Weekend down the Tasman

Very nice little units that are a good base from which to travel to surrounding towns. Owners obviously take a lot of pride in the accommodation they provide and are very welcoming.

What a charming spot. A small but well appointed cottage on the waterfront. Excellent location for an overnight on the Tasman peninsula. Simon is a great host and the grounds are immaculate.

I was so impressed with the beautiful garden and opportunity to sit on the waterfront and watch the sun set. Terrific hosts. Loved listening to the bird life. Comfy bed. Great aura. What more could you ask for?

great place with quality fittings a cut above what you would normally get. There's only 3 rooms at this lovely quiet place where the back garden leads right down to the water and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. we were the only people staying (it was winter) but the apartment was warm and cosy. Would definitely come back.
