Fantastic serenity

We'll be back. A beautiful place to stay, private and feels remote, yet so central. Everything needed and great extras are supplied. Perfect for us.

Location Location location !

A quintessential Tasmanian shack experience. Not luxurious but you go for the location not the details. We were warm and dry and comfortable with views to die for. Birdlife, wildlife , private beach swims ; stars and Aurora - we didn’t need anything else

A little disappointing

We felt this property was overpriced for what it was. Bathroom was very small There is a dirty towel behind the door in second bedroom which was way to cramped if you had three children in there There is a dirty tea towel in the cupboard above the stove stuffed in with dishes We didn’t cook there, however, the stove looked very worn Curtains and/or blinds on the glass windows/doors would have been good to keep the heat in as it was very cold No firewood at our cabin. Luckily there was no one staying in the other cabin and we were able to take some from there The whole place was cheaply built and demanding high prices Some upgrading is required if the high prices are to be onging We would not stay in Sawyers Beach Cabins again however we did enjoy Flinders Island itself and the people are great characters and very friendly The wildlife was great to see We hope to return sometime

Thanks for your review. We pride ourselves on providing a stylish, clean, accommodation in a modern interpretation of the classic Tasmanian beach shack, right on the ocean. The used tea towel and towel you found had been missed by our cleaner was an oversight that should not have happened and we will follow this up. I note however that you had no complaint about the rest of the clean which we know is always done to a high standard. The rest of your comments relate to the building and yes we are “sawyers bay shacks” not “sawyers bay luxury apartments”. There is a rich history in Tasmania of simple shacks which are located in incredible beachfront locations and they are highly sought after. You will find most of the other shacks you can rent in Tasmania are similarly a bit quirky - look at Captains Rest, Whalesong shack or the Crayshack which is an incredible accommodation but with an outside loo. We are glad you enjoyed our lovely island but feel maybe have missed something about the essence of shacks which many people are keen to experience.
