Unfortunately there was a dead ant in the sugar and we cleaned the ac filters as the heat pump was making a horrible sound. The fan motor in the heat pump required repair or something as each time the heat pump fan turned on it would make a humming sound - if you’re a light sleeper this will keep you up all night, if you’re a heavy sleeper not a worry. The staff were friendly and in general taking out the lack of sleep due to the heat pump was a good accommodation

Dear Reviewer Anonymous reviews are difficult as we do not know when you stayed or in which unit... We are deeply sorry that you found an ant in the sugar. Being that there generally are no ants this time of year, perhaps it may have been a small grain of coffee. It certainly is a pity that you were unable to sleep with the heating on, perhaps the electric blanket and fluffy doona would have kept you warm while sleeping and you could have turned the air conditioner off. We quarterly clean the 2 filters in each air-conditioning unit and they are also serviced regularly, the humming noise is to be expected but I'm sorry that it was a bother to you. We are glad that you were happy with our staff and the other offerings in our unit. Keep well Ilan

The Property was very clean but it was dated and in need of refurbishment. The blanket had burn holes in it and there was a board duck taped to the back of the glass door to block the light out. Also only dam and bore water available to shower in. Access and parking was easy. You get what you pay for. It was cheap and affordable and served our purpose.

Dear Guest, We are experiencing a severe drought in Tasmania. There is no town water provided anywhere on the Tasman Peninsula. At the Ecovillage we harvest our own water. Unfortunately our creek/spring water supply has dried up this summer and we use filtered dam water for our showers and toilets. The water has a light brown colour due to vegetation (tannins). It is visually unattractive, however completely harmless. Unfortunately, most of the properties on the Tasman Peninsula are experiencing the same issue. We hope that you understand and that the remainder of your holiday experience was enjoyable.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property, we are pleased that you enjoyed our lovely surroundings and had a pleasant stay with us. The Cafe is no longer a part of the Motel and is owned and managed by a separate business but I am sure they will love to hear your happy feedback and I will pass it on to them.

I like the price range and the quietness. Please remove the photos of the spa and swimming pool in the website since they have not been for 2 years, and it's misleading.
