Beautiful place to spend our first night in Tassie - wish we’d have stayed longer. Feels like you are completely amongst nature. Very relaxing and our little kids loved the supply of toys and games to keep them occupied. Would definitely visit again.
What a wonderful stay we had. The property caters for all your needs. Well appointed and very clean. Comfortable beds and toasty warm with a wood heater and air con. The views were simply stunning. The host was lovely to deal with and very accommodating. Highly recommend this property. We are already planning our next stay.
