Pleasant get away for a weekend extremely close to beaches

Our keys were left out on a table and we didn't see the owner until we were leaving since there weren't any instructions about what to do on check-out (he seemed very friendly and kind in my brief meeting with him). It was all a bit unusual for a property marketed as a B&B - which typically has more of a 'homey' feel. The room was comfortable, minor issues being broken blinds and noisy floorboards. There were lots of candles which would have added a nice ambiance but nothing to light them with. The breakfast was cook-your-own which I thought was another unusual touch for a B&B (particularly at over $300 per night). The grounds of the property looked quite lovely, but we didn't get the chance to enjoy them with our short stay. Overall, I probably wouldn't stay here again, but it's pleasant enough.

Late in the week, we decided to have a couple of nights away on the Central Coast and found the Acreage B&B to be available. It is located in rural acreage and is reasonably quiet. The room is not overly large, but adequate for 2 night stay with a good covered balcony to sit out on and look out over the valley views, which have unfortunately for the whole area, been somewhat drought effected. The breakfast arrangements worked well enough with the common kitchen and dining area. We had a nice visit but for what is being sold as a premium B&B, the less than premium detail in presentation of the room, the general building and grounds maintenance means that it is difficult to give it a really great rating for what is a reasonably high nightly tariff.

We loved our stay here. Peaceful and lots of space. So close to Terrigal beach and cafes etc. Will definitely come back.

The Acreage is tucked away in a green oasis close to the urban centres of the Central Coast. Our GPS was able to find it. The bedroom was comfortable and well-appointed (apart from lacking a refrigerator). It opened onto a covered balcony. The ensuite included a spa bed. We were a little disappointed that it was a "do-it-yourself" breakfast, given the fee we paid. However all facilities were available. There was plenty of parking, and access to the room after hours was quite simple.

Lovely guesthouse, very relaxing environment. 5 minutes drive to Avoca beach.

Great relaxed place. Rik was a great host. He especially got us lactose free milk and gluten free products. Loved the BBQ facilities, the everyday breakfast served to us on the balcony, the pool, the alpacas we got to feed and Hugo the dog that ran around outside on the acreage. Note the kitchen & lounge rooms are totally decked out including coffee making machine, cookies, Tea, BBQ utensils, DVDmovies, Surround sound, and communal Port all of which are Shared with other guests. You get your own room with ensuite, air con, Tv & DVD player and this all opens out onto the tranquil deck. Very beautiful and relaxing. The one thing was the spa bath when we used it expelled all this dust and hair into the water. So we had to have a shower after using it. Otherwise this place is an amazing place for a relaxing and romantic getaway which provides the perfect environment for chilling out and reconnecting with your loved one in a tranquil setting. Thanks Rik for letting us share in your little slice of heaven that is The Acreage. Loved it.

Enjoyed the excellent hospitality and beautiful location the house itself was comfortable very clean with excellent facilities but unfortunately the outside balcony furniture could not be used due to being very dirty and covered in mold that was the only negative thing we could say.

It was absolutely beautiful! The room was immaculate, the breakfast delicious, the view and location is stunning. Marissa and David were wonderful, so polite and caring, they did everything to make our stay fantastic. It is truly a beautiful place and we will be back!

Beautifully serene and lovely hotel service. Perfect if you wanted a quiet night away from the city life.
