Ken & Janine are amazing staff. Such friendly people. The house is just like you have stepped into your own home. Great feel, lovely rooms, and kitchen. Thanks for such a great time.

I felt like I was staying at the house of a friend who's really low-maintenance. It's awesome because they just throw you the keys and show you around and they just want you to be comfortable. The two proprietors were really awesome and friendly and lovely. Other guests were the same. It's not a party hostel, thankfully, as I'm not into that, but it was a warm home-base, and I really felt privileged to be there.

Quiet atmosphere, the couple who run it are super friendly and helpful, lots of character, feels more like a bed and breakfast than a hostel.

A wonderfully affordable retreat to get away to. The room was lovely as was the breakfast facilities and the internet access

Friendly, gracious hosts and clean comfortable accommodations. I especially liked the kitchen privileges. They keep a cupboard and fridge stocked with wholesome breakfast foods and give you free reign of the kitchen.

The location, owners, use of their wonderful kitchen, video selections and a DVD player in each room! Qauint, overall perfect. I do have a problem with that party question, which seems to appear on all your questionnaires and of course it has to be answered or it won't go. Therefore, my answer is only there so that the survey will go, it does not reflect my views on it, as that was not my purpose. An N/A option might be adviseable. I would return to this hostel in a heart beat! They were wonderful!

Very friendly hosts. Great location & beautiful room. Even though it was located in the middle of the city, it's tucked away and feels very private. I would definitely book this hostel again in future.

Access to cooking facilities at all time More like a home than a hostel
24 October 2006
The owners were fantastic! If you want a homely atmosphere, then stay here. Great vibe - for young or old visitors. I am in my 30's but there was also people in their 60's (at one point) staying there.

The atmosphere was great. I saved money by buying my own food and then cooking most nights at the Guesthouse. I met other fellow travelors, and we all had such a wonderful time staying there. It truly was a home away from home. I recommend the Guesthouse to anyone and everyone.
