    Paul was an exceptional host. Breakfasts were amazing. Very laid back and relaxing Great fun interacting with the Magpies, Butcher Birds and Kookaburras which could be hand fed, totally made my stay fabulous! Just be aware at breakfast to guard your toast from one exceptionally cute and very quick Kookaburra!

    Paul was an excellent host who went above and beyond to facilitate our stay. The house was incredibly clean, the room was comfortable with everything you could want provided. Although it was a rushed and stressful time, we felt immediately more relaxed when we arrived.

    A wonderfully relaxed welcome on arrival. Magnificent views, beautiful property, comfortable and welcoming and immaculately clean. Enjoyed relaxing in the pool at the end of the day. Breakfast was perfect, presented and cooked beautifully, served on the patio with the kookaburra’s looking on.

    I would have liked to stay longer, but our schedule didn't allow it.

    Excellent communication and is a friendly host. Lovely space and views. Large breakfast while entertained by the local birds. Stocked with everything you might need or want for a few nights away. Quiet spot away from the crowds and traffic, yet a short drive from the hinterland hotspots. Alexandria is a shared home space, however there is amazing privacy, discretion and freedom of movement. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

    Our host Paul was amazing and accommodating, we couldn’t have asked for a better reception or feel more welcomed. We loved together location, the room and of course the breakfast was exceptional! We also got to get up close and personal with the kookaburras, magpies and the lovely tame butcher bird we named TBone. Fabulous stay and we plan on returning!

    Although the room was clean, beautifully laid out and well presented. The unfortunate setup didn’t really allow adequate privacy if/ when other guest walked past. Also, hearing room noise from above and water facilities etc. Overall, minor distractions from a great location and absolute awesome host. My partner and I will most likely try the other room when we stay next ;)

    The location was divine and our host (Paul) was fantastic, did all that he could to make sure our stay was pleasant.
