I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house that was very cosy. Victor was a great host and he got back to me very quickly with any questions I had. Short walk to IGA and the incredible Richmond Baker Shop. Everything you want and need is very close by. From the moment I arrived, I was thinking OMG this far exceeded what I had expected and I felt at home immediately. I will save the best for last and say that the bed is the best bed I have ever slept in by far....You won't regret staying here.

Not quite beach side holiday shack

Very spacious and extremely well equipped - excellent cooking facilities, all sorts of utensils, AND a good dishwasher. Outdoor BBQ worked well and avoided much cleaning inside. Location was excellent - near but not quite on the main road, easy walk to shops, short drive to even more shops.

Well-equipped and bigger than the pictures imply

It's a spacious unit with a well-fitted out kitchen and other features (bbq, outdoor dining, shower equipment and more). Everything worked; it's spick and span, nice light, effective heating. It's conveniently located near a Hill Street IGA with a deli that means you really don't need to go out (but you can - though that's easier done for lunch mid-week in the winter).

No Ferry

First time we have been into this interesting area of Tassie. Great to have a washing machine ! The L E D lights were great in the middle of the night. While there was no internet we were able to access that at the Community Centre, and helped by the friendly ladies there. Victor gave us advise about where to go and what to see but we really did think there would be a ferry !!!

Alice and Brian were a pleasure to host, happy to hit the road after easing of restrictions (Covid). They look after their lodging as their own, hope to see them return in the future.
