"11-14 April 2016 Thank you Chris & Luba for a delightful stay. We really appreciated the comfortable bed, the friendly, helpful information, chats, port, choccies, tea and bickies. It was also lovely to sit outside in your peaceful garden enjoying the birds. We thoroughly enjoyed the hearty breakfast too. Thanks again." Anne & mark Charlestown NSW
"Hi Luba & Chris,
Cheryl and I would like to thank you for our wonderful stay at your house in mid-October. You may remember us - we were the twins and were on our way south to the Snowy 60th reunion in Cooma, where we had a fabulous time! Anyway, you were delightful company, made us feel welcome, and your apartment was lovely. Thank you for helping us out with directions, too. Our entire stay in Australia was just wonderful and we have fond memories of people we met and of places we stayed, like Practically Lakeside B&B." Carol & Cheryl ... California
"Dear Luba, Chris, Honeybelle & Aggie, we have had the most wonderful holiday in your truly lovely B&B and city. Your hospitality and accommodation rate 100 out of 10 and the extra special touches of fresh flowers, robes etc have made Practically Lakeside the best B&B we've ever stayed in! We will definitely be back and will be telling our friends and family about this beautiful piece of "paradise." Thank you, thank you!" Anthony & Leanne Victoria 27/9-1/10 2011
