Serena is a very kind, generous and happy host. Check-in was simple and easy with clear communication, the room clean and comfortable with thoughtful decor, everything you need was provided plus an amazing breakfast. I took my dogs for the easy walk around the block in the morning and they had lots to sniff. We'd happily stay at Tantarra again.

We stayed one night with our pet cocker spaniel in ‘the Room’ and would definitely stay here again. Bed was comfy, room was cosy and warm and brekky was great. It felt like a home away from home!
