We actually stayed in the main house as studio was booked. Our host was excellent in responding to my questions, very prompt and professional and accommodating. He was not at the property. The studio looks a lot more modern although we did not see inside. The main house is a renovated possibly 1900s home? It was clean and nice, though very cold but there were lots of heaters we could move around and electric blankets in all beds. We arrived at night so it was a little scary looking for my girlfriend. The neighbourhood was deserted with not much available at night time, but there is a close town near by with restaurants that open later which the host recommended. My only disappointment was it didn't have wifi and signal was very weak even on Telstra, but I guess that's not the reason you go to Tassie :)
