Aerie is one of those places you won’t want to leave. This was our second visit having previously stayed 3 nights in April 2021 before Sam owned it. We didn’t think it could get any better but a number of changes have made it even better. There are so many positives about this place I risk missing a few in a review like this. For starters there is now an espresso machine which means you can get your Java fix in any of 4 ways - espresso, plunger, stovetop espresso or instant. Stylishly appointed and warm and comfortable to be in, it’s the perfect place for some total relaxation. Whether from the lounge, soaking in the bath or lazing on the bed, the views are spectacular and the spaces say ‘chill’ as soon as you enter. The stairs down to the ‘Scandinavian Spa’ deck now has a handrail which will make it a little less intimidating for some. The hot tub, fire pit and sauna are all wood fired and is a great place to release any stress regardless of the weather. Just remember to light the fire for the hot tub every day even if you don’t plan to use it otherwise it will take more than a few hours to get the water back up to a suitable temperature. The bottom deck down by the water is a great place for some yoga or sunrise meditation if you’re into that. We stayed 5 nights this time and Sam offered a mid stay mini clean with fresh linen which was much appreciated. So close to Hobart so you can easily head to some fabulous restaurants for dinner but a million miles from stress, we’ll definitely be back. Thanks Sam.
