Boutique Villa in Richmond This boutique bed & breakfast is an historic, Italianate villa restored to capture the essence of the European pension. The house has a colourful history. Built in 1885 as the private residence of the distinguished architect John Bernard Augustus Koch, in 1896 the property was purchased by the Church of England for use as an orphans' home. It later became the home of the Anglican Archbishop, Field Flowers-goe, the Moulin Rouge massage parlour, and more recently a doctor's surgery. Located in cosmopolitan inner-city Richmond, minutes from the Melbourne CBD, the boutique B&B offers individually styled bedrooms with en-suites and modern facilities. Features include fine bed linen, antiques and contemporary furnishings and original art works and artefacts. Accommodation includes a gourmet breakfast. |

Boutique Hotel at Potts Point This gracious and elegant boutique hotel in the historic Potts Point district combines arts & crafts architectural heritage with a delightful bed & breakfast experience. Located within walking distance of Darlinghurst and the Sydney CBD, the building was erected as a mansion in 1892. Its architecture is very relevant to the English Queen Anne style and Arts and Crafts Movement of that period - typified by its many nooks and crannies, and use of red brick and moulded timber as distinct features. Today, the hotel's 19th century interiors and warm hospitality offer more comfort and charm than the usual chain hotels. Individually and tastefully furnished, each of the twelve rooms bears its own unique style and personality. While there is an extensive library and a computer for complimentary use in the drawing room, a continental breakfast buffet is offered in the Conservatory each morning. |
