/ coffee and snacks. Not to mention the extensive gardens. Now to breakfast - Peter and Shelley do a wonderful breakfast, the usual cereal, fruit, yoghurt and toast, but a cooked breakfast that rivals the best we had in English B&Bs recently. Keebles offers you a stay for which you could easily pay twice the price. I can't recommend this place highly enough. …

Wonderful country style accommodation where the hosts are willing to go above and beyond to ensure their guests enjoy their stay. Comfortable rooms, beautiful gardens and a scrumptious breakfast are just some of the delights on offer. Definitely the place to stay if you're visiting Clunes or the surrounding area!

A mid winter escape to a beautiful country town was capped off with a wonderful stay at Keebles. With a roaring fire awaiting us we were made to feel incredibly at home and relaxed with a warm and genuine welcome with hosts Peter and Shelly. They are gracious and generous people. The property is historic but light, airey and clean. The living areas are comfortable,with plenty of spaces that we could have spent more time relaxing if time permitted. The breakfast was served in a beautifully sun drenched spacious dining area overlooking the lovely gardens. The food was delicious and more than ample setting us up for the entire day. Keebles certainly enhanced our stay in Clunes, and I would recommend it in any season!

My husband and I had driven past this lovely old hotel every time we came to Clunes and every time we'd sigh and say, 'We must stay there sometime." It never quite happened, until this year, when Jon turned 50 - coinciding with Clunes Booktown weekend - and so I grabbed the chance to book us with our two (older) kids. It was the perfect weekend. Shelley and Peter were wonderful hosts - warm, friendly, fun and could not do enough to make us feel at home. They greeted us, showed us around and told us,'Mi casa, tu casa' - told us to help ourselves to snacks, tea, coffee, wine etc. The place was spotlessly clean and so comfortable, utterly charming. Breakfast was huge, freshly cooked and delicious and they ran everything around us, to our timings and preferences. The public rooms were cosy and comfortable, good use was made of the library with the pool table, the gardens were stunning with autumn colours (we didn't get around to using the tennis court or playing golf this time). The kids are made to feel welcome and at home, even when one of them (briefly) mislaid their room key! By the time we left, It felt like we'd known Peter and Shelley for years. Really could not recommend it highly enough. We will be back!…
