Outstanding views! (We had planned a day trip to Maria Island but we ended up spending the entire day at the cottage instead as we didn't want to leave!). Perfectly chosen "beach shack" furniture (cane chairs etc). Basic facilities as you'd expect for cottage but all that you would need, plus more spacious than is expected from the photos. Excellent communication from the host Lorne, very timely, helpful, and generous. Lovely personal touches of board games, playing cards, a handwritten note about beach towels, electronic candles, and brochures of local tips for sightseeing and eating out. Heating was adequate even in the middle of Tassie winter; we felt very toasty and cosy (we didn't even test out the woodfire as we were warm enough with just the heater on). Kitchen had everything we needed and it was very handy to be able to cook and not go out. The entire place was immaculately clean - I am allergic to dust and had zero issues. The sunroom off the main bedroom was a beautiful little spot to eat breakfast and meditate with fantastic ocean views. Definitely 5 stars for Lorne's place. And then on top of that, Lorne donates the profits to charities (there is a folder showing the details and tax receipts of donations to organisations such as Hobart Women's Shelter, Oxfam etc) which is incredibly generous and beautiful, so if I could give it 6/5 stars for that added generosity, I would!
