Perfect secluded escape

White Lilac had everything we needed & more for a couple's escape. Set in Vanda's lovely garden but kept private from the main house with separate entrance. Spacious but cosy. Communication with Vanda was easy and efficient. She is a fantastic host who obviously takes pride & goes the extra mile to provide a great place to stay. Loved our break & wished we could've stayed longer. Thank you

Peaceful, private.

Lovely large studio room with lots of natural light and a sweet cushioned loft for morning coffee amongst the tree tops whilst listening to the kookaburra. Comfy bed, clean bathroom, nice supplies left for breakfast. Helpful local intell from host. I'd go back again without hesitation.

Quiet retreat in central location

The property was a terrific place for a short stay. Centrally located but off the main highway, the studio was only a short distance to a grocery, coffee shops and restaurants while providing a bush-like retreat setting for a quiet stay. Great breakfast muesli, too! Easy communication to arrange the stay, check-in and check-out. Highly recommend.

Peaceful calm clean stay

Vanda was terrific in her communication with us from the start. The apartment was spacious, clean and enormous! It was such a great spot too, close to everything but very quiet and peaceful. We woke to birdsong in the morning and a view of the tree canopy. Some breakfast delights were supplied too. Simply marvellous. Thank you Vanda

Peaceful attractive property close to south beach and short drive to shops

Beautiful garden setting and very attractive and clean accommodation. Vanda is an attentive but unobtrusive hostess and her presentation of the studio and her attention to detail was much appreciated

Beautiful property !!

We loved this place. Beautifully decorated. Well maintained. Spacious. The host has catered for a wonderful stay. Books, dvds, games, blankets if you feel cold on cold nights, provisions such as shampoo if you have forgotten to pack it. It’s perfect to stay a few nights. Located well. Close to beach and cafes. Only a short drive away to wineries or you can Uber it too. Thanks again !!

White Lilac b&b is excellent

We were definitely surprised to find a b&b that suited us perfectly. 2 night stay with a great sleep. Loved waking up and seeing out of the top window at rhe trees. Loved the fact it was seperate from the house and felt like it was our own space. Lots if space, very clean, and comfortable I cannot say enough great things about white lilac.

Cosy

This charming, private and modern single bedroom apartment is everything we needed. It is a 90 second drive, or short walk to the beach, and is far enough away from the hustle and bustle for a silent night's sleep. Most importantly, our host, Vanda, had thought of everything from freshly baked bread, to home-made muslei and made us feel that her home was our home.

Restful holiday stay

I stayed here to be near family for the holiday period. It was lovely space, well set up and appointed, quiet and a great retreat. Vanda was a wonderful host and kept in touch if I had any questions and I appreciated the thoughtful continental breakfast items she had set out on arrival.
