Perfect Home away from home
My stay was just perfect! A peaceful somewhat secluded location a handy distance to the city. The apartment is comfortable and well maintained with a huge yard if you have children or like to spend time outside in the sunshine.I will definitely be back!
Absolutely fantastic stay at this property. Set in a wonderful, quiet but convenient location, the new and very well equipped property was perfect for our holiday. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Everything you could wish for was provided, well above and beyond a standard service. I highly recommend a stay here and we would love to return again in the future.
Neil and Vonnie are very friendly and communicative. Vonnie showed us around at the beginning and told us about local places to eat. The unit was fastidiously clean and well stocked , even with a great full breakfast to cook.
wallabies and peacocks abound. We had a lovely quick stay between Geilston bay and Risdon brook dam.
Loved our stay here! Our family's final stop after roadtripping from Launceston, and it was our most comfortable stay. Beds were so comfy, the unit so spotless and fresh.
The location is great - up the mountains a few minutes out of the city. Helpful instructions to find the unit and access the key were given before arrival.
We were lucky enough to see some wild peacocks and wallabies in the front and back yards, spacious outside area.
Hosts were friendly, approachable, very accomodating, and happy for a chat. Would stay here again if we find ourselves back in Hobart.
