Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional stay.”

“Hosted a baby shower at Patio Rose recently for a large group of ladies. It was such a great choice of venue and the high tea eats and treats were delicious. Marija and her team did a fantastic job making us feel special and that the Piccolo room was setup up before we arrived. Highly recommend this hidden gem!”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Super tidy, clean, comfortable and central accommodation. And what I mean by that is possibly the cleanest and freshest place I have stayed at in a long time. Speaking to the owners in the morning it is approx 5 years old, so credit to the cleaners and maintenance team as this literally feels brand new. Bed and pillows were comfortable, the kitchen has literally everything you need if staying for slightly longer in a super cute, compact and functional kitchenette. I would def recommend for work trips, both short and longer. Couples escapes (try get harbour views if couples), or solo mental health get aways.”
