Absolutely fantastic stay at this property. Set in a wonderful, quiet but convenient location, the new and very well equipped property was perfect for our holiday. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Everything you could wish for was provided, well above and beyond a standard service. I highly recommend a stay here and we would love to return again in the future.

Perfect Home away from home

My stay was just perfect! A peaceful somewhat secluded location a handy distance to the city. The apartment is comfortable and well maintained with a huge yard if you have children or like to spend time outside in the sunshine.I will definitely be back!

The property was wonderful, very well appointed, modern, very clean and fully equip with a lot of extras. The hosts have gone out of their way to ensure you want for nothing, even suppling some groceries which was a pleasant surprise. With the grounds also home to peacocks and native wildlife, it was a pleasant place to come home too. Neil and Vonnie are magnificent hosts, keen to see you enjoy their property, very genuine people.We can not recommend a stay at this property enough to anyone wanting to use this location as a base to explore this wonderful state.

Neil and Vonnie are very friendly and communicative. Vonnie showed us around at the beginning and told us about local places to eat. The unit was fastidiously clean and well stocked , even with a great full breakfast to cook. wallabies and peacocks abound. We had a lovely quick stay between Geilston bay and Risdon brook dam.

Loved our stay here! Our family's final stop after roadtripping from Launceston, and it was our most comfortable stay. Beds were so comfy, the unit so spotless and fresh. The location is great - up the mountains a few minutes out of the city. Helpful instructions to find the unit and access the key were given before arrival. We were lucky enough to see some wild peacocks and wallabies in the front and back yards, spacious outside area. Hosts were friendly, approachable, very accomodating, and happy for a chat. Would stay here again if we find ourselves back in Hobart.

Hi Madeleine. Finally I can see your review and respond to you. Thank you for your very kind words. We loved having you all here and look forward to seeing you in the future. I am still working with Vrbo to be able to review our guests after they review our property. There still seems to be a few bugs in their system. Kind regards Neil Faulks

About the host

Hosted by Neil

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived most of our later life in Tasmania. Now that we are retired we thought we would use our asset to earn us some extra money but also meet new people when they come to stay with us. I enjoy playing golf and looking after the property exterior and my wife looks after everything else including our wildlife animals.

Why they chose this property

I love space so when I came across this block of land back about 35 years ago I fell in love with the location on the hill away from the highway. We love the animals that surround us. We love our back lawn area but the wallabies are not allowed. There is plenty for them to eat out the front of our house.

What makes this property unique

We are on 5 acres of land and Hobart (the Capital of Tasmania) is only a 15 minutes drive from our property. We are 110m above sea level and have views of the Derwent River. It is so peaceful up here it is hard not to enjoy sitting down outside and relaxing. See our reviews on Vrbo, Expedia, Booking.com and Airbnb.
