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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
