We found Saskia's place to be great for 2 people but a bit cramped for 4, especially given that we were charged extra to have 4 people.
Pros
- Location is perfect! (few min drive from Bicheno blowhole and 35 min from Freycinet)
- Clean and renovated - The place is tastefully decorated and looks great!
- Lots of natural light
- Friendly hosts - Saskia has tons of knowledge of the area and offered some great tips
Cons
- Cramped for 4 people - It's a small studio so it's really better suited for 2. The sofabed wasn't the most comfortable (you can feel the springs when you sleep).
- Privacy - This is a multi-unit property. This corner unit has a ton of floor to ceiling windows which is great for natural light but not so great for privacy. There were often people walking outside so we had to have the blinds down most of the time. Also, the walls aren't very soundproof so you can hear neighbors talking in the adjacent unit and sometimes hear people in their rooms from the parking lot.
- Not enough dishes - There's no place to do dishes in the studio so you have to place dirty dishes in a container where they are picked up and cleaned in the morning. Since there are only 4 cups/plates/bowls, the four of us found ourselves running out of dishes often.
