Lovely Waterfront Property
This is a lovely accommodation with beautiful water views from the living and bedroom areas. The hosts were so nice to give us eggs, apple crisp and cookies upon arrival - what a nice touch. The space was roomy, clean and newly finished. For us the location was perfect as we like to be "out of the way" and not in busy towns. We would recommend this rental to our friends!

Wonderful views
Wonderful views. We really enjoyed our stay and found the rental to be clean inviting and relaxing. It was close to everything we wanted to do. Really glad that she’s furnished robes to wear as it did get a little cooler in the evenings.

Really enjoyable 4 days at Port Huon
We used this excellent accommodation to explore the area and climbed Hartz Peak, went to the Tahune Airwalk and walked from Cockle Bay to South Cape Bay. This is a great location and very comfortable.
