The owners of Robe House enjoy providing some a little special for those who are lucky enough to stay at this historic property. We only stayed one night which was not enough but if you want good accommodation with a romantic sense of the time of the first European settlers, this is the place for you. Modern facilities but Victorian... More

Thanks Guys for your great review. As owners of an old building, it is so rewarding for us when our guests appreciate what we are trying to do. Back in the 1840's Robe really was a pioneering village, and it is that essence that we have tried to preserve at Robe House. Most of Robe's oldest buildings still remain, so... More

...only had a one night stay in this delightful property, very tranquil, historical building with real atmosphere. Arrived out of hours but acquiring keys to the room couldn't have been easier, spotlessly clean, first rate provisions for breakfast and an owner and staff who obviously love the place. A real tonic after the over pretentious Barossa Valley, a bit different,... More

Hi Andrew, thanks for taking the time to review Robe House. Many of our guests wish that they could spend another night with us, as most don't arrive until late, and like yourselves have to push off early the next morning. Robe is a very pretty coastal town of around 1000 people, and we are very fortunate to have so... More

We recently stayed here for one night as part of our trip from Melbourne to Adelaide. This is beautifully presented and furnished period style accommodation - some people may not be used to this and think it a bit 'different' but as English people we felt right at home. Clean and well equipped. Owners are low key and do not... More

Thanks for your review of Robe House. Many of our guests comment about Robe House being just like an old English home. This is probably due to the fact that Robe was settled in the 1840's largely by new Australian's or English men and women who in many cases replicated their old homes in England. As hosts we are on... More

At the end of a long drive Robe House was a very welcome resting place. Little to do in Robe itself but it does have a certain charm. Our apartment at Robe House was well equipped and spotless and the owners charming and helpful. An added bonus - free wifi connection - larger establishments please note!

Robe House is 2 minutes from the beach front and the main street through Robe. There is very little in Robe apart from a few cafes and a rather nice art/crafts shop. My room had a gorgeous wrought iron bed, a well stocked kitchen area and a bathroom. All very clean and comfortable. There was fresh bread in the fridge,... More

On arrival we were greeted by our charming host who showed us all the faclities available. The old building has been tastefully adapted to provide en-suite facilities.
