After the booking process, Lalita connected with me and made me feel welcome to her house. I felt relaxed from that moment on, because this was my first Airbnb experience. When I arrived, Lalita met me in the driveway to help me with my gear. The house to me felt like a home away from home straight away: cosy, warm, very comfortable with a grand view to the ocean from the lounge room . My bedroom was just to my liking, spacious, double bed, firm just right for my back, with a special mattress for health. I slept very well the whole week, the park next door and the quiet neighborhood contributing to that. Lalita and her husband made me feel at home. The conversations with hot cups of tea and the wealth of knowledge about Tasmania were a true bonus. Also I made huge friends with their pets, Lily a beautiful dog and Owen the smoochy cat, they made my every day. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to go, even though I opted to not go through the work of cooking during my holidays. There are beautiful restaurants around at the beach 3 minutes away by car, and a nearby shopping centre if you choose to cook.
Lalita and her husband are special people, relaxed and warm hearted, knowing what is needed in every situation. Wether you need a rest, space or company. If nobody can talk to you because of work, there is always Lily and Owen happy to oblige! There is a little sign board outside at the entrance: People come as strangers and leave as friends. So true.
A big thank you to both of them to make a great stay possible! I was happy that I booked for seven days. And yes, I will be back!
