Belle Oaks Inn - Gonzales

Our room was a magnificent period piece, adorned with lovely old photographs in gilded frames and featuring a massive, beautiful bed. The modern bathroom, TV, coffee maker, and fridge added to the comfort of our stay. Although we didn't use them, the snacks and cold drinks provided by our host were a nice touch. In the evenings, we enjoyed relaxing on the lovely communal balcony at the front of the house, serenaded by the sounds of local birds. Breakfast was freshly prepared by Rob's partner, Monica, and it was an absolute delight—perfect home-cooked food to start our day. In the morning, we took a stroll around the back of the property, where we admired more beautiful greenery and a small pool. Check-out was a breeze, and Rob and Monica personally saw us off with smiles and warm wishes. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a unique and enjoyable experience.

This place is wonderful! Monica's breakfast was incredible, and Rob provided a fascinating history lesson. I highly recommend it. Rooms: 5/5

I stayed here for my birthday weekend to visit the Shiner Brewery, and it was an incredible experience! The hotel is steeped in history, and the pool was fantastic after a hot day. I highly recommend this place! Rooms: 5/5

Wonderful stay at this palatial property. The view from the outside is of a grand private residence that looks stunning with it's wrought iron gates, long driveway and well manicured gardens. We were greeted warmly by host Rob, who we asked to give a brief history of the property and Rob gave us all the essential info. A brief tour of this grand house, again at our request, we saw all the period pieces accumulated by the current owners, all kept in great condition. It was like walking into a living house from times gone by, but with modern amenities, microwave, fully stocked kitchen etc. The room itself was a grand period piece, the room full of lovely old pictures in gilded frames, a massive beautiful bed with present day bathroom and TV, coffee maker and fridge. Snacks and cold drinks in the host were welcomed, if not used. You can sit on a lovely communal large balcony at the front of the house in the evening and relax to the sounds of the local birds. Breakfast was freshly cooked by Robs partner Monica, and it was a real treat. Great home cooked food to start the day. A walk around the rear of the property in the morning gave us a chance to look at more lovely greenery and a small pool. Check out was easy and the hosts personally saw us off with a smile and warm wishes. We would highly recommend this property.

The caretakers are sweet and the breakfast is sooo good. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxing. Has a great pool and is in a quiet area! We plan to come back next year and maybe make this a yearly thing now.
