Guest Comments

""Hello Luba and Chris,
I want you to know that meeting you and enjoying your hospitality at Practically Lakeside B&B was a highlight of our visit to Australia. We tell everyone of the extraordinary efforts you made so that we could see the most and best of Canberra. Although we don’t have a B&B on offer we would be pleased to have you as guests in our home to repay your kindness. So saddle up and come see the Canadian Rockies. Ron does a marvellous barbeque! Thank you for the follow up on Yarralumla."

"We are so happy we did not choose to stay in a hotel. This was the perfect place for biking (into town and back as well as around the lake), writing, working in archives and having a good time. We will recommend your B&B to anyone. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!" Jan Anders & Mari-Ann from Lillehammer, Norway 20-24/11/10

"Luba & Chris, We want to thank you both for our stay in your B&B. We can't tell people enough about you both, the wonderful welcome, beautiful accommodation & relaxed atmosphere. P.S. Removalist will arrive Tuesday to pick up the bed. L.O.L" Ruth & Bill 8-9 Sept. 2010
