Convenient location

The house was well located for our visit to Maria Island.Although older in age, it gave 2 couples room to spread out and offered privacy.A few bugs decided to join us from outside but this did not deter our stay.Cameron was very easy to communicate with, providing a detailed list of attractions in and around the area.A pleasant stay.

Perfect base for Maria Island day trip

Quiet location with amazing views. Cam’s communication was spot on and was extremely generous with the offer of flexibility with check in and check out. Appreciated the little extras. A huge 5 star for hot water with decent pressure. Thanks for a wonderful home base to catch up with our adult ‘Tasmanian’ family. BTW … loved the mulberries …

About the host

Host profile image
We fell in love with Tassie 5 years ago, for its wildlife and unspoilt natural beauty. We purchased the house in November 2017 and try to get down for fishing and plenty of outdoor adventures as much as possible.

We live in Melbourne; Cameron works as a PR consultant and Jess is a teacher. We have two young children. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or queries.
