The breakfast was healthy delicious and pretty to the eye, as is every aspect of this lovely old Queenslander. The hosts Stan and Marion care about their guests and make you feel very welcome in their beautiful home.

My husband & I stayed here when we were visiting friends in Rockhampton a couple of weeks ago. The rooms were spacious and very well appointed, lovely wide verandas on which to relax and enjoy breakfast. When the Rockhampton heat gets too much there is also a delightful lounge room or refreshing pool in which to while away the time.... More

We stayed in the Athelstane House during our three-week trip along the east coast of Australia and were completely blown away by the lovely interior and the friendly owners. This is way more than "just" a B&B, it was a trip back in time in Rockhampton. The complete house and all furniture was "frozen in time" and it feels 100... More

Stan & Marion were really friendly and gracious hosts, the house was in excellent condition and beautifully put together. Every tiniest detail was very considerate, like range of bedding in... More

Stan and Marion were excellent and helpful hosts, and they have lovingly restored this outstanding heritage accommodation with beautiful furnishings and artwork, while including all modern conveniences and delicious breakfast. Our room had French doors onto the wrap around verandah, with lovely views over the garden and across the city, and was very quiet. The house is up on the... More

Where do I start? Stan and Marion were an absolute pleasure and took great care of us. The room was nicely decorated and extremely comfortable. The shower in the bathroom is probably the best shower I have ever had in my life, incredible. We only stayed in Rockhampton as a stopover but decided to head out for a bite and... More
