Ithaca 1896

I stayed one night in a room with a double bunk. Adequate storage. Everything worked but there were no cups for the tea and coffee. It was clean and quiet and that's what I wanted. As for location - reasonably close to the beach and not too long a walk to the main street of town.

Stayed in the lodge it was dark, grotty, smelt, noisey, felt like a halfway house. Room small no water supplied so had to get water from lodge main bathroom. My partner accidentally used the womans bathroom and the lodge cleaner went ballistic, could have handled it so much more professionally, it was an honest mistake the hallway so dark we didn't see the sign. Room should have been $50 unfortunately it was alot more than that. Place gross you deserve better, avoid.

The Ithaca Manor & Motel is a beautiful heritage building, close to the beach and to everything in Busselton. My room was well equipped, though the male shared bathroom and shower could use a bit of maintenance – but couldn’t we all? Nothing dramatic. The common room was adequately equipped with drinking water, kettles and cutlery. The lady at reception felt a little superficial, which explains why some reviewers were unhappy. Still, the charm of the building outweighs the negatives sides.

The staff went way beyond anything you would expect Highly recommend

Great place, fantastic value for money, nice private room, close to the jetty.

Good value Very comfortable bed with microwave, jug, aircon in room. Nice bedding.

Beds were under par Rm15 Rm 17. Foam mattresses densities were too thin in my room & double bed in the triple room too. I chose a double bed on this site but ended up with a "basic twin" which was Bunk Beds not separate twin beds - very badly worded description. Being a senior the bunks were not suitable. They were also made for children as slates were a foot apart with a netting in between. I was able to get an inner spring changed on my bunk. No kitchen sink in the common room either.

There was blood on our bed linen. In Which is totally unacceptable. EVEN ON BOTH BEDS. 9am the staff was having a big and very loud argument. Who can be so unprofessional to stand and yell early in the morning when paying guests are sleeping....! Do you think guest care about your bad management? And even 9 in the morning?????? So respect less... Paying 110$ pr night for blood in both beds from some stranger and hearing arguments in the morning TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!

Decent place to stay. A remarkable old building, very nice to see it still used to good effect. Rather pleasant gardens.
