Great family holiday stay
We really enjoyed the stay. There were things to do for all ages. Very accommodating for all ages. With the number of people we had stay, it didn’t feel like we crammed in together. The house was very spacious.

Beautiful house and accessible features.
A group of 6 people (3 couples) stayed here in May 23. Majority of the group with some type of disability or physical impairment. We had such a wonderful time! The house is accessible for ambulating around in. There is one room on the same floor as the kitchen/living area and the main bathroom/toilet area. The other two rooms are either up a flight of stairs (master) or down a few steps. We felt the house might need a few minor updates to make it fully accessible (railings in main bathroom, place to put towels and toiletries) but other than that it’s in a lovely quiet location and the hosts are wonderful to deal with. Thank you for providing such a great place to base ourselves while we explored Hobart and it’s surrounds.

Last 2 nights at Tassie
Very comfortable open plan home great for 2 people not much privacy if you had a group. Main bedroom is just a large loft area at top of stairs no doors. Fantastic kitchen and bathrooms and very comfortable furniture and the home very warm with all the glass windows, little bit fishbowl like but has blinds you can use for privacy.

Comfortable and functional home
This is a comfortable home. We were in town for a film project and didn't want to be thinking about anything else. Well equipped kitchen, basics and extras provided (teas, coffee machine, toiletries etc), spacious house, good climate control, big bathrooms with good water pressure, quiet location and comfortable lounges. There was mixed feedback on the beds. Mine was too firm (in the upstairs room). In all, a quality stay for the price. Would definitely recommend this property.

Modern house with large kitchen / lounge
Well planned house with upstairs parents room and two seperate areas downstairs. Modern kitchen with everything you need, including extra wide oven. Well equipped. Upstairs bathroom was perfect, downstairs shower room not ideal as no hooks or benches and door did not shut. Laundry tub to be used as a basin in laundry not well situated. House fully fenced and easy walking distance to beach.
