What the reviews say

Jean-Paul greets you at the door, carries your bags, and personally walks you through the whole place on arrival. The breakfast runs to omelettes, avocado, and bacon, though hot options are limited if you skip eggs. A residential Rosebank street, quiet and small-scale.

  • Staff members Jean-Paul and Hopeful by name, describing them as consistently attentive and always looking out for guests throughout their stays.
  • One reviewer noted the hotel feels like a converted house, with spacious rooms and a residential, intimate atmosphere rather than a standard hotel setting.
  • A reviewer arriving late after a long flight appreciated being served a full lasagne meal on arrival, and noted massage services were available on site.
  • One guest highlighted a room with a spa-style bathtub featuring power jets, a heated carpet, and nature-inspired bathroom design as standout features.
  • Breakfast included a fresh self-serve spread with options like seeded bread, avocado, granola, yogurt, and fresh fruit, though hot meal variety was limited for non-egg eaters.
  • The hotel sits in a residential area of Rosebank lined with jacaranda and jasmine trees, with a well-stocked shopping centre close by.
  • The property is a converted house operating as a small boutique hotel, giving it a home-like scale and feel.
  • At least one room features a spa-style bathtub with power jets, a heated carpet, and an outdoor shower area.
  • The bar fridge in rooms operates on an honour system, meaning drinks are not complimentary.
  • Check-in included a personal guided tour of the property and an offer to carry luggage, with late arrivals accommodated with a hot meal.
