Dalfruin B&B

What a delightful stay! Our only regret is that we stayed only one night. Keith and Andrea are wonderful hosts for their unique and wonderful B&B. The location is perfect for walking into town and there are many great things to see and do within a short drive. A few nights here couldn’t possibly disappoint.

Lovely accommodation, good parking, very friendly hosts and good breakfast provisions which were replenished daily. Easy walking distance to restaurants (Cinnamon and Grand Terminus both very good). Perfect for our needs.

This is a delightful place to stay, ideally for people looking to spend several days in Bairnsdale. It's within walking distance of the main street & the Mitchell river; and it's quiet. Andrea & Keith are very attentive & welcoming hosts.

The hosts were very welcoming. The room was spacious and the ensuite was well presented. The B and B was too personalised with far too many knick knacks on display. The access from the car to the room was arduous with too many steps. The kitchen area had a lot of crumbs around the microwave and other appliances. At the time of booking gluten free was requested - this was not a problem as long as I bought my own bread as I was told it was difficult to purchase locally. I had no trouble purchasing it at the local supermarket. Apart from 2 eggs there was nothing else provided for me. I could not guarantee the packaged fruit, the yoghurt, the cereals, the croissants or the cake were gf. If an adequate breakfast had been provided it would have made the stay more enjoyable. The gardens surrounding the home were beautiful.

My wife and I stopped at Bairnsdale for two nights on a recent road trip. Generally we try to avoid staying in ‘typical’ motels wherever possible - preferring places with a bit of character. Dalfruin B&B was the perfect antidote to the usual bland overnighter. We stayed in ‘Ballyvista’, one of only three rooms in this historic property. It was a huge self-contained studio room with an equally large ensuite bathroom complete with claw foot bath. Our hosts supplied a generous breakfast each day along with plenty of information about local activities, points of interest, cafes and restaurants. Dalfruin is only a ten minute walk to the central part of Bairnsdale. There’s also a nice garden that would be most enjoyable for those staying in the warmer months. Highly recommended.

Were welcomed by our hosts and given a lot of information for our stay very informative. A beautiful old house and lovely gardens. We stayed in the blue room. It was full of art and everything you need. A beautiful big bathtub. A short walk to Main Street. A comfortable stay

Friendly helpful people

This stay was sensational. Everything was better than it said on the website - Is there a better place to stay in Bairnsdale? We stayed in the garden view room - perfect balance of comfort, kookiness and amenity.
