Serena is a very kind, generous and happy host. Check-in was simple and easy with clear communication, the room clean and comfortable with thoughtful decor, everything you need was provided plus an amazing breakfast. I took my dogs for the easy walk around the block in the morning and they had lots to sniff. We'd happily stay at Tantarra again.

We loved our stay at Tantarra! Thank you Serena for being a wonderful and welcoming host. We are very thankful to be able to travel with our 2 dogs and our room, the property and surrounds was absolutely beautiful. We loved our breakfast and overlooking the pool. We would love to return again soon!

A lovely place to stay with my fur boys. Enclosed yard made it easy to manage toilet trips at 3 am !

It looked a bit dated and too many Bali icons

Pet friendly and perfect!
We stayed one night with our pet cocker spaniel in ‘the Room’ and would definitely stay here again. Bed was comfy, room was cosy and warm and brekky was great.
It felt like a home away from home!

It is a hidden surprise with its Bali theme and the facilities were better than expected. We had been traveling with our little dog and had been in some very average pet friendly places, this was a highlight and and a pleasant change.
Tara
Pleasant, comfortable & relaxing stay
Pleasant & comfortable stay. Well-located on a quiet street, not far from the city centre. The room was clean & the amenities were suitable for an overnight stay with our dog. Breakfast was also nice.
The only downside was that the check-in instructions weren't clear initially & we had some difficulty contacting the host when we arrived. However once we were able to reach them, check-in was smooth.

Oasis in the city
This is not your usual accommodation, its like staying at a friends house with a guest flat out the back! Serena is a wonderful host who gives you the run of the place but is there if needed. breakfast is amazing / restaurant quality/presentation. the room & bed are very comfy with adequate space for 2 & a pooch
Verified traveler
The experience was relaxing, the breakfast excellent and the service helpful. The room was attractively decorated and spacious and the bed was comfy
Verified traveler
The room was spacious and well appointed. We particularly enjoyed the continental breakfast. What would have improved our stay would have been to have a safe off leash area in the yard for our dog.
Verified traveler
Don't let the outside fool you, this is a beautiful guesthouse.
Verified traveler
The whole atmosphere of the house was great, having the chance to have the pups with was even better. The staff were great and would highly recommend to other who want a nice get away. Will be going back for sure
Sarah
Unfortunately my nights sleep was rudely interrupted due to an inconsiderate guest staying in the room next to me. People on mobile phones talking at the top of their lungs at midnight is not okay and I had to put up with over 1/2 an hour of a conversation that I did not want to listen to. The property owners probably need to put some signs up and immediately evict people that cause such a disruption which was fueled by the fact they also had their dog barking in their room. I am totally appalled that they did not act upon it at the time as there is no way they could not have heard it.
Verified traveler
Tantarra guest house was absolutely wonderful. Exceeded all expectations and kept my pup and I warm and cozy on a cold, wet night. The thoughtfulness that went into our stay made all the difference. ‘The Room’ was beautiful and clean. Would definitely stay there again.

Privacy was completely respected and the room and surrounds were perfect.

Peaceful, clean and convenient.
The large Skylight in The Room was overly bright above the bed and I suggest screening.

Balinese inspired escape
Beautifully presented, awesome pool and lounge chairs to enjoy a peaceful and tranquil lazy day in the sun, amazing breaky in a Balinese inspired haven! Highly recommend.
Jasy
Studio a little dated and overuse of room freshener made it difficult to sleep even with door open.

Lovely guest house
Our room (Shambala) was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
The grounds were pleasant and it was lovely to sit on the back verandah and read, relax, have a drink. The pool looked inviting but was too cold while we were there.
It was great to be able to have our little dog stay with us too.
Having a small kitchenette was useful.

A little bit of Bali heaven
We stayed in the Shambala room that overlooks the pool. It’s very spacious and clean with lovely furnishings that took us right back to being in Bali.
The daybed is a nice addition where you can relax and enjoy watching the time go by..
Having the little kitchenette is also a bonus.
The lovely Sheridan towels in the bathroom are a nice touch of luxury.
The pool was so inviting! Lazing next to it on the sun lounges was so peaceful. We used the bbq and enjoyed a lovely meal with our family and dogs (off lead)wandering around the fully secured yard.
Breakfast was delicious! So tasty and fresh.
The whole process of checking in and out was easy and we will definitely be back.
Thanks Kim & Serena for sharing your beautiful b&b with us.

Wished I could of stayed longer
A beautifully transformed home. The room was above our expectation, with a large bedroom,/sitting area, separate bathroom and separate kitchen. Breakfast was amazing. I wanted to stay longer so I could eat my way through the menu. Friendly owner who made you feel welcomed. Thank you

Shambala room at Tantarra
Lovely relaxed atmosphere with pool and garden surrounds. Spacious room with SE Asian themed decorations, friendly hosts and delicious cooked breakfast. Great package all round - thanks.

OK i you like uncleanliness and doggie smells
We arrived at this establishment to be greet by a note and key at the front door, despite the operator being present. I expect better upon arrival so spoke with the operator and got the impression that human contact was not on their agenda. The whole place needs tidying as there were leaves and dirt at the front of the unit, I had to shake the mat which was filthy. Once inside I almost vomited by the dog smell (I cant understand how operators are permitted to allow dogs inside rooms, probably sleeping the the bed). I had nowhere else to go so I endured it. I headed around to the back for breakfast as the dog smell was there too, there was nowhere to go to avoid it. The pool was full but had many heaves and dirt floating and on the bottom - something that I would never swim in. All in all, it was the worst experience I have encountered in the many months of travelling throughout OZ. It should be closed down.

Lovely ambience to a quite place excellent food
Lovely place, very friendly hostess, excellent breakfast. Quite and peaceful with no traffic. Lovely ambience to the place, a little out of the way but that is probably why it is lovely and peaceful. Advise people to arrive early so that you can find it.

Very nice and peaceful
Very nice quaint hotel the room i had was rather large and spacious it was a shame due to my travel scheduling i arrived late and had to leave early and missed breakfast. I would have loved to meet the owners. I will hopefully be staying again next time i travel along the coast.

Perfect B&B close to Lake Macquarie
Serena & Kim were very accommodating with our checkin times and gave us a very comfortable unit, The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast next morning was excellent. The configuration of the sitting room wasn't as cozy or private as I'd hoped and the bathroom was very compact. However all was functional and clean. The bedroom was well laid out with a small courtyard.
The perfect spot for an overnight stay when attending an event near the Lake.
