"We had our wedding here and stayed for 5 days - and it was an absolute dream. Set in the most peaceful valley, Steve has gone above and beyond in restoring this gem of a place. Bedrooms are so comfy, large kitchen with everything you need, and so many spaces to chill out both indoors and amongst nature, we had the best time with our bridal party getting ready and celebrating. Such a unique spot and a short drive to the Settlers Arms where we had our reception (definitely worth the visit). It's one in a million, and I can't wait to come back again!"
"Best Wedding Venue Ever. so much fun was had. really enjoyed and embraced the vibe at this place. All the Character has been kept but with modern touches. Had heaps of fun. My only complaint was I wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Steve again."
"If you are looking to elope or have a big wedding, then you have to come to St Joseph’s Guesthouse. It was the perfect setting to start our new life as husband & wife. The guesthouse is the perfect location, from every window you got to take in the beautiful views. The peaceful surroundings made you forget the hustle and bustle of city life. Thank you so much Steve for everything. We had the best 2 days!!! We will be back every year to celebrate."
"What an incredible place. For hubby & I on a quick midweek break away this gem was just what the doctor ordered. It’s rustic & charming from the front door to the grounds. The bed was ultra comfy & Ensuite clean & quite spacious. There’s something to catch your intrigued at every turn. We had so much fun pointing out to each other quirky little relics that are to be seen throughout the property. The kitchen provides anything you could possibly need to self-cater. The media room is comfortable & roomy. We loved sitting & listening to the beautiful birdsong from both the upper outdoor area under the steeple & the massive deck. The restoration is a credit to Steve as we’ve been travelling out to St Albans for decades now showing our friends & family the Settlers Arms. The Thursday night “Pot Luck” dinner was delicious as expected from this great little historic pub. To watch the transformation unfold over the years is nothing but inspirational. Thank you for bringing it back to life & we hope to be able to spend more nights there with friends in the future. We loved every aspect of St Joseph’s."
