Conde Nast Traveler (US), May 2003, 80 Best New Hotels in the World Hot List: "The house, a classic example of Australian country splendour, dates from 1901, and the atmosphere is mi casa, su casa - nothing, including the spirits cabinet, is out of bounds."
Metropolis (Tokyo, Japan) March 7, 2003, Ned Goodwin: "...Like a duchess happy to have lost her way in such a gorgeous place... yet modern additions here and there straight out of Vogue Living, Malcolm has amassed a considerable cellar that may be perused, negotiated, purchased or just waxed over. Marianne, a transplanted bon vivant from the UK, New York and Africa, can also cook. The night we arrived, she had scored Coffin Bay oysters from the coast ... washed down with good local wine provided as part of the package."
The Age Magazine, Melbourne, October, 2003: "Although the trappings are impressive, the atmosphere is relaxed. For those who like to dine ‡ deux or are escaping from the need to socialise, alternative arrangements can be made. ...stretch out on the veranda with a book from the well-stocked library, take an invigorating country walk and listen to the unaccustomed silence."
The Weekend Australian: "Life at North Bundaleer is very relaxed. There's an open bar or a cuppa with home-baked cakes & biscuits always at hand; the handsome library is crammed with the latest magazines and journals from London."
Herald Sun, Melbourne. February 6, 2004: "Though all the suites are grand, the pick is the Red Room. It features a canopy bed, a private sitting room and drop-dead-gorgeous contemporary bathroom."
