Immaculate cottage in beautiful surrounds

Beautiful surrounds with fully fenced yard. The cottage was immaculate and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Hazel was easy, prompt and super friendly. Cheese platter on arrival and the whole experience was wonderfully relaxing. Easy drive to Hobart and was a perfect nights stay for me and my two little furry friends.Thank you to the hosts!
