Historic site on Home island that has much potential but needs work to bring it up to a standard for travelling public as interior was dark, old and run down in some areas. Price per room based on one person- surcharge charged for each additional person. We (two of us) used the same bed- had not have this happen at other accommodation and would understand if additional beds used but wasn't the case. Bedding was clean and bathroom older but clean. Room was big but some improvements with lighting for reading and relaxing would be helpful. Our host, Shovel, was excellent. Met us at the airport and made our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. Very down to earth, helpful and friendly. Has some good ideas for how the placed could run. Made sure we got to all our ferries and entertained us but wasn't intrusive. Also arranged a fantastic local meal at a reasonable price for us- thanks! This place really could do with a clear out of junk and equipment that isn't needed and a spruce up and spring clean as there is huge potential here.

Thank you for your comments. I am glad Shovel is doing a good job. In regards to the extra price for a double room. We consider the room price is the price we charge for “the double room”. The “single price” is a special discounted rate which most people don’t offer. We have a lot of contractors working on Home Island who stay for longer periods and I also feel “single travellers” get it rough having to pay for two people all the time. It is a different way of doing things, but if we didn’t offer the “single discount” they would be paying the Room Price, which is the ‘double.’ I will update this information where I can. Many booking agents only give you boxes to tick and no opportunity to include extra information.
