Great weekend break away.

This property is a quiet, comfortable, clean, home away from home. The location is superb with a short walk to beaches and cafes, set in a lovely quiet suburb. The owner's hospitality made us feel welcome and relaxed. A lovely stay!

Sounds of the ocean

Great Bed & Breakfast with a peaceful balcony with mountain views and the sound of the ocean. We received a warm welcome from Rosemary and her freshly baked bread she made for us. The breakfast basket was a great addition. 5 minutes walk to beach and Headlands hotel.

I only stayed for one night, was provided a lovely breakfast, especially the home made bread. I had trouble with Wi Fi access. Rosemary, was a lovely caring person, who assited me with transport to my concert. I would have liked to have a tv in the bedroom. I would have liked to submit my computer instead, however, the bed was so comfortable, I slept well.

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.

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!

Excellent!

My son and I and my dog stayed one night to attend a concert. (not the dog, she stayed in the secure yard). The unit is very spacious with everything you could need. AND we arrived to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread! Just for us! How lovely.

Rosemary and Ian are wonderful hosts, their generous breakfasts, freshly baked bread, and home laid eggs add to the homely atmosphere that ensures an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Our dog was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed the close proximity of the dog beach, just a short walk away from beautiful Austinmer beach.
