I stayed at Dempseys for the month of November as a long-term guest. I stayed in room 5. It was nothing but a pleasure. Cleanliness was top class. My host Kath gracious, kind and helpful. There is an info pack in each room with lots of useful information for tourists. I was made to feel totally at home and did not want for anything during my stay. My bed was very comfortable, my room was serviced up to three times a week depending on my needs. Fresh towels as required. My kitchenette fully equipped with all the essentials and more, bar fridge, toaster oven, microwave, toaster and kettle. The room had a TV, Fans, emergency lamp and Free WIFI. The premises is a tranquil garden with lots of bird life, perfect to unwind and relax. Eco aware, I love the focus on water conservation and recycling. Whether you are only in town for a few nights or need longer term accommodation, I would highly recommend this guest house. Top class service from the lovely Kath!

Nice room. Well equipped. Safe area. The hostess is so friendly and caring. See you next week again. Happy customers.
Response from Property: Thanks so much Neline, we are thrilled that you were 'happy customers' and that you were comfortable in your room. It was great to meet you and have you stay, you are both so easy to please and will always be welcome here. Apologies for missing seeing your review earlier than today, not sure why I did, I usually receive a notification of a new review. Best regards from Kathy and Team DGH.

A very warm welcome and the room was clean, neat and the kitchen lacked for nothing. I had a fantastic sleep! There is safe parking on the property. The external area is a delight with seating areas available to enjoy the incredible garden. So many different birds were spotted, I even had the fortunate experience of seeing an owl. Highly recommend Dempseys, not only for the amenities, but also for the warmth of the host Kathy who went above and beyond. I will definitely stay here again.
Response from Property: How wonderful to receive your top review EB! Thanks so very much, we appreciate your positive input and high recommendation, we are thrilled. Until next time, warm regards from Kathy and Team DGH. P.S. so chuffed that you saw the owl:)

No Tips everything is just perfect. Lovely guesthouse and Cathy is a super person to deal with! It is a quiet place, very peacefull and near our destination where we must have been! We had to be at the St Georges Hospital which is only 7 minutes away from the guest house, which suits us very well. Thankyou!!
Response from Property: Thank you to the Liddells for taking the time to share your good experiences of staying at DGH, sincerely appreciated. Please spread the word in your community, hoping to have you stay again soon. It was a pleasure to host you and wonderful chatting with you. Best from Kathy and Team DGH.

The place was welcoming at its own. Location is so good the owner was very much welcoming and giving us advices of where we can visite because of kids. The staff that helping the owner were extremely friendly. Garden well kept. The pets there some of my kids were afraid of those two cats I saw. But never thereless we will book the place next time probably this year in December again and we will stay longer.
Response from Property: Thank you Gift for taking the time to review us, we appreciate it greatly. It was a pleasure to have you and your family stay and we look forward to your next booking at DGH. Please spread the word about Dempsey's. About the two cats who like to visit, they are not our pets, they belong to distant neighbours, they come from good homes and are well fed, they just enjoy being here when it suits them and are inquisitive and loving. We try our best to keep them away from the rooms and ask guests not to encourage them into the rooms or to feed them but it is often a losing battle keeping the cats away. I apologize if their presence was a damper on your holiday. Best regards from Kathy and Team DGH.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Dempsey's Guest House on a recent business trip. The room is comfortable and the host, Kathy, is very welcoming. The location is ideal for my purposes: it is a five minute ride from the airport in a quiet, leafy suburb. I look forward to my next stay.
