This is a beautiful homey environment. Marian has thought of everything. We stayed in an upstairs room with two very comfortable beds and our own bathroom with shower. The rooms are very private and we did not hear a thing all night. A full breakfast is provided and Marian's eggs benedict were so good we ordered them the second morning.... More

My husband and I together with my sister and brother-in-law spent three wonderful nights with the most generous and accommodating of hosts. They went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable. Ardenlee is superbly appointed in all areas. The bedrooms and ensuites are delightful with fresh towels each day. The dining room facilities, which included frig, microwave,... More

Wonderfully clean and comfortable B+B, quiet and peaceful yet within easy walking distance of several places to eat. Great room and breakfast cooked to order - a treat after experiencing "cook yourself" offerings by other guesthouses in Australia. An unhesitating recommendation.

My husband and I chose Ardenlee after reading travellers' reviews. Our experience lived up to all our expectations. Our hosts welcomed us warmly and invited us to take full advantage of the facilities available to us. These included a nicely appointed sitting room, complete with television,movies and sound equipment. The dining room facilities, including frig, microwave, tea and coffee making... More

There is nothing here to criticize; Tastefully restored old world charm with the modern amenities & comfort that you need. The breakfast is a real treat - cooked to order rather than the bain-marie luke warm rubbish served elsewhere; it's just a shame I can't eat a big breakfast as it was cooked exactly how it should.

Beautifully restored and decorated to retain its period charm, but with all modern amenities. Hosts were friendly and helpful with advice about restaurants, sights, etc. Home-cooked breakfasts - apparently becoming less common these days. Comfortable room, quiet even though facing busy road. A lovely place to relax and unwind!

We stayed here in one of the standard rooms for two nights in early November 2011. Our hosts, Marian & David went out of their way to make us feel at home with superb hospitality. The room was light and airy, the bed firm and comfortable and everything looked like it had been decorated yesterday - not three years ago... More

Very charming and cozy room. The house was built more than a century ago, but the rooms have been completely redone in a way that respects the age of the house without compromising modern comfort. Spotless clean. Wireless internet access. Good cooked breakfast (choice of 4 options) with newspapers. Great host, very knowledgeable about the town and its history. Highly... More

A beautiful room, bath, great breakfast and fantastic hosts who couldn't be nicer. Simply, it is our pleasure that they welcomed us in their home. Stay here.
