Our second visit here and it's never long enough. Already booking the next trip. Incredible night sleep with the sounds of the waves just outside the window. The host is fantastic to communicate with. This cottage is quickly becoming our little home away from home - if we need to go to Hobart, I will immediately look to see if Opossum Bay is available.

Stunning location. We only had one over-night there but wished we could have stayed longer. It was after dark when we arrived so it was a glorious surprise waking to just how close to the water we were. Will definitely be back!

Great communication provided by the host. The property was ideally suited to our family of 2 adults and 2 young children, who all loved the easy access to a pleasant beach which is very "safe" for a young toddler.

Great little spot if you want to be in a quiet little town right on a pristine white beach with superb views of the derwent river and mount wellington. We were greeted by 2 dolphins about 5m off the shore as we entered the front door. Place was clean, neat and tidy and had everything you need. Host was great to deal with and nothing was a hassle at all. We’re heading back soon. Thanks.

Second Stay, Same Beautiful Location

The second time we have stayed at this great little property, and once again it delivered the goods. Steve is easy and great to deal with and the little cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Positioned absolute beachfront, you can’t beat the location. Would recommend highly.
