We arrived at Tails to find it all locked up and no one around. When we did get access to our room, we found it to be cramped and dirty - the only "cleaning" that seemed to have been done was the bed made. This was definitely not the "luxuriously appointed room" as described in the hotel website and $100... More

This was a big dissapointment. We haven't been there for three years when it was under the ownership of other people. We won't be going back. There was a really bad smell coming from the drains in the bathroom which couldn't be flushed away even after running the hot water for five minutes. The staff were very noisy until quite... More

Well, it's still early in the evening on our first (and only!) night, but I felt compelled to write this review while I still retain some sense of humor! As I lie here on our not-so-comfortable double bed (actually two single beds pushed together!) I'm wondering what it is that concerns me the most. Is it the annoying tv that... More

The one night we spent at Tails of Blackheath was a comi-tragedy of inadequacy from beginning to end. I’ll try to describe the most salient points as briefly as possible: • I had booked online several weeks before the trip using the property's website and had given a check-in time, but when we arrived the staff were hard to find...

My husband and I spent a 50th birthday night here recently. Booked on line, the place sounded very promising - a heritage Mountains guesthouse, with luxury appointments - just lovely. The reality very different. We had booked a 'Superior Queen room with bay window' and on arrival were shown three poky, dark rooms with a back door - no 'bay... More

We stayed here for my husbands birthday suprise. I had chosen the guesthouse on the basis of the description provided and with the reasoning that for the tariff charged, it must be top rate! The tariff, in hindsight was outrageous! I booked via wotif, paying a tariff of $220 for what seemed to be luxury accommodation with a glowing description... More

We enjoyed our stay with four other couples the rooms were comfortable, centrally heated and we had access to our cars through our own private exit. The open fireplace was enjoyable in the lounge and the management were extremely hospitable and could not do enough for us. The location is great and whilst it is a heritage building the rooms...

Very, very small, dark room. Bed was described as a queen but was only a double. Mattress and pillows were absolutely terrible and only one blanket was provided (in winter!). There was no air conditioning despite the existence of registers, so the room was freezing. A small heater was provided when we enquired about the lack of warmth. There was... More
