A bonus stay in Tasmania.
We were unexpectedly stuck in Tasmania when all the ferries were cancelled, so had a few extra days holiday. We therefore booked the Cottage very last minute to explore the north coast of Tasmania. Excellent location - we visited Stanley, did the Coast to Canyon tour, tulip farm and beaches which were all less than an hour's drive from the cottage. The owner gave us some local tips for our stay which were helpful and we really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The hosts' gardens were also a joy to explore.

Owner very personable. However, our cottage, the last to be renovated, was cold, gloomy and dark. Shampoo and hair dryer not supplied and only a single power point available in kitchen.

Response from Debbie on 18 Jul 2020
Thank you for your review. Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay although when I dropped the towels off I inquired if everything was OK and was assured they were by your wife. : On the website is clear pictures of what the cabin is/also on our website there are 360 views so that what you book is what you get. : We were as hospitable as possible without being obtrusive, I personally took homemade pickles to the cabin as a hospitable gesture. : There was a hairdryer in the main bedroom draw. : No we don't provide shampoo these are self contained cabins not a hotel room. : You also only paid for 2 people this is one room not for the extra people you had stay. Each extra person is $20.00 per person. : We also have no control on weather and sunshine and this also impacts on the warmth in the cabin. There is a heat pump and fire place and also heated blankets on all beds. Funnily this is winter, its cold. Thank you but I believe you received much more than what you paid for. : As for power points this will be rectified when we upgrade but this house was built 50 odd years ago. seriously I feel you would be better suited staying in a 5 star hotel but you won't get that for the price you want to pay. regards BHGC

Thank you for your review. The cabins and a virtual tour are on our website so what you book is what you get. We don't advertise to be on the beach. No doubt the amount you paid would be 4 X on the beach. thank you BHGC
