We arrived at Japa Hill (located at Jaba Hill) for our two night stay with a warm welcome from Lilasuka, his beautiful wife JayaSri, and a waggy welcome from their little dog Bella (whose whole body wagged when her tail did so). Lila and JayaSri were wonderful from the start- communicative via emails, promptly responding to any and every query, and also happy to help with local attractions and must visit sites- I highly recommend having a chat with Lila to get an understanding of the lay of North Western Tassie.
Their home is comfortable, clean with a fire started prior to our arrival, and a lovely bathroom and inbuilt kitchen. Not that you have to do your own cooking! JayaSri is a wonderful cook- her vegetarian fare is just scrumptious - most produce is locally grown on their sustainable little farm. A must to have!
We will definitely be back again to Japa Hill- certainly made firm friends with their gorgeous cow Surabhi, her brother Nandi and her fat little calf Bhishma :) please do bring a few apples to share with them - they will follow you around everywhere ( and Billy the goat too).
We must confess we fell in love with this vegetarian farm and their wonderful owners and extended animal family- thank you very much for sharing your love of life with us.
