This is such a great place. Location wise, it was even better than we'd expected. Only wished we'd been more organised and bought tickets earlier for the cricket - walking distance away! The beach is fantastic with kids and within very easy walking distance. Easy walk to cafes, good resteraunts (we loved the Italian one! Though make sure you book if you want to dine-in on a weekend!) and Bellerive village waterfront. Really quick drive to Tasmania's biggest shopping centre and the local library. And an easy drive into the cbd including Salamanca. A good base for day trips out to Port Arthur or Richmond or the many wineries, chocolateries, berry picking etc along the way. We had a fabulous 6 nights here with a 2&5 year old but could easily have spent longer and would come back for sure. Quality kitchen, comfy beds, clean house and really lovely views. Our favourite thing was the table and chairs on the deck overlooking the water, that we ate most of our meals at. Thanks Matt and Louise for enabling us to have such a relaxing holiday!
