Independent - accommodation in Styx

Well located to Mt Fields. It is a Large 2 BR even if we only needed 1. Very dated, poorly maintained, and dirty. Kitchen cabinets and cutlery drawer dirty. We had to wash dishes we were going to use. We decided not to cook so as not to have to wash everything. There was only one wine glass and when my partner washed it, he cut his hand and we had to bandage it. It looks like someone tried to repair the rim with a glass cutter and this resulted in an extremely sharp edge. I reported it to the office as we thought it should be thrown away. Washing machine sounds like belt is going. It was half full of questionable water so we had to run an empty cycle first. Turned out it also had a leak and the water wouldn’t stop dripping so we shut Off the water to it. Dryer took 3 hour and clothes were not dry yet. It’s not working properly. There was a used towel in the bath. The smoke alarm kept going off due to the dryer. We had to vent by keeping front door Open. Throw pillows stained. Spare pillow looks like it got retrieved from a dumpster. We have been traveling for 2 months and have stayed in 21 different accommodations at this point. This is the only one that fell below and way below our standards for basic cleanliness. Do not recommend.

Quirkiness everywhere in this property. Very unique in you need to take the time to actually see everything. Good location to see Russell Falls and surroundings without having to travel in/out of Hobart. We stayed here after travelling the Central Highlands which is also stunning.

The kitchen to be shared with eight people is so inadequate and not workable, a tiny fridge, to take turns at the 500cm workbench is terrible tiny & just a microwave. Called this place a lodge and no common room and the eating tables are outside with no shelter! Yes one wet morning!! One could dine next door but closed Monday and Tuesday and the winter months
