If B&B is your thing, then this is the place to go! Clean and inviting with fresh decor and the hosts are friendly without being intrusive. There is a lovely Italian restaurant literally a minute’s walk away and all on the beautiful Sapphire Beach. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful rainforest location, with walks about 100 metres away. Lovely village with many browsing shops. Good eating places. The hosts very helpful and discrete. Large, airy clean rooms with beautiful private outlooks onto the garden. Purpose built B&B with lots of internal areas to increase your comfort.

Phyllis and Robert were lovely hosts and the breakfast was fantastic, it kept us fuelled for the day! The location of the property is gorgeous, secure and quiet. Our friends who booked in more conveniently in the town area never got a good nights sleep. So it was worth the extra 10mins drive. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach and there is also a very nice local cafe at the end of the street. Would recommend and would definately stay here again.

Thanks for hosting us earlier this week, it was a very pleasant stay and a great spot to break up the drive from Sydney to Brisbane as it is minutes off the highway. A very comfortable spot despite being an unusally cold winter and you are definitely spoiled for choice for breakfast options, Rob cooks up a mean scrambled eggs.

Perfect place to us for stop overnight on the way from Sunshine Coast to Sydney. Convenient location close enough to the main highway yet in the very quiet location. It is a private well maintained property on a suburban street but only a very short walk to the beach with a nice park in front of the house. Bedrooms are nice, very clean, bathrooms are modern with white towels. Small fridge and tea/coffee facilities are in the room. The best is hot and cold breakfast that travellers don't experience in any hotels. The hosts are very nice and generous, even gave us home-made banana bread for our travel. We did not use the pool as it was cold and dark outside. In cold or very hot days you can use air-conditioning, but we like our windows open. It was everything we needed after a long day drive.

Thank you Danielle, While not the safest place to swim, provided you take care the risks are worth it. As with all beaches that are unpatrolled we feel we have an obligation to point out the dangers of swimming where there are no patrols, hence the reservations about safety. Happy you enjoyed brekky, did you sample Phyllis' banana bread? Thank you again for such a generous review All the best Rob and Phyllis Sapphire Chambre B&B

We lived a room not comply with fire safety regulations. did not install the heat detector and a smoke alarm. A smoke alarm installed outside the common area, it is not good enough. The room door is not fire rated door. To lease out the room for individual gusts must be fire rated door. The shower door can't open fully. the toilet too close to the shower glass panel not 1 meter wide, night time you must very carefully to use the toilet. the room too small didn't have standard table and chair, the TV installed too high on the wall, make very hard to watch the TV. The stair turning to first floor the turning point is too narrow, minimum should be 1 meter, not comply with access safety regulations. the bed sheets and quilt cover very poor quality, did not comply with 3 and 1/2 rate. misleading peoples to booking the "room" with not standard furniture's and do not comply safety issues on the internet. suggest to take off 3 1/2 rate on the intent. The room and toilet still new and clean. The property owner Ms Phyllis Harris she is nice and baked good banana cake.

So sorry you found our facility disappointing. No comment is made regarding the misinformation you have conveyed except to say that in nearly 5 years of operation we have not had any complaints about the configuration of our rooms. We are a small family run enterprise that strives to provide guests with a pleasant and comfortable experience. Unfortunately we have not succeeded in that respect in your case. As for compliance with regulations, we must say your comments are incorrect and do not represent a true reflection of what is expected of bed and breakfast accommodation. Sapphire Chambre B&B is not a hotel and does not profess to be one. The furniture and linen is reasonably new and of good quality as are the fittings and fixtures in the room. Once again we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us.
