Darling Lodge Guest House: Garden and Tree Suite

The accommodation closest to a hotel you’ll get in the town’s quiet historical centre, Darling Lodge Guest House has nine rooms – all different from each other, and inspired by local artists. The guest house is an elegant Victorian charmer, with its wide front veranda and magnificent garden – a heady profusion of roses, lavender, bougainvillea and pepper and palm trees.

The three standard rooms in the main house are more country-style, with brass beds and Victorian baths. The newer garden annex has a more modern sensibility and boasts three more rooms, while a separate building houses three spacious suites featuring a private lounge and verandah overlooking the pool (Pool Suite) and garden (Garden and Tree Suites).

Guests can relax outdoors, in the guest lounge (with Netflix) or library, and help themselves to drinks from the honesty bar. A lovely breakfast is served daily, and a concierge service supports your planning of Darling adventures.
