10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Australia: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 1, 2023 Margarita Chappel

Australia is as varied as it is enormous-- it is home to thriving cities, vast wilderness, and earnest, friendly people. Sydney is for sophisticates, with its famous opera house and annual Sculpture By the Sea outdoor art exhibits. Port Douglas makes a great base for snorkeling or diving the Great Barrier Reef, and quaint lighthouses keep vigil along the beaches of Byron Bay. Melbourne is a hub of rousing cricket activity, and the limestone pillars of the Pinnacles Desert are a natural wonder.

Comftable stay at the Quest

Everything during this stay was great, I love being able to prepare and cook my own meals when away from home and the Quest makes that possible. Apartments are clean and the staff very friendly, everything I needed was within walking distance and the location is great.

A rustic cottage that is warm and comfy

Reviewed By LynR209

We stayed in the one bedroom Oyster Catcher cottage up on the hill overlooking the bay. Large well equipped lounge, similar kitchen, smallish bathroom and bedroom. Great wood burner keeps the place toasty on a cold night. Big decks with great views. Furniture is a bit tired and knocked around, but good bed. Everything you need for a short stay.

Large spacious apartments

Reviewed By Grandview301

After a number of nights driving north from Melbourne, this spacious and comfortable apartment was welcomed. Our stay coincided with 185mm rain falling on the first night. Needless to stay sunshine and glorious walks along the beach weren't going to happen. Managed to catch up with washing/drying with in room amenities and appreciated the undercover car park too. Mark and Leanne are discreet, friendly hosts, never far away to help when required.

The Warders Hotel Fremantle Markets

A small boutique hotel in the old limestone cottages that were once the Fremantle Warders’ homes. The cottages offer a little pocket of calm among the vibrant heart of Fremantle.Refined sanctuaries behind a buffer of thick limestone walls, with thoughtful touches that bring our colonial heritage into your space. Cottage rooms brought back to the original timbers and stonework.

Hidden Gem

Reviewed By Colsun

We stayed in the upstairs Terrace Room and it was great! The room is large and has the heritage features of the old Warders Cottages. It is super clean and the bed was very comfy. The bathroom has plenty of space and the shower was huge! We enjoyed the complimentary mini bar for the first night of our stay and loved the sparkling water on tap! The included breakfast was a pastry and coffee in The Gimlet downstairs and this was usually enough for us to start the day. We stayed over Easter and the markets were open downstairs and we went in there to get a freshly squeezed orange juice each day at one of the stalls. It is a handy spot for the cafes, pubs and restaurants around Fremantle and definitely worth the stay and I would stay here again.

Steeped in history and exuding old world charm we are situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and only a two minute stroll into the Town centre which includes restaurants, galleries shops and more.

The best hospitality we've ever received!

Reviewed By FortuneForte

We stayed in Margaret River Guest House for three nights. That is absolutely great experience! We arrived for the check-in a bit late on that day and were a bit of confused about the entry. I rang the hostess Lisa and she immediately came out and gave us a very warm welcome. Lisa's husband Kairen is a good chef! He made superb breakfasts for us every morning during our stay. The location of Guest House is just at the center of the town. So it is very convenient to go anywhere. The room is cosy and spacious. We really appreciate the history of Guest House and the traditional style of accommodation. It gives more beautiful memory for our trip to Margaret River!

Lovely stay!

Reviewed By Z5584NAlisap

We loved: Rick Steins dinner - very good!! Staff very friendly and helpful - appreciated the warm and friendly greeting on arrival and help with bags and complimentary bubbles Breakfast - very good (a la Carte) with great coffee. Area - beautiful beaches and sunset beach great for sundown picnics. Comfortable room (ocean view Lower deck 207). Cheeky Dog pub was way better than we expected - great food and drinks (and pet friendly). Big pub but very well done. We didn’t enjoy the Mexican - too greasy for us but friendly staff and great seating. Areas they could improve: We were really disappointed to hear our neighbours TV either side at night - not relaxing for us. I guess this is an old hotel that has perhaps been renovated. We use our breaks to sleep and rest so it’s a shame TVs are heard through the walls. Could replace the single use plastic bottles every day and single use soaps. Would be good to have a recycling bin. Shame we missed the cooking event - we’d have gone to this beforehand if we had known. Not much info on the room - not a biggie but would be good to have more info about what’s on etc. We missed the pool as it was being fixed but appreciated our upgrades. All in all a wonderful stay - thank you!

This is a great motel, large and comfortable rooms. It was only when I drew back the curtains that that I remembered it is on the Newell Hwy - I didn't hear anything overnight. The Manager Tony seemed genuinely interested in me which was nice after a long drive.

Reviewed By marshfish

This was a large room on a freezing two night stay. The meal option wasn’t available so we raided our plan B reserves as the motel is quite a way from the town. It was a large room to heat on arrival. Parking ,as we were notified , is tight. The room had all we needed including a portable hot plate. The landscaped areas for a family were green and well kept.

We were lucky enough to book Room 12, which is the only room with an ensuite. Absolutely fantastic. Very spacious room and the windows opened out onto the front veranda where it was lovely to sit and have a drink and watch the sun go down. Real luxury. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food at the bistro was very good too.
