The Hideaway was a gorgeous place to spend my solo Tassie vacation: beautifully designed, cosy, and the open rooves were such a fun, memorable feature - made the space feel larger and instantly aired it out after a day of sightseeing.
I had wondered about bugs getting in but it wasn't an issue for me, perhaps it's not the time of year. Really enjoyed being able to relax and experience the day without even leaving the pod.
Location-wise I found it very convenient, even without a car. About a 20min walk to the CBD, with a couple of cute cafes nearby - Stabla was my pick.
A couple things happened during my stay that were beyond the hosts' control - on my third day, the electric lock malfunctioned, so I was stuck inside a couple times while trying to leave. Also the WiFi cut out so I was unable to access Netflix, YouTube, Spotify etc through the TV. Unfortunately these were ongoing issues when I left but Rebecca and the team responded promptly to let me out, and offered to swap my accommodation for another listing on their property, in one wing of their huge heritage mansion, overlooking the bay. This was most appreciated, and I hope these things are resolved for the family now.
Overall I had a lovely stay and look forward to stopping by again in future!
