Very cosy cottage, that more than catered to our needs. We had a very enjoyable Easter vacation. It was our second visit in three months. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Hazel is very welcoming, and very helpful. It wasn't a drama to extend our stay. My chihuahuas Misha & Kostya enjoyed themselves. Thank you Hazel.

Immaculate cottage in beautiful surrounds

Beautiful surrounds with fully fenced yard. The cottage was immaculate and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Hazel was easy, prompt and super friendly. Cheese platter on arrival and the whole experience was wonderfully relaxing. Easy drive to Hobart and was a perfect nights stay for me and my two little furry friends.Thank you to the hosts!
