Such a lovely place to stay. We stayed in Orford to visit Maria Island and had an amazing time. The property was super clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Walking distance to the grocery store, a cafe and pizza restaurant.

Wonderful property in a beautiful location

Had everything we needed for our short stay (except good weather :)) Our van struggled to get up the driveway (so sorry about the accidental wheelies) but that was our problem, not the host or property. Very easy check in and out and loved the views. Wifi didn't really work for us and 4G was rubbish, perhaps weather related but something to keep in mind for other guests.

A spacious and comfortable house to stay at. The house had everything a traveler would need. Host was very helpful and answered a lot of questions that were beyond what's in the house. I appreciate the care and time given. Sidenote: Orford is a small town and Tasmania is mostly rural. Some of the roads leading to/from the town are unpaved. Better to check in advance if you'd like to avoid that surprise.
