This is an absolutely beautiful, luxurious accommodation. We stayed in room 1, the spacious two bedroom apartment upstairs. With a large, airy, open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, every room was immaculate, beautifully appointed and well-equipped with everything you might need for a very comfortable stay. A gorgeous ocean view, a large balcony deck for enjoying the views, and very lovely, gracious hosts. If you're coming to NW Tassie, this is a very fine place to stay. Highly recommended.

Unique decor, large open plan space. Beautiful waterfront views, in the centre of town for exploring. IGA and bakery very close by. A little hard to find clear signage for the property and parking. No freezer in the mini fridge.
