    Nothing wrong with the property. I would have liked a rest day, so I could have spent more time there.

    Lovely room, beautiful surroundings and location. Very friendly, helpful hosts.

    Great location, great outlook down to Hobart and the Derwent River. Native bird and animal life abundant. A peaceful and tranquil location, a short distance to everything. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again when we return to Hobart.

    Loved the views. Enjoyed our walk around their beautiful mostly native garden with our lovely host. Loved the bifold doors opening onto the verandah. Shower good with nice eco friendly toiletries. Liked the earthy design. Lovely tank water. Loved the space around our pod. Would stay again definitely.

    Nothing! I didn’t like the fact I didn’t book a whole week.. dammit! Next time for sure :)

    Tanya’s place is a slice of heaven! The view, the wildlife, the sunrise, the stars at night, it’s truly such a beautiful place to rest and recoup. Bed is super comfy and the shower stays warm. It’s only 15 minutes from Hobart CBD (a few minutes more with peak hour traffic), but trust me when I say, you probably won’t want to leave! Maybe just for food haha. Overall, Tanya and the family truly put so much thought and care into these eco-friendly pods. Not to mention, she’s an absolutely lovely soul. Thank you for the best experience, Tanya! Oh, and there’s a mini fridge, toaster and microwave but definitely should store some food in the fridge as there’s no cooktop. Can’t wait to come back! 🙌🏼

    This was a beautiful last stop on our girls' trip! The vanilla pod was beautiful, and the two single-bed configuration was comfortable. We enjoyed drinking wine and watching all of the Padmelons and bunnies in the yard. We brought leftovers to heat in the microwave, so had everything we needed for a night in. The composting toilet was the nicest I'd ever seen - it felt like a real bathroom, and there was no smell at all! Check-in was easy, and Tanya was a friendly and gracious host! It is an easy 30-minute drive to the airport.

    Absolutely nothing. No complaints whatsoever!

    The Vanilla Pod was absolutely incredible. Even before we entered the pod, my partner & I were in awe of the surrounds - beautiful gardens, adorable wildlife, and a glorious ocean view. We continued to be blown away as we stepped inside our pod. Tanya & Byran have clearly put a lot of thought, care & effort into this place. We also appreciated how they are environmentally conscious and that the Pod is equipped to be highly eco-friendly.

    The drop toilet was a surprise but we got used to it. Not having a kitchen sink was a bit more of a challenge. I would have liked a stove top as we didn’t want to go into Hobart for dinner but it all worked out fine.

    Lovely garden with a fabulous view. Lots of wallabies and rabbits. A perfect hideaway close to Hobart or Mt Wellington. Tanya makes an awesome caramel slice and is very friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches making it very cozy.
