I spent the most heavenly week at Craig’s gorgeous tiny home (which actually feels really spacious and luxurious). Somehow it’s even more beautiful than the pictures, and so artfully curated.
The heating made the place super cozy and comfortable, and the vistas from every window were so peaceful to watch. I loved cooking at home, reading by the fire, watching the pademelons and quolls wander around at night, and going for strolls by the creek (and around the neighbourhood to say hi to the cute cows). If you like cute Aussie animals, Craig’s place is amazing—the sun goes down and they all emerge like magic. Craig’s place has such a relaxing aura—I honestly could have stayed here a month and not got bored.
The house is really well located—only 30mins from Hobart, easy to find, and there is only a few kms of unsealed road that is actually pretty smooth (so no risk of stone chips if you’re in a hire car, which I was). There is a big Woolworths and other stores in the town 10mins away, so very easy to stock up with whatever you need. Willie Smith’s Apple Shed was lots of fun, and it was a beautiful drive to Maria Island for a day trip too. Coming from Sydney, it’s really hard to find somewhere so conveniently located that still feels so private, quiet and surrounded by wide open space.
Lastly, I am so grateful to Craig for his kindness and hospitality. He is an outstanding host who goes above and beyond for his guests. I expect to come back and stay sometime next year to revisit this perfect slice of paradise.
