We arrived at a this wonderful european style B & B at 8:30 on a Sunday night. Greeted by a middle aged man. We let him know that we were hungrey after being on the road all day. At which time he had let us know that they kitchen had closed 45 minutes earlier and took us upstairs to our suite. We stayed in the Buenos Aries 3 bedroom suite. It was a little big for just the two of us, had a wonderful fireplace. About 5 minutes later the phone rang they opened the restaurant back up WOW. food was amazing like the service. The next day we moved into a one bedroom suite offered by the staff to try the VanGogh WOW again
We will be back

We took the "great escape package" -- one hight plus 5-course dinners plus continental breakfast served in our room. We enjoyed the experience -- the food was outstanding; the suite had lots of character - it came with a fireplace, three(!) bedrooms, and a sitting room. The hotel was built in 1912 and it does need renovating. The carpets are worn. Our only other nitpick is that the wine list was a bit short and uninspired.

La Boheme is authentic, romantic and charming, as long as you don't expect great luxury.

After reading other reviews of La Boheme's restaurant, I was a little worried. In the end, though, our experience was not a disappointment at all. We were 15 minutes late but were still given a nice table by the window. Our server, Adrian, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine, and when dessert took a little while to arrive, he reassured us with humour that it was still coming. The carrot mint soup was refreshing, the garlic sauce with the mussels was flavourful, and the presentation of our dinners was well done (with the doneness of the meat cooked as ordered). My only complaint would be that the peaches used in my dessert were canned and not fresh. The piano player's improvisational skills were a little rough, but he did his best to field requests and cover a variety of music genres. From start to finish, we were there for 2.5 hours, but this kind of restaurant is not one to rush through. All in all, it was a lovely evening.

4 of us stayed here in Dec on our way to the mts. Passengers on our greyhd raved how qauint it was. We all liked supporting mom pop places so were surprised they had sp. when we called.

Waited 10 mins before someone answered the door. The lady seemed annoyed. Check in was another 15mins. Think they are short staffed.

We were tired but all agreed to stay despite the darkness, old smoky smell that wafted in our rooms. Didn't see any other guests.

Toilet did not work. We told them but was not fixed even when we checked out.

Dinner at nearby restaurant Bacon was good and about local foods.

Nice neighbourhood. If you walk towards river, there are loads of huge homes. Lots of trees and easy to catch bus to downtown.


This is a B&B. The only thing good is the breakfast, unfortunately not the rest of the service.

Think we search out a downtown hotel next time.

Thought spa nearby called Sandlewood (spelt this way) was going to help us relax before our trip to the mountains. Boy, were we WRONG! In the middle of our pedicure/manicure, we kept hearing laughter, profanity coming from the other room. There was this staff member who claimed to be the owner Tracey who was DRUNK and trying to hide her smoking.

Both our esthetician and ourselves were shocked! Totally unprofessional. We will NEVER come back despite how our Esthetician was so apologetic about the whole ordeal. BEWARE

The 2 of us who were waiting for their pedicure/manicure cancelled their appointment after seeing this. Don't blame them.

NOW in the same building is another business named Casa detox. The 2 of us who didn't get the pedicures/manicures turned out to be the lucky ones! They ended up getting fabulous saunas and relaxing massages.

As we waited, we got a chance to chat with the co-owner of Casa. She was like a fountain of knowledge about natural beauty care and herbal things for cleansing....we would have paid for this information!

Many thanks to Lillian and Mavis! And good luck with your relocation and we will look you up after our trip! Gee, we wonder why they are moving.
