Stayed here, in lovely Orford, for a break over school hols with my children. The house was lovely, modern and very comfortable, had everything needed for us to lounge around relaxing by the swim spa, read some books, play some games or watch a movie together. Location was great, we enjoyed a few breakfasts at a nearby cafe', some nice beach walks, popped around to Triabunna, did some wandering, and just really enjoyed having some quiet time. The place had a nice feel to it, very welcoming and was one of 'those places' that has all the bits and pieces you need - coffee pod machine (coffee!), items to cook and do meals if you want to, light and airy inside, comfortable seating and some nice outside seating under cover with blankets and pillows. Dee, the hostess, was great with communication and was very kind, offering a late check out - just lovely! We would 100% stay here again and its definitely on our list to come back to. Highly recommend.

Eight is a fantastic place for a family getaway. The house is very clean and light and airy and very comfortable to stay in.The spa was wonderful and straightforward to maintain. We spent lots of time in there enjoying the warm water and the jets. The beds were very comfortable, as were the couches inside; and the out door furniture was very comfy too. The kitchen is well equipped and it was great to cook with gas. It’s only a short walk to the nearest beach, or you can enjoy a longer walk along the shoreline to East Shelley Beach. Thank you to Dee and Virgil for providing such great accommodation.
