Lovely ambience. Quiet, close to Lara for meals, supermarket etc, close to You Yangs for walks. Perfect stopover before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania
A gorgeous and very comfortable cottage steeped in history. An authentic 1850’s outhouse building converted into very warm and cosy accommodation. Extremely clean with homely touches to make your stay more enjoyable.
We love staying here at Stable Door. Trendy like hideaway with a great feel.
The bed is super comfy, the space is super clean and spacious. The indoor and outdoor spaces are really appealing.
A lovely and peaceful stay. The owners have tried very hard to make the stay as comfortable as possible, and succeeded. Very clean and welcoming space.
Lovely accomodation not far from town with plenty of take away food options etc. Very cosy and nicely decorated. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.
How delightful this property is. The old beams and thick walls of the stable mixed with modern features was magical. We woke up to birds singing no traffic noise.
Will definitely stay again, Thank You for sharing this amazing place.
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Stable Door. Such a beautifully room with lots of homely trimmings. Our hosts were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We felt very much at home in beautiful surroundings. We had a perfect sleep each night in the most comfortable bed. Will stay again next time we visit Lara.
My wife and I found that we needed an escape for a few days. It was a comfortable space, with a generous gas log fire to chase away the chills. The ground coffee provided is a nice touch.
