The Bucket Tree Lodge was quiet and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The bed was very comfortable. There was a bit of a problem with the shower in that it didn't have enough fall and so the floor had to be protected by towels, but the owners were working on having the shower replaced so it won't be an ongoing problem :)

Very helpful staff. When I called to advise I would be late, there was no issue. On arrival I was advised I had been put into a different room - to move me away from a noisy group. When I checked out, the owner asked if I had been bothered by any noise. I failed to pack everything, so the owner called me and held my items until I was able to pick them up later that day. I've stayed there before and was happy to stay again, I anticipate I will stay again in the future. Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff.

I really enjoyed my stay. The Bucket Tree is very iconic, with colonial style architecture, lovely park-like surroundings and that giant bucket-shaped tree in front. I arrived in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, so really appreciated the warm and cosy room. I had a separate bedroom with a very comfortable bed. Beautiful kitchenette and bathroom. Everything was lovely and clean and the service was great. I stayed for two nights and my room was cleaned each day. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Pros:property is very close to the main highway. Property is close to train station. While its not 5 star,beds and rooms are clean and comfortable. Cons:Parking is average but due to location is not really the fault of the lodge. Lodge is right next to the train line.

Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back.
