I was looking for a place that was close to the beach for walking, where I could see the sea and gaze at the horizon from inside if the weather closed in, that was warm, comfortable, with a decent kitchen that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I found all that here at Nel's place Taroona Beachside, which more than satisfied all of these needs. I had a great week. It's not 5 star but it is good affordable waterfront accommodation (which is so rare) and I would happily stay here again. If location, peace and quiet, sea views and beach walks are more important to you than posh new interiors then this is the place for you.

Nel was a great host. Happy to assist with anything I needed and left yummy warm bread rolls on my door step every morning. Sorry Nel if I have now created an expectation for future guests ;-) Optus reception was not great which really just provided another excuse to walk across the road to the beach where I could find it no problem. But that is the case with Optus in so many places in Tasmania, and internet access helped work around that issue.

The view from the living space was sublime. Dawn and dusk beach walks provided so many photo opportunities. And the huge spa bath was a bonus. Thanks Nel for a great week. Charming place. So glad I found it. Looking forward to staying there again.
