Awesome views. Close to airport for early morning flight. Friendly wallabies. Nice and cozy inside

Seaview is a wonderfully serene retreat defined by stunning panoramic views and charming wildlife

The location provided a wonderful sense of serenity and stunning panoramic views, while still being remarkably close to the airport and Hobart. Feeding the very friendly wallabies and spotting the shy brush-tailed possums was a highlight of our time on the property. We stayed in the Seaview Eagle House and found the convenience of using the disability car parking made our arrival and departure very smooth as it was easy to get bags in and out of the car. The four other houses didnt have this concrete space. The stay was very inexpensive, though we would have welcomed the option to pay for small luxuries like local wine or pantry staples to improve the dining experience.

− The entry point to the property presents a somewhat unpolished first impression, as the drive passes a residence with a very rustic and lived-in aesthetic that doesn't quite reflect the high standard of the secluded villas further up the hill. Once we were settled, we found the minibar was heavily skewed toward sweets; while the selection of chocolates was impressive, there was a lack of practical staples like breakfast cereal or sufficient milk, which was inconvenient given that the lack of an oven and the distance to shops makes "ducking out" for supplies difficult. The check-in process was also a bit stressful as our calls to the contact number went unanswered and unreturned, and the 500m of rough gravel road felt a bit rugged for an upmarket vehicle without clearer signage to guide the way. Additionally, the communal BBQ was located up a steep, slippery gravel slope that felt a bit treacherous to navigate and wasn't clearly mentioned in the literature, so the option to pre-buy a food hamper would have greatly improved the overall convenience of the stay.

Beautiful location, nicely equipped comfortable cabin.

Location was fabulous

− Unfortunately the disabled shower was poorly screened - definitely need longer shower curtains or lower shower rail, to avoid whole of bathroom floor flooding 😂

Great!!

We liked the views and value for money. We had wallabies visit us and kids loved it

− The bed linen and towels could have been cleaner. Access to the accomodation takes 20mins from highway. Need to drivesafe
