Only stayed one night, but could have moved in! As soon as we walked in, we felt at home. You can really feel the love in this house which has been put together with many thoughtful & luxurious details which made us feel like we were on a fancy holiday. Perfect home for families with so many amenities for children which were both practical & delighted kids & adults. Kids were thrilled with Google Home virtual assistant, the giant beanbags, the thoughtful chalkboard placemats & cute toys. One minute walk to the beach plus complimentary towels, beach mat, face masks & umbrella to make the most of the location. Good range of kids DVDs, books & board games. Also had fun playing pentanque on the grassy lawn.
The design is stunning & we just loved enjoying the comforts as well as the local Tasmanian artwork & Tassie flavours in the pantry to try. Also loved the Tasmanian essential oil body products in the bathroom - literally inhaled Tasmania. The deck & garden area is really special with lots of spaces for the family to be together or for quiet solo time just reading a good book & enjoying the native wildlife which regularly drops in. TWO firepits to keep you cosy at night even in winter.
The location is spot on, even the drive to the house is scenic with lovely ocean, orchard & country farm house views with sheep in paddocks & hay bales aplenty. Only 30 minutes from the Bruny Island ferry & close to lots of wineries, the famous Fat Pig Farm feasts, & the beautiful Sleeping Beauty mountain range. The local town Cygnet is about 15 minutes away via another gorgeous drive & has great cafes/restaurants, good fresh food shops, takeaway food, art galleries & nice home wares, jewellery & clothing shops. The locals are very welcoming & friendly & will go out of their way to help you & have a chat. Everything you need here like petrol, banking, pharmacy, massage, plus there is a wonderful wildlife reserve & park with playground & skate park for the kids & lots of the native black swans for which Cygnet was named. Once we had supplies, we did not need to venture far from the house, there are great beaches & walks virtually on the doorstep. The kids had a ball spotting the small wallabies which come out at dusk to graze.
The host is so welcoming & really went above & beyond to make it a great stay. Guidebooks are the best I have ever seen & the digital version links through to Google maps, attraction websites, click to call & more. Thank u 4 a top stay!
