The pool is overrated, not heated and quite dirty. You will need to turn on the robovac to clean it before use.

Clearly not maintained. Apart from making the property "Look" great, it's really not very functional or useful.

The house was great, excellent kitchen amenities, good location and we had a great time.

The room furnishings are a little dated and we had to air out the home as it was smelling a little musky/mouldy.

Hot water shower was erratic and clearly has a mind of its own.

Not far from the Searoad Ferry Terminal, this location offers all you'll need to enjoy a stop-over before/after your crossing. Drive over to  nearby Cheviot Beach to see if there are any more submarines lurking about, trying to snaffle another Australian PM!

Top spot to stay over on the peninsula.

Booked last minute via booking.com at a very good rate. Here's the caveat. 1) This is shared accomodation with own rooms and shared bathrooms 2) Contact to owner is via mobile to gain access via key code on door 3) Although wi-fi is advertised you have to request the code from owner, we did via text and got reply after we had left.

That said the accomodation is spacious and clean. Great location too with quick walk to Sorrento centre. This would make a great party house and probably more akin to an Air b'nb property. You take pot luck on who other guests may be and those we met were all very friendly. The king size bed was very comfortable and the silence is noteable with absence of air conditioning. Great for a one night stop with no problems.

Nice place - "it is what it says on the tin"

location is fine...beware of being overcharged at checkout even though you are quoted pricing at booking and confirmation. make sure it is in writing...the office is not interested after the fact. 
the rooms have no air conditioning...they will offer a small fan if you request it.

booking: beware of being overcharged for room rate after check out!!

Normally I would start a review by mentioning the reception. In this case there is no reception in person, but by phone (foreigners better set up Skype or whatsapp for free calls). Host is available (and answering) upon call.

Once we had entered by using the key-code, we were surprised by the stylish interior of the spacious living/kichen area.

Kitchen equipment is extensive.
There is a terrace with barbie in the garden.

Room is more basic and functional, but clean. Bed of reasonable quality. 

With 6 rooms for over 20 people it is a bit heary.

Nice place 5 min walk to Main Street.

Stylish

SBH is easy to find and in an ideal spot near the lively main strip in Sorrento; close to all the shops, cafes, restaurants, banks and cinema. On arrival at the accomodation, you have to phone the owners, who give you the code to get in the front door. We had room 2, with a large comfortable bed and spacious ensuite with a big walk-in shower.There is a communal kitchen with ample eating space for many people. There are all the necessary facilities to prepare a meal eg, fridge, microwave, oven, toaster, kettle and plenty of pots/pans, cutlery, crockery and wine glasses. There is also a loungeroom with TV and wood fire.Outside,there is a BBQ area and parking area out the front. The only problem with staying in a shared accomodation, is that it can be hit or miss with the other guests. Unfortunately, we had a rather rowdy bunch, which resulted in an interrupted nights sleep.
