Reid’s Place in the heart of Scarborough suburbia is both a vintage wedding venue and a luxurious bed and breakfast perfect for lovebirds. The colonial-style Queenslander features tasteful décor harking back to a bygone era with polished timber flooring and touches of elegance throughout.
The luxuriously spacious, yet cosy feeling, colonial-fashioned cottages are bright and breezy, and come complete with a double spa bath and balcony doors which open up onto a wrap-around veranda.
Your hosts, Beth and Rob Reid, will take wonderful care of all your needs during your time in their beautiful home.

Mount Mee Country Inn exudes a nostalgic feel, its colonial-style décor harking back to the days of old with the b&bs eclectic assortment of charming British knick-knacks and colourful decorations stealing the show – from the pub’s hanging ceiling mug collection to the various brewery artworks adorning the pub’s lounge area walls.
