My family and I love our visit to the Round House. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnb accommodation both in Australia and overseas. We were after something a bit different on our trip to Tasmania. Even though we were the first official Airbnb guests, I took a chance, and I wasn't disappointed.

We arrived later than I had intended and Kim was fine with that. He had the fire warming the house and it was lovely to come in in the late afternoon, warmed by the heat of the fire, overlooking the views of the mountains. We ate home made nachos on the deck and it was delightful.

Kim's round house is a labour of love. He has created a beautiful house that is quirky and works well in the natural landscape. The house is powered by hydroelectricity ingenuity. There isn't enough for a hair dryer, but there is a small TV, a little wifi from a system Kim has rigged up, and sometimes there is one bar of mobile reception.

There is a lovely semi rainforest walk out the front door (it's not long but it is so beautiful and you can see the old nut tree area). We also got to check out Kim's other building projects.

Deloraine is about 20 minutes drive. It's a great town and has a large supermarket. Kim is well known in the area and you can see his work down by the river where he created a round bench encircling a tree. He also has a sculpture in the main street.

This is not for you if you want 5 star luxury. But if you want something unusual and you want to be in a bush setting, this place might be perfect for you.

I look forward to returning sometime soon! Thank you, Kim!
