What a beautiful little home Geoff and Wendy have created for us airbnb folk to stay in. Driving around the wine region is so beautiful and driving up to Geoff and Wendys place is no different.
The turn off road is easy to find and once you pop over the top of a little hill you a graced with a beautiful green valley full of cows and up on the opposite hill sits their freshly renovated home.
The whole property, not just the house has had there renovating touch added. We arrived mid afternoon to a wonderfully clean house with a brilliant westerly view over the valley from all rooms and a balcony to enjoy the sunset. There aren't too many properties nearby so its just the sounds and smells of nature to sit back and enjoy.
The combined living room and kitchen is spacious with a fireplace already stocked and ready to go. In the kitchen we were treated to a fresh loaf of bread, local jam, and eggs and bacon for breakfast.
The bathroom is a perfect size with a washing machine there if need be.
The bedroom is huge and it was lovely to pull back the curtain open the door to the balcony and stare off into the distance. After our mountain biking earlier in the day it was exactly what was needed.
Being so close to a lot of wonderful wineries we also had some wine to enjoy with our view. This is definitely the best accommodation around to stay in if you wish to visit the wineries around Pipers Brook.
There is a bbq outside and a fire pit ready to go for those wishing to cook themselves dinner. We opted to head to Georgetown to grab dinner but once we saw how beautiful the property was we wished we had brought food with us.
There is no internet at the property which may make some people gasp in horror but we love the fact that we had to put our phones away. The whole reason for visiting such a beautiful part of the world is to sit back, slow down and enjoy nature and your surroundings. If you cant live without jumping online there is phone reception, not perfectly strong but you can get a great signal out on the balcony and a good enough signal inside the living/kitchen and also the bedroom.
As you can tell by now, my wife and I loved the place. We didnt meet Wendy but Geoff came up to welcome us and we had a great chat, he's a lovely guy. I can highly recommend the Diary to stay in and now that we love this part of Tassie we will definitely be back to stay... for more days next time!
