We stayed in the Waratah cottage. So beautiful inside and out. Beautifully furnished. Very cosy and comfortable. Lovely little touches. A very enjoyable stay. Bonus was a beautiful walk in robe/ dressing room to unpack all your luggage without all the clutter in your room.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivulet, Sandy Bay. Within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and close enough to drive to Battery Point and Salamanca. The Corinna room and bathroom are beautifully designed and furnished. The continental breakfast was sensational!

Perfect

Amazing place and outstanding service. The place is beautiful: elegant colonial building and the beautifully furnished rooms. We spent 4 nights at the spacious regatta suite. Breakfast was excellent and Denise was very kind - it was nice to dine together with the other guests and chat. The only downsides are that the place is located on a busy road across from a gas station. Yet, once you are inside you cannot hear that.

Our room on the 2nd floor was great, very clean and comfortable. The building itself is heritage and as you enter it there’s a distinct musty smell. We didn’t have this problem in our room, but our windows were completely fogged every morning. Breakfast was good. Overall, a pleasant experience.
