เบลมอนต์ โฮมสเตด

The place was historic and super charming. The best part was Maureen the host, she gave us incredible recommendations for food and beaches, brought us fresh fruit every day, and let us eat from her Mulberry tree (best fruit we’ve ever eaten!). Great place to stay to access Freycinet, would definitely come back!

Gypsy Rose was great, quirky. Loved our stay; hosts friendly and chatty. Not far to Swansea for good meals. Also good facilities for self catering.

Nice farmstay 6km from Swansea

We stayed in the cottage , lovely vintage decor, great fireplace, surrounds were beautiful and the history of the place was amazing

Fantastic Host 6 out of 5 stars Even flooded rivers could not dampen our stay!

Quiet peaceful getaway. John and Maureen were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Quaint and lovely.

The friendly hostess welcomed us and showed us around the property, which was nice place to stay.

This was my favorite place I stayed on my trip. It is a beautiful spot. The owners were delightful and so sweet. I have never slept in a more comfortable bed. If I could have stayed here for the duration of my trip I would have in a second. Highly recommend.

Extremely hospitable owners in a beautiful property. Very unique accommodation which was extra special

We stayed at the Belmont from Dec 19-21, as a base for us to explore the Coles Bay area and Freycinet National Park. The property came with 2 rooms, and big enough for a family of 4. Location was quiet and easily accessible to restaurants and also near to EV charging since we rented a Tesla. Cosy and clean, and our host John was warm, welcoming and very hospitable.

The accomodation was 'Bentmore' within the advertised property and is a small separate cabin. The property pictures are not only out of date but show the whole property and it is unclear what you are actually booking. The room itself was small, which in itself was unexpected, and the space was made even smaller by odds and ends on every available surface. The bedside table which might have been usable was covered in various decorative items and the mantle piece over the fire the same, so there was no place to put any of our personal items. The bed was only a double and wedged up underneath by a block of wood, which made it very rigid and so wasn't particularly comfortable either. The room had a wood burning stove which the owner did supply wood, but I had to clean out several inches of ash before it could be used, and the fire filled the room with smoke, so we had to leave the front door open while it was lit. For some reason, the bed pillows were encased in multiple waterproof inner cases inside the actual outer pillow case, and made the pillows crunchy and uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom shower worked well and the towels were usable, but the shower door didnt close well and created a river of water that covered the floor and flowed out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. We then felt we had to use the towels to mop it up, but fortunately the weather was warm so we could dry the towels on the balcony fence. Overall, below the standard expected

This is a treasure trove of accommodation that will amaze you, the best and most special building of all my travels.It has a history of 130 years and has a garden of 13,000m2. The rooms are large and well-equipped. Surrounded by century-old trees and various flowers and plants for you to enjoy, we experienced the life of a farmer for the first time here.If you have time, the owner will show you how to feed her merino sheep and hens, as well as her yard.The host was very welcoming and we tasted eggs from his own hens for the first time.

We stayed in Gypsy Rose which was lovely. A different experience but cozy and charming on a cold winter night. Hosts were lovely and we would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, thought there was Wi Fi but none, there was a toilet and shower on the truck but found you had to go outside to get to toilet etc.

Gypsy Rose was very much a unique experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Maureen and Johns hospitality was second to none. A wonderful, relaxing setting.

We stayed in the cottage at the property. What a delight to walk into such a cosy, comfy space. Out hosts Maureen and John were very welcoming and took the time to explain the history of Belmont. We were invited to enjoy the extensive garden, pick fruit from the orchard and swim in the river at the rear of the property. A step back in time with all the comforts of home. We couldn't ask for more!

Bit of a mix up over our booking but our hosts did their best to make up for it. We stayed in the Gypsy Rose and while one of our party was happy to embrace the glamping 'tiny house nation' lifestyle, our other member was less keen! Having seen all the 'tiny house' programs on the streaming channels it was good to try it out in reality. Turns out I have way too much stuff to ever make it as a long term plan but it was fun for a two day stay. Gypsy Rose is very comfortable but is lacking in space to put your own things. We probably had our best nights sleep of the holiday here with a comfy bed and lovely linens. The bathroom also produced a really good shower pressure which was also a surprise, however, be aware that you effectively have to go 'outside' to get between the main room and the bathroom so those overnight or early morning trips to the loo can be a little fresh! The camp kitchen is certainly a benefit as the interior is too small to do much beyond breakfast, but I would suggest stocking it a little better. In the end we didn't use it as with 3 frying pans and no regular pans we couldn't conjure up a rice or pasta meal. Easily fixed though. The host and all her animals are really friendly and it's a stop over we will never forget! One other thing - we weren't impressed at the Bark Mill Tavern to the point we walked out, but we were impressed with the Iluka Tavern over in Coles Bay if you find yourself over in the Freycinet NP late afternoon.

I booked the stay for my parents, the Gypsy Rose was beautiful, welcoming and very clean. Owners were absolutely lovely and very helpful. Gardens are stunning would definitely recommend.

Peaceful beautifully set up. Stayed in Gypsy Rose cottage
