We found Beilby's from the widely available New South Wales Bed and Breakfast guide which, we have since discovered, is comprised of reviews written by the proprietors. Beilby's is certainly reasonably priced, the rooms are very nice and the location excellent, but the overall experience is disappointing. One accepts that Band B is more intimate than staying in a hotel, after all this is someone's home, but Eric, the petty German proprietor virtually patrols the premises, monitoring everything one does, including checking the fridge every time one uses it and various "rules" such as only using the dishwasher for breakfast pots, not using the guest kitchen/dining room after nine, only using the washer before 6pm slowly irritate. And additional charges ($11Aus to use the washing machine, and Aus$4 for 30 minutes on the internet) soon mount up.
Our three day special was supposed to include a complimentary barbecue pack. We are still waiting for it. And the pool, which could be lovely, was dirty with no attempt made to remove a plethora of dead flies and insects throughout our three day stay.
This was the only poor experience we had in three weeks of wonderful Australian hospitality at a number of simply outstanding Band Bs.
