This is an absolutely beautiful, luxurious accommodation. We stayed in room 1, the spacious two bedroom apartment upstairs. With a large, airy, open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, every room was immaculate, beautifully appointed and well-equipped with everything you might need for a very comfortable stay. A gorgeous ocean view, a large balcony deck for enjoying the views, and very lovely, gracious hosts. If you're coming to NW Tassie, this is a very fine place to stay. Highly recommended.

This property is in immaculate condition in a fantastic location. Couldn't fault the property or location. Loved the front balcony and sweeping ocean views. Could park the car off-street and everything such as beach, shops and dining within walking distance. Would definitely stay at the property again!
