Such a quaint place with lovely hosts, had a wonderful dinner close by and super close to Bruny Island ferry. Beds super comfy, kitchen well equiped, we enjoyed watching the ducks in the dam outside the kitchen window, hearing the chickens being chickens and having the frogs lull us to sleep. Would thoroughly recommend for those that love nature and beautiful things.

Peaceful, Great location.

Biodynamic farm cottage. No TV, a very quiet and quaint cottage, perfect for an extended stay. Self contained and relaxing, close to Hobart and the southern towns.

Fantastic guests. It was a delight to hear how' at home' they felt and their love for the garden and animals at Maktub. I wish I had have had more time with Patricia :)

Cabin Getaway

A chandelier of stars above a peaceful getaway cabin. Identical to the photos presented, located on a beautiful piece of land tucked away from the city. Chrissie and Micheal were a delight to communicate with who went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome.

Nice overnight stay

The accommodation is opposite the main house but is private and overlooks the dam. We enjoyed watching the chickens and paddymelons. There didn't seem to be anywhere to walk or explore the property, but we weren't there long enough to ask. The accommodation itself is lovely - very comfortable bed and kitchen with everything you need. It was a very nice place to stay overnight before heading to Bruny.

Hi Amanda, thanks for staying with us, we are glad that you loved your stay. Sorry you did not manage to to go for a walk and explore the gardens. Next time I'd love to show you around the property. There is a brochure in the guest book that provides all the walks and maps of the area. If you stay with us again I'd love to take you on a couple of my fave walks. I hope you had a wonderful time on Bruny!

Mr

We had a really wonderful time during our stay and playing with the chickens. Christine and Michael are very warm and accommodating. The sky at night is so beautiful and the window slit by the bed made it even better to snuggle up and stargaze. The house is really clean, cozy and homey. Will try our best to come back again just for the vibe. 12/10.

Amirul and his partner were the perfect guests. They were quiet and left the Giraffe Hose beautifully clean and tidy. We'd welcome them back and highly recommend them as guests

I left after one night.

The listing was not accurate. Wifi wasn't available as stated in the listing. Host was argumentative about it being "promoted as a place without wifi." VRBO refunded me because they confirmed it was advertised with WiFi. I was given a wifi code (presumably to their house wifi), but the wifi did not connect or work. This listing is a tiny house build next to a regular home. Privacy is minimal. Additionally, the silverware tray was full of dirty water at check-in. I did not trust the rest of the home was very clean .. intended to stay 4 nights left after 1. Host made me very uncomfortable. I cannot recommend this stay.

As a Premier Host I have never had such an aggressive, intimidating and rude guest. I was glad when the guest left although not pleased with the 'burn out' tracks left in my driveway when she left at speed. The guest's assessment of the property is far from the truth as evidenced by the reviews and premier hosts status. I suspect that the guest did not read the listing and was tied and frustrated after a long haul flight from the US. I would not welcome the guest back nor would I recommend her to others.
