Marg and Ian are lovely hosts, really communicative, friendly and great to be around. We've been learning about environmental building principles for about four years, focusing on straw bale builds so it was interesting to learn a little more about passive house building and get a feel of living in one. The kids appreciated the toys Marg provided and our son really loved feeding the chickens. For us the road was too fast for walking to town which was sad as we aim for a few days in each stay away from the car, but others will not find it a problem. However, the kids liked spending a day around the house and garden and it was a great spot for visiting Launceston, Trowuna Wildlife Park - amazing!!, the Tamar wineries and the North Coast. We struggled with wakings due to the light blinds and lack of bedroom door but Marg proposed a solution that improved this. Unfortunately we accidentally chipped a small bit of Marg and Ian's beautiful paintwork - so sorry again!
