I was a bit worried about our girls' weekend for 10 after reading some of the earlier Tripadvisor reviews. Those reviews might have been accurate in the minor detail but they have missed the big picture. Barrenjoey House is a unique and wonderful experience. The building is old but it is a treasure trove of beautiful things and has a... More

Ours was the two night package, the food and service in the restaurant was faultless. The bedroom was very pokey and noisy from the diners below very small wardrobe with no full length mirror, traffic noise all night, window had a big crack in it and I had to ask for assistance to close the blind. No soap for the... More

We rented frangipani house a few doors down from barrenjoey house. Frangipani house is included in barrenjoeys property. It's a sweet little house with two bedrooms, newly renovated with lovely furniture... you need to look past the grass that was about 1/2 meter high with bits of rubbish scattered about. A good kitchen equipped with nespresso coffee machine , although... More

We had a completely wonderful meal - very well cooked and presented. The chips (chilli) were delicious. My wife had the veg pasta and I had the steak sandwich with salad. This is a gem and stood apart from a lot of the cooking we experienced over 6 weeks in Austrailia.

We didn't stay the night, and wouldn't even consider it after having had a totally disappointing lunch and visit to the men's toilets. Chips were soggy and mealy, steak was tender as a shoe-sole. Service personnel is of the twenty something "can't really be bothered" type. The stench of urine in the men's toilets just topped it off. Superb location... More

Greeted by grumpy staff. Our room on the back of the building looked out on a storage area, with enough stuff stacked against our windows to totally block air flow. Room was a bit shabby, very hot, and had no fresh air. Even if windows let in air, there was no way to get flow through the room. Couldn't wait... More

My husband and have just spent two nights at Barrenjoey House for our wedding anniversary. We were really looking forward to the trip. It really saddens me to write this review because this place has the potential to be so so good, and it was a collective of little things which could be easily rectified which left our overall experience...

We had a wedding in Palm Beach and therefore booked well in advance, 8 months to be precise. Credit card details were taken and three rooms were booked to ensure that a group of friends had a place to stay, as securing accommodation in the area, especially around the peak season that is school holidays and Christmas, would be challenging...

Just moved to the area and this is so far the best place I have found to have a drink and a meal whilst being in gorgeous surroundings. Have been 3 times - each time perfect. The food is so fresh and beautifully made plus the staff are really lovely and make you feel so welcome. Whoever is in charge... More
