Full kitchen and had an outside barbecue area. Had everything you need and even electric blankets which came in handy.

Relaxing and inviting

9.0

Felt homely as soon as you walked in, beautiful views, with a quiet location and shops were close by. Well furnished apartment with everything you need to cook for a family, or just relax by electric fireplace as a couple.

Shower was a little difficult to get in and out with my bad knees, but was clean.

A great place to base yourself for a couple of days local experiences in the south of Tasmania.

We were upgraded to the family unit 6 for our 2-night stay. It was roomy, well decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay. The heating had been turned on for our arrival at 5pm on a cold spring night. There were very comfortable queen beds with nice clean and warm linen. There were also electric blankets to heat the beds. There was a split system heater in the main living area. large family fridge with freezer and even ice trays filled with water. There was a spa bath, but we didn't use. There is also an electric fake fire to give the room a bit more ambience. There is a lovely font porch which has a partial water view. It would be lovely to sit on in better weather. There is a car park directly out the front of the property on the street, with about 4 steps up to the unit. The Port Esperance yacht club is directly opposite and has a make your own burger night on Fridays between 6 and 8pm for $12. A very friendly group of welcoming locals. Also, the RSL within walking distance (although a bit of a hill on way up... downhill on way home!) is also a great choice for a meal. Very friendly staff and fantastic pork ribs... a choice of small and large serve! Our host Teresa was very friendly and helpful during our stay. This place is up for sale at the moment. We hope it continues the same standard if sold to new owners. Thank you for a lovely experience. Would stay there again.

Great for a family.

9.0

We stayed in the cottage. Really beautiful place to stay if you especially if you had a a family. We were just there for the night, so it was wasted on us. But it was lovely. Great bed.

TV needed a sound bar.
