My overall impression always lies with how comfortable a bed is when you go on holidays - as people always say " there is not a good bed unlike your own", well the minute our heads hit that oh so comfortable mattress, that was it. As always I only give an excellent review when the place hits all my ticked boxes and this place is no exception. The homemade baked bread on arrival was a real surprise, the fresh chicken eggs from your own backyard were delicious. Thank you Rosemary & Ian for a lovely, cozy little upstairs hide away. Will definately come back and stay!

Peaceful view out the window towards the escarpment and chicken coop while sitting in bed with a cup of tea. Lovely quiet location, mattress was really comfortable, got amazing sleep. Great bedding (natural fibers!), no artificial fragrances. Would absolutely come back.

Roadtrip stopover

We enjoyed a relaxing night at Austinmer Gardens B&B on our road trip with our 2 puppies. Accommodation was very comfortable and is in a great location. Breakfast was very good with freshly baked bread and lots of other options too. Highly recommend a stay at this B&B. We would gladly stay here again!

Great hidden gem

Great spot for a short stay - close to beaches and shops yet very quiet. Rosemary looked after us very well even though we were only there for 1 night as we were attending a wedding. We had everything we could have needed and enjoyed our visit.
