We loved this cute little cottage set in beautiful gardens. Everything you can think of is provided, including fresh flowers on the table and delicious, locally-sourced breakfast ingredients. Lesley is just the perfect host - she even popped in with freshly-picked cherries and raspberries for us one afternoon!
There was just one small issue - there is no aircon and we happened to have an unusually hot Christmas Day (31 c). The ceiling fan didn't cut it, but to be fair, I think this is the first time we have ever known it to be that hot in Tassie (and we go there regularly). We stayed for 3 nights and the rest of the time it was just fine.
Be aware that the cottage has no real bathroom, only a shower cubicle hidden behind a door off the kitchen, which means you need to step into the kitchen/lounge to dry yourself really, but it's not a huge problem. (Lesley mentioned she has plans for a proper bathroom at some point.)
There is a cute little pagoda thing outside with a table, chairs and a string of star-shaped lights to make your evening meal feel special. You are also free to relax in the gardens and enjoy the beautiful views of the river, along with the affectionate company of Max the cat.
Overall, it's a gorgeous little place and Lesley could not make you feel more welcome. It's also the perfect location for exploring stunning Huon Valley and the south coast.
