Federation House

Nothing like the photos! More like a second hand shop with mismatched furniture covered in towels and tablecloths than a heritage house. Outside was like a building site, rooms had DIY 'ensuites' and spare bedrooms added in cupboards and under the stairs. The sunroom attached to our room had the ensuite shower and toilet added to the end of it with one of the shower walls covering part of the fire exit. Not nice to use the toilet if other members of your party are sat in the sunroom! The fire alarm went off in our room during the night; no-one came, and in the morning we were informed it probably went off due to the battery running low and was surprised it didn't go off again! We certainly felt this building was a health and safety risk and shouldn't be open to the public.

Rooms: Ok tidy, bathroom a cupboard but hot shower Nearby activities: Walking distance to penguins and Victorian area Safety: Not kid friendly outside, stuff everywhere parking difficult with owners stuff everywhere Walkability: Up a hill Food & drinks: Variety of tea and coffee provided. Breakfast stuff ok Noteworthy details: Please fix front door so guests can go to and from there! Going through kitchen area is awful.

Thanks Rodger for a pleasant stay. The house is well located with views. Old world homely feel inside. Tea coffee and breakfast provided. We were given a choice of rooms. The kids room was small, and the ensuite cramped but adequate. Bed was very comfortable. TV in the main bedroom. Large lounge and sunroom to relax in downstairs. Fridge and basic kitchen facilities. The kids enjoyed the pool table and played the piano. A good alternative to a regular motel if you are passing through.
