Highly recommend

We came to Tasmania for a wedding and we had our family, my sisters family and our Dad all stay here. It was wonderful! There was something for all ages of kids. The littles liked the toys, the teens enjoyed the games room and the adults loved sitting outside soaking up the sun and beautiful view. The VRBO had everything we needed. All of us, including all the kids, would stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

Very nice house.

The property was very clean and nice but there were just a few things wrong with the games room and the bathroom with the bath. The snooker table was riped which I was told but it was a bit worse than I thought. The foolsball table was broken. The rowing machine one of the foot stays was broken and the hand held shower spray was leaking from the back but overal the stay was very nice. O just one more thing the internet was very very slow.
