    The position of the cottage with fabulous water views from every room is a big plus. Attention to detail - the excellent coffee machine, excellent kitchen equipment and lovely bed were all the cream on the cake.

    Wish the main area would have blinds you can open a dam close yourself as the main bedroom didn’t have a heating device and if we left our door open to get warmth the light shone in our room and would wake us.

    Beautiful location and good facilities

    Perhaps some steps from the deck to the grass would make access easier, and safer.

    We loved staying at this quirky round house! It appealed on the website, and did not disappoint, as the location and views of the harbour were fabulous. We enjoyed the tranquility of sitting on the deck watching the water, as the tide rolled out and revealed amazing sandbanks to walk on. Inside, the living area provided a wonderful sunny, warm space to relax in, and the water view from the bedroom was delightful.

    Waking up to the stunning view of Taylor’s Bay was like nothing else! Those big beautiful large glass panels around the cottage gave perfect unobstructed water views, and the deck was very much utilised for morning coffee, cheese boards, wine and oysters galore! The property felt nice and private, couldn’t see the neighbours at all! Plenty of space, the main bedroom was huge, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils needed, and it was very useful having a washer/dryer in the bathroom. Couldn’t fault it… was a top location… half way between the neck and the light house, close to the pub, and was pretty much a central point to all the places we wanted to go. Had some little wildlife friends visit in the evening!!! Wish we had stayed longer! Thank you for having us!!

    The price was a little expensive compared to other Bruny Island houses. The rooms were a good size. The doors leading out to the front deck could have been more secure. There wasnt a step off the deck.

    The location was very quiet and peaceful, with lots of wildlife to observe. There was everything you required while on holidays, even an iron. Having a fire was great as the weather was cool. We enjoyed the surroundings of the cottage with lots of trees and views. Nice spot for bird watching. Should've brought the binoculars.

    House was a bit "worn" in one small place - door handle on the door to the back patio was broken and the door does not close squarely. Bathroom could do with some heating (perhaps ceiling heat lamps) as bathroom was freezing and located too far from the house heaters to gain any heat.

    Lovely location and house.

    Unfortunately the property is very close to a dirt road and the dust from the road was excessive due to continual heavy traffic use. The dust infiltrated the cottage regardless of whether the windows and doors were closed. Trying to keep the cottage clean from dust was never ending.

    The property itself was great with all utilities excellent, comfortable bed & superb views.
