St Joseph’s

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Interesting to read the history of the church being convict built in 1839, burnt down in 1888 and rebuilt by the new owner some 101 years later. Now an amazing venue and holiday stay.

Breathtaking property!

Staying in St Joseph’s guest house was an experience in itself. It’s an absolutely stunning property with plenty of living spaces, well equipped kitchen and refreshing swimming pool. The bedrooms were clean and beds were super comfortable with good quality linen. Each bedroom has on suite which made it easy for our group of 10. The house is located in a very quiet area, away from the road and any noises, which makes it a perfect hide away location for getting away from the city and busy lifestyle. We had no phone reception and no internet, which was a perfect for getting lost in a book or enjoying hours of dinning with a group of friends. The grounds are well kept and our Labrador loved running in and out and around of the house. The owner was communicative even on Christmas Day. I recommend St Joseph’ guest house for those who want to get away from the busyness of everyday life and spend quality time enjoying company of friends and family.

Thanks Monika for your review we aim to please all our guests. Even though it was hot I’m sure the pool and the air conditioners helped your stay to be as enjoyable as it sounds. Hopefully next time see you down at the Settlers Arms Inn where there is a band playing on Sundays where your Labrador is welcome there on a lead. There are chooks and peacocks to admire and a tractor for the kids to play on. Hope to see you again soon. Regards Steve.

Fantastic, comfortable, everything provided for maximum comfort and enjoyment.

We stayed for an end of year staff party/get together and we were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of the place. It was a huge property with so many nooks, crannies and relics to explore. Everything was neat and readily available and our host was welcoming and helpful. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

4/10 Poor

Unorganised and dirty

We booked the guesthouse for our wedding. Upon arrival we discovered the house was very dirty, kitchen equipment was greasy and very unhygienic, several light bulbs not working. We contacted the owner to let him now it needed to be properly cleaned for our wedding. The owner promised to send a cleaner who never arrived and we had to clean the entire house ourselves. Very disappointing and such a shame the management is poor as it is a beautiful place.

Absolutely Amazing

Our stay at St Joseph's Guest House was an absolute pleasure. The church has everything you could think of for a relaxing and elegant 5 star getaway. We enjoyed all this property has to offer. The kitchen is wonderful to entertain in, hosting all the mod cons. We enjoyed sitting out on the private back deck, overlooking the grounds and pool. We really enjoyed looking around the property that holds a lot of history for the area. Steve the owner is an amazing host and has done an outstanding job on bringing back to life this grand old building. I would totally recommend to grab a few friends and book out the entire place for a weekend or even longer. Thank you from all the girls, we really enjoyed our weekend getaway.
