Fair Winds was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed. The photos really don't do it justice - the rooms, the views, the whole set-up - it was all fantastic and the only downside was that we couldn't stay longer.
The views really are spectacular - it's such a gorgeous setting and the drive down from Hobart was breath taking. It was so lovely to be able to get the fire going on a morning and sit with my fresh coffee watching the sun come up and the wee boats trundle up the estuary. We made great use of the hot tub which was such a treat (make sure you use it at night at least once, and switch all the lights off - it's so special!).
When we arrived, Rachael had left us a free bottle of champagne and some fresh bread and local Tassie butter, as well as a full fruit bowl of gorgeous apples. The kitchen also had lots of great things like herbal teas, fresh milk, cupboard staples and herbs and spices, which made cooking there a breeze.
The master bedroom was *amazing* - huge bed, the best views over the water and out onto the trees, as well as its own wee deck, and a walk in wardrobe leading to the en suite. We didn't use the bath as we only had a couple of days there (not long enough!) but it had the best view out onto the trees and down to the private beach.
I was there with my partner - now fiance after we got engaged on the deck! and I can definitely recommend it as a wonderful, private and romantic couples retreat. But I'd just as happily go back with a group of friends for a few days. The other rooms off the living room were all a good size and there's an extra bathroom and separate loo which would allow for a good number of people to stay.
We would go back in a heart beat. 12/10!
