If you have dogs that are well behaved and love the beach this is a great place to stay. We had a wonderful time here. We walked to the beach each day and also drove to Carlton Beach, parked the car and walked. The house is very comfortable, clean, large, internet. It was great as my husband loves watching his sport and there is a perfect (man cave) with another tv in it while I watched tv in the living room. It is actually a tv room which would be perfect for kids. We love cooking and enjoyed cooking in this kitchen, it is large with a big stove/oven and loved staying in at night with a good home cooked meal and a glass of red. The location is fabulous to do some touring around. The Port Arthur Historic Site is a must, it is an exceptional museum and you could spend a whole day there breaking it up to sit and have breaks, have lunch in the restaurant, you can even take your dogs which we did and they loved it, the slept super well that night as we walked over 10 km that day. Other magnificent spots are Eaglehawk Nest, Pirates Bay etc, get a map and it will give you the spots to visit. Thank you Lucy, as we are now living in Tasmania we will return to your home, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
