The lounge is yours too
Downstairs, the lounge opens onto the courtyard and the old acacia tree that gave the house its name. Tea, coffee and fruit are out from 07:00 until 22:00, and each room has its own shelf in the guest fridge.
Guests read the paper here, plan the day with our hand drawn map of the town, or work at the long table by the window. After reception closes the lounge stays open, quietly, for anyone who cannot sleep.
- Tea, coffee and fruit through the day
- Guest fridge and a microwave
- Long table with power points
- Books, games and town guides

How a stay request works
Four steps from sending your dates to handing back the key.
Send your dates
Choose a room type, add your arrival and departure dates and the number of guests.
Hear back within two hours
Between 07:00 and 22:00 reception confirms the room or offers the closest match. Overnight requests are answered by 08:00.
Arrive from 14:00
Reception is staffed until 22:00. Arriving later? We text you a door code and leave your key in a named envelope.
Leave your bags

A look around
The courtyard, the rooms and the breakfast table at Acacia Court.
Guests on their stay (example reviews)
Spotless room, a quiet night and a proper breakfast before the early bus. Walking into town took no time at all, even with a suitcase.
We stayed two weeks while our father was in hospital. The weekly rate helped, and the staff asked after him every single morning.
Room for all four of us, and the courtyard kept the children busy while we finished our coffee. Good value so close to the centre.
Good to know before you arrive
Is there parking?
Eight spaces behind the house are given out in order of arrival, at $5 a night. The town car park at the end of the street is open around the clock.
Do you take longer stays?
Yes, many guests stay for work or while family is in hospital. From seven nights the rate drops by 15 percent, rooms are still cleaned daily and the bed linen is changed every third day.
Are children welcome?
Yes. The family room sleeps four, and we lend a cot and a high chair at no charge. The courtyard is closed off from the street, so children can play while you finish breakfast.
Can guests with limited mobility stay?
The family room and one double are on the ground floor, reached from the courtyard without steps. That double has a walk in shower with a seat and grab rails.
Is it quiet at night?
Quiet hours run from 22:00 to 07:00, and every bedroom faces the courtyard or the garden rather than the street.
How do cancellations work?
Cancel by 14:00 on the day before arrival and there is nothing to pay. Where the first night was paid in advance, it is refunded if you cancel three days or more ahead.
Request a stay
Tell us the room type, your dates and how many are coming. Reception answers within two hours between 07:00 and 22:00 to confirm the room, and requests sent overnight are answered first thing.
- No deposit for stays of up to three nights
- The weekly rate applies from the seventh night
- Breakfast included in every rate
