Perfect getaway! quiet, cosy and beautiful

The room is absolutely beautiful, everything is new and there is obviously been a lot of care taken to make it a great experience. Great bedding, plenty of pillows and blankets for every seat. Excellent kitchen with lots of options for cooking and coffee. Water pressure was great! It was honestly the coziest experience, and has the most incredible view of the towering trees surrounding the property just beyond the lush creek. Kylie was such a great host, she was friendly, easy to talk to and very understanding. You can tell she cares a lot about providing a great experience to everyone staying there. Would highly recommend, only issue was that there was quite a substantial amount of animal poo around the outside area and across all the grounds, more than just a few days/weeks worth. It did distract from the enjoyment of sitting outside under the heater on the swinging chair. other than that, it was a beautiful experience.

Perfect getaway

The property was in an amazing location and the accommodation was gorgeous and immaculate. Kylie the host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately our stay was cut very short due to a family pet emergency but the few hours that we did get to spend there were fab. We will definitely try and make a return visit.

An oasis in the forest

An amazing location on the edge of a babbling creek with eucalyptus forest as a backdrop. The forest under night lights is a must see. Birds, platypus and pademelons add to the tranquility and peacefulness of this unique location. Enjoyed a game of golf. Room had all mod cons that you would need including a very comfy bed. Definitely recommend. Thanks Kylie and Adam

About the host

Hosted by Kylie

Hi, I am Kylie.

I was born and mostly raised in Tasmania. I had three years living in Atherton, Queensland in my late teens. I am the mother of two, now grown children.

The highlights of my career to date vary from being a Crowd Controller (Bouncer), a Private Investigator, and a Tradie. Looking back, I have had an exciting career history, exploring who I am and what I love doing.

I always wanted to be a Police Officer but after being a single, teenage mother, I did not pursue this dream. When my first born was a few years old I was offered a role as a Bouncer, I accepted and loved it. I was then offered a position as a Private Investigator, operating covertly. This role was challenging and thrilling and also allowed me to dabble in factual investigations. I love asking questions, I have an enquiring mind so the factual investigations gave me a taste of what I might be built to do. Then I had another baby. Security and investigations ceased, and I became a stay-at-home mother. When this baby was six months old, I helped Adam at his painting job for a day. 15 years later, I retired from painting! I loved painting but my academic mind was frustrated. While painting and staring at a wall endlessly I was listening to podcasts, crime podcasts. I loved the intricacies of court cases, the stories of justice, the humanity. We sold a property which allowed me to retire from painting and enrol at uni.

So now I am studying criminology and loving it. It has allowed me to be at home each day. This has also allowed me to develop our long-term goal of sharing our property with the world. While studying, I have also developed ‘Laid Back Manor’ our business including accommodation, golf and events. To finally be able to share our property in a way that reflects who we are and what we love. I enjoy design and the finer things in life. Adam loves golf. Our two personalities are highlighted beautifully on our property with half being my passion and the other half being Adam’s.

Why they chose this property

Because it is spectacular. Laid Back Manor is only a 25 minute drive from Hobart. It is a picturesque setting, manicured lawns surrounded by a permanent creek and the natural, rugged Tasmanian rainforest. This is serenity!

What makes this property unique

The exclusive golf course, the tranquillity of the location, the luxury of the cabin accessories, the swinging sofa, the creek and wildlife, and the night light display!
