By far the best place we stayed during our Tasmanian holiday! You will love the huge house with its cosy fireplace and, wow, the views! Water views from all main living areas and bedrooms. The deck is huge and looks out over the water through beautiful trees inhabited by all kinds of lovely Tassie birds. You can wander across to the beach for a walk and swim. White, white sand and shells galore.
The house is very clean and very comfortable. It has a well stocked kitchen which we recommend you use because dining out options are limited. We also recommend stopping in Geeveston for your supplies. It is tourist friendly, has a great cafe, interesting little shops and most excitingly, we saw a couple of platypuses playing in the creek that runs through town! So awesome!
Dover on the other hand...hmmm. The bakery was open on Sunday but "we don't bake bread on Sundays". Anothe day, do you have multigrain? "Ah...this one has sesame seeds on top!" At the RSL, meal orders were mixed up, our 2 dinners arrived as our other 2 guests finished theirs. The steak was inedible. And imagine this...we walked up to the bar for a beer, the barperson grabbed two dirty glasses off the bar that someone else had used and started filling them for us! When we asked if we could have clean glasses, she looked confused, glanced around vaguely and said, "I don't think we have any left". Then, clearly annoyed by now, she searched to find 2 glasses at the back of a cupboard. So incredulous we could only laugh.
Anyway, cooking our own steak dinner on Honni's BBQ and eating in front of the sublime views from her deck, then going inside to the warmth of the fire for a wine, was infinitely better! Highly recommended!
