Sounds of the ocean
Great Bed & Breakfast with a peaceful balcony with mountain views and the sound of the ocean. We received a warm welcome from Rosemary and her freshly baked bread she made for us. The breakfast basket was a great addition. 5 minutes walk to beach and Headlands hotel.

Excellent!
My son and I and my dog stayed one night to attend a concert. (not the dog, she stayed in the secure yard). The unit is very spacious with everything you could need. AND we arrived to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread! Just for us! How lovely.

Ruth and Ian are great hosts and provided generous breakfast provisions. The house was very comfortable. It is within easy walk to the beach and the surrounding mountains are lovely to take in from the view on the balcony. I would have liked to stay longer. We will be back again

Roadtrip stopover
We enjoyed a relaxing night at Austinmer Gardens B&B on our road trip with our 2 puppies. Accommodation was very comfortable and is in a great location. Breakfast was very good with freshly baked bread and lots of other options too. Highly recommend a stay at this B&B. We would gladly stay here again!

Great hidden gem
Great spot for a short stay - close to beaches and shops yet very quiet. Rosemary looked after us very well even though we were only there for 1 night as we were attending a wedding. We had everything we could have needed and enjoyed our visit.

A lovely place to stay
This B&B is charming, spacious and all that we needed for a relaxing and fun getaway. It is a few steps away from a beautiful park, and close to stunning beaches and cosy cafes. The owner is friendly, professional, and welcoming - with freshly baked bread on arrival! We will certainly be back.
