great place with quality fittings a cut above what you would normally get. There's only 3 rooms at this lovely quiet place where the back garden leads right down to the water and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. we were the only people staying (it was winter) but the apartment was warm and cosy. Would definitely come back.

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.
