    Pros +

    • The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful in pointing us toward local sights, and the room was beautiful! An individual cottage with hardwood floors, spacious shower, VERY comfy bed, mini fridge, beautiful fixtures, etc. A wonderful stay!
    • Loved everything about this stay. Especially the wood stove. Super cozy stay. Warm welcome!
    • Nice place, simple and good breakfast (ready in the fridge), friendly and very helpful staff. Fun to stay in a former church.Highly recommend to have dinner at the church bistro - VERY good!

    Cons -

    • It would have been nice to know what time the the front desk was open/closed, since we checked out early, but we left the key in our room and it was not a problem.
    • Nothing / but if you sit outside near the gardens and are pale skinned Europeans like we eye then take bug spray as we were bitten
    • If I had to be negative, TV was too small, WiFi was bad. But I was not there to watch TV & be on WiFi for the weekend. So not an issue for us.

    Clean & comfortable in great location

    10PatriciaPosted on: 1-24-2026

    Good size and comfortable. Glenn very helpful and optional breakfast was good. Felt very private and verandah was lovely to sit and have breakfast Very easy and pleasant walk into the centre and beach If you want a fabulous meal book The Church Restaurant - it’s so good!

    10StevePosted on: 1-18-2026

    Exactly as in photos. Staff very helpful & friendly. Very clean. Even the toilet paper was top quality. Great location, walking distance to shops. Own reserved car park.

    If I had to be negative, TV was too small, WiFi was bad. But I was not there to watch TV & be on WiFi for the weekend. So not an issue for us.

    Lovely room with everything we needed. The breakfast was very good with homemade muesli! Anna was very helpful. Really good restaurant on site.

    10RosePosted on: 12-21-2025

    Very clean & comfortable. Lovely private patio with well maintained gardens & beautiful native bird life. Great meal at the Bistro.

    8AdrianPosted on: 12-11-2025

    The cottage is well-kept and clean

    Breakfast delivered to the cottage is definitely overpriced for the products you get. An antique shower in the bathroom is overkill and totally impractical.

    10McconvillePosted on: 11-29-2025

    We loved the cottage. It felt like we were in our own little oasis. It was lovely sitting on the very private deck- so peaceful.The Church Bistro and Restaurant was a great place to eat. The food was delicious.The accommodation was also well placed to walk to the shuttle next door to get up to Cathedral Cove. We were able to use the shovels and towels provided for a donation to use at Hot Water Beach. It was a great place to visit at sunrise.The Church is also an easy walk to the shopping village if you need any supplies, a coffee, icecream or the local brewery.

    9JamesPosted on: 11-20-2025

    Lovely staff, gave great advice, and free use of spades for the Hot Water Beach was great, cute room

    10FraserPosted on: 11-8-2025

    Location, friendliness and helpfulness of staff, quirky room with outside space, great on site restaurant

    8ScottPosted on: 11-2-2025

    Great staff and great location and very cozy little room

    No sound insulation in the building.

    10NiccolePosted on: 11-1-2025

    Brilliant rooms, love the little porches out the back. Breakfast available to purchase, and is dropped off the night before so if you need an early start you can eat at your convenience. Perfect walking distance to beach and cathedral cove, great food and beer in walking distance too, and had shovels and beach towels to use for hot sand beach!

    10TimothyPosted on: 10-31-2025

    The whole place is very beautiful. They offer free spade and beach towels to go to the beach too. There is a nice restaurant just by the side, very convenient!

    Didn’t know that studio is sharing walls. If the description had said it, I would just book villas, which are all standalone ones.

    10JaclynPosted on: 10-24-2025

    Great location, restaurant on the premises, amazing staff, breakfast was lovely, very quiet, parking

    Nothing all was great

    9AaronPosted on: 10-11-2025

    Great location - can walk to Cathedral Cove and easy access to hot water beach. The shovels and towels were a great touch!

    We had no hot water during our stay but chalked that up to a full property and old pipes.

    8EricPosted on: 9-12-2025

    Beautiful and relaxed surroundings, great continental breakfast, clean and comfortable room.

    Bed was a bit soft

    8LeoniPosted on: 9-8-2025

    It was lovely to have a fireplace. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Great shower.

    The living area wasn’t really set up for watching TV. An extra couch would’ve made the difference.
