Stayed here for one night on our way south to Melbourne for Easter. Had not booked ahead but called a few hours ahead from the road and Lynne was great booking us in at short notice. The brick room we had was small but this is a legacy of the time the building was built. Walls were so thick that... More

It is hard to describe how gorgeous this B and B is! We were very late (held up in traffic) but Lynne was wonderful and very understanding. Our room was so lovely - felt like stepping back in time but with modern luxury. Superbly clean. And breakfast! Wow! Thank you Lynne and Lindsay. Cant wait to return

Stayed for three nights, the building is a gem but we could not enjoyed much because we were touring around the region all day, rooms are small but with character the downside is that windows and door not shut properly we had a windy night and the door rattle, story short could not sleep.

Stayed with friends at this B & B. Totally loved the building and our two rooms. The beds were comfy, the pillows just right and the novetly of finding the bathroom behind the mirror was a treat. There was everything in the bathroom that you could have wanted, in the "Brick" room, even a little mural on the bathroom wall.... More

We were welcomed by Lynne who eagerly shared the interesting history of the Crown & Anchor Inn and showed us around, helping us to settle in. We were in the Red room, perhaps a little small, but full of charm. The bathroom hidden behind the full length mirror was well equipped with everything one would need. In the morning, before... More

The Window room aptly named presents a window to yesteryear. A period experience at the Crown & Anchor may help you feel like a time traveller instead of a princess highway tourist. As with all things in life, who you travel with is more important than your destination. Our hosts, Lyn and Lindsay were joyful and interesting companions with a... More

After a very enjoyable first visit, my wife and I were somewhat surprised and disappointed with the lukewarm reception and general hospitality the second time we stayed at the Crown and Anchor. The location is gorgeous, rooms are lovely but a bit small with all the antique bits and pieces in them. Breakfast is brilliant. Most telling though, given the... More

Thank you for your comments. We welcome constructive feedback. Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your second visit, especially after you “loved” your first stay only two months before. This second review took us by surprise. After having stayed in the Brick room the first time we thought you would love the Window room, which is our largest, most... More

My wife and I spent a wonderful three days relaxing and enjoying the ambience of the Crown & Anchor which was matched by the hospitality of Lindsay and Lyn.

The prime objective of our trip was whale watching in Eden, but I must admit, I was equally excited about staying at the Crown & Anchor! And my expectations were met even before we arrived, with some helpful advice from Lindsay about places to eat, if we were to arrive late, and so on. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted... More

Crown & Anchor Inn located in Eden is the perfect halfway stop between Melbourne & Sydney if travelling the coast road. We prefer to stay in B&B's or guesthouse rather than motels as there is more room to spread about and you get to meet other travellers as well as your hosts. The Crown & Anchor is a historic inn...
