The Mountain Grand Guesthouse This old-fashioned guesthouse has been
brought up to a comfortable three-and-a-half star standard. These days it’s promoting
itself as a business retreat, and as such tourists who turn up get all the
benefits of those added corporate extras, such as exceptional service. The Balconies
Restaurant overlooks the garden and valley. The owner is a keen musician,
and every Saturday night professional musicians provide music to dine by.
Later, they move downstairs to the Limelight Cafe/Bar and play till late.
The guesthouse offers a 2-day getaway package costing A$218 (US$142) for
two, with a Devonshire Tea, a three-course dinner, a buffet breakfast, and a
gourmet picnic lunch, and champagne and chocolates thrown in.
Some rooms are quite small, but furnished with country-style furniture and
double beds. All have an en suite bathroom. There are also larger rooms, some
of which have a spa. There are several lounge rooms and “conversation nooks,”
all with TVs and dataports. Children are not allowed.
