25 year celebration
Large open house, in a great location with amazing views.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at “house on the hill” relaxing in the main dining/lounge area. Unfortunately the weather did not permit us to utilise the great outdoor facilities.

Wonderful location
The location and view were fantastic. The family loved the big table, and open lounge area. It's very convenient to Hobart and the range of wildlife around the streets and the garden were amazing (pademelons? quolls? wallabies? Pretty sure we saw them all).
Oh boy the hill and driveway are steep, and difficult for older guests to walk or drive in the evening or after rain.
We loved the deck and the overall view. A lovely house and friendly hosts.
