Incredible stay at be&be The location is great The place is very well done with all you need for a weekend getaway Warmth on arrival in winter is exactly what you need Towel heater is a perfect touch in a very modern bathroom which made you feel like you are in the wilderness of luxery. Beds are comfy Coffe and breakfast is a great touch. The only small things if i had to find some constructive feedback, the couch is not comfy to relax on thr leather has you sliding everywhere so hard to relax on it, and the toiley sewerage lets out a smell so remember to put the toilet seat down

Bespoke comfort amongst gum trees.

The place was beautifully elegant. A glorious retreat tucked amongst gum trees and floral paths. Nicola ensured my stay was comfortable and checked in to see if I had everything I required. There fridge had been even been stocked with breakfast supplies !!!!! The bed was super comfortable with a view worthy of a magazine spread. Highly recommend

Beautiful two level apartment in a modernly renovated old building. A lot of effort has gone into designing the interior of this space and it makes for such a relaxing stay. The well equipped kitchen means you can cook if you'd like but it is also a nice walk into the town to eat out. I'd highly recommend be&be and would be happy to stay there again!
