Couldn't be happier with the location of the house, and it's finished perfectly. Our family of four very much enjoyed our getaway. Beach access, access to walks and a short drive to town, we'll definitely be back

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Ideal location literally steps from the entrance to the national park. Kitchen was well equipped. Negatives were that there is no dryer as advertised, the heater was only in the main living area so the bedrooms were chilly, and even though we rented the entire home they gave us the bedroom with a queen bed and levied an additional charge if we used the king bedroom. False advertising.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the ideal location, just steps from the national park, and that the kitchen met your needs.
We’re sorry that a dryer was advertised; this has now been removed from the listing, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Regarding the bedding, as noted in the confirmation sent at the time of booking, "Proposed Bedding Allocation: 1 Queen bed
Please let us know at least 2 days before your arrival if you need a different bed arrangement based on the house's configuration. Last-minute changes to bedding may incur extra charges if not confirmed in time." To Clarify the proposed bedding allocation is based on the number of guests reserved. and charges only apply if extra beds are used without prior notice. This helps ensure that additional guests are not accommodated without our knowledge. We apologize if this was not clear and appreciate your understanding.
We also note your comments about the heating in the bedrooms and will review ways to better communicate the setup to future guests to ensure comfort.
Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us improve both clarity and the guest experience.

We had a really love time at Hazards Rim Beach House. It would be impossible to find accommodation any closer to the beautiful Wineglass bay - we just wish we had longer to explore the area and do more of the walks. The house is really nice - I really liked the separate sleeping and living areas. The kitchen was equipped with everything we need to cook a nice meal or two, and most importantly (because we were there in Winter) the house was heated and there were electric blankets. A very nice place to stay!

Hi Alek,
Thanks for sharing your experience. We are very saddened to hear you didn't have a fabulous time while staying at this beautiful property.
Our cleaning protocols are very thorough and each property is inspected by our operations team before welcoming new guests, so we will follow this up and check the procedures have been carried out.
There are many mosquitoes in Coles Bay and we recommend our guests keep doors closed from dusk. Insect spray is provided for those guests who choose to use it.
Please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange your next holiday in this stunning part of Tassie and we'll see if we can impress you next time.
All the best,
Verina and The Freycinet Holiday Houses Team.
Overall the accomodation on offer is fine, there were minimum kitchen items but apart from that our family of 4 enjoyed our stay. The area this house is located in interesting, while quite isolated it is one of the many houses privately owned. We were surprised by the level of property ownership within this lovely national park, with even some sections of the beach privately owned. Don’t go near! Or risk being yelled at as we were for nearing their space.

Beautiful Location! Beautiful Home!
Such a beautiful home! We were lucky with the weather and got to hike the near by Wineglass Bay track (walking distance from the house) on a beautiful day! We cooked at home one night but all the other nights ate out: at the nearby lodge and in Coles Bay for pizza. We were sad to leave but perhaps we'll get to come back one day!

More than a cabin
This was a perfect cottage in the woods. All the amenities are there except the internet and wasn't that a nice change. (There is a TV and DVD but never turned it on) Walked out the door and down a dirt lane; cut off onto a track and followed it....went nowhere with no one....loved the silence and when I returned to the cottage everything was spotless....no bric a brac; no distractions. The owners gave
us a perfect hideaway.

An excellent property
An interesting house designed to take advantage of the surrounding bushland and encourages outdoor lifestyle. Wonderful to be adjacent to the start of all the walking trails. We preferred it to the Lodge accommodation we had on the previous visit. However, not for those with phobias of multi-legged critters other than bennet wallabies. We relocated several huntsman, but I'm afraid we dispatched the scorpion.

Beautiful house in stunning location
This is a very special place and we felt privileged to be there. The house is so beautifully designed, in a spectacular location and also well equipped. It is only one of a handful of houses that are inside the national park. It is metres away from the starting point for walks and there is a beautiful secluded beach a short walk through the trees in front of the house. We saw sweet little Bennetts wallabies from the living room.

Peaceful and comfortable
My husband and I hired the house for 3 nights in August 2015, it was cold when we arrived but after cranking the heater and keeping it on, we were able to maintain a comfortable temperature. Double glazing would make a big difference.
The house is walking distance to a quiet little beach, if it ever got hot enough for a swim, this would be perfect.
The house was pretty well equipped, most of the basics we needed for cooking were in the kitchen.
The outlook from the lounge area is beautiful, a very peaceful environment to wind down, and a good base for hiking, the house is close enough walk to the trail start point for Mt Amos, and the various wineglass bay/hazards walks.
We would love to come back.
Overall a very comfortable stay.
