I am a regular visitor to Tasmania. This is a great property with clean country cottage style accommodation. The pool table was handy for Teenagers. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

The property is in a lovely quiet location however it could do with more parking spaces and having the water pressure looked at in the showers also better lighting in the bathrooms .😊

We have a huge overflow parking area in front of the sheds near the main driveway. We are sorry you did not appreciate the upgrade to a two bedroom apartment. We should have given you the standard ensuite room which you actually booked.
