I was so impressed with the beautiful garden and opportunity to sit on the waterfront and watch the sun set. Terrific hosts. Loved listening to the bird life. Comfy bed. Great aura. What more could you ask for?

10/10 hands down for this property. Simon is the BEST host, making sure all of your needs are met.
The finer details he provides in the accommodation is perfect.
Well maintained gardens upon entering which he takes much pride with. A real homely touch and perfect for what we needed for our one night stay as we were travelling. One of the best accommodation places we had stayed in around Tassie. Highly recommend.

The wonderful service from this property began before we arrived. They contacted us with instructions about how to find the property, available facilities, best places to purchase supplies and how to check in. When we arrived we were greeted by our host who explained about local attractions, how to access the private beach and answered our questions. While we were checking in an echidna walked along the driveway. This place offers a very relaxing experience with fantastic service and local knowledge. Highly recommended!
