Addlestone House

The East Coast


This immaculate, 100-year-old B&B (transported here a while ago from nearby Mathinna) is an excellent option. Two guest rooms are beautifully decorated (a tad lacy), there’s a snug guest lounge, and the host is a charming gent (a photographer, who'll snap your portrait then email it to you). Easily the nicest place to stay in this neck of the woods.
