Overall we were disappointed by the Arthouse accommodation. A number of features of the house are not made clear in the Air B&B listing. The house is on tank water and septic, not usually an issue. However the bathroom absolutely stunk. Also there is a note advising guests to boil water prior to drinking, there was a box of hertz still water in the cupboard, however it was 3 years past its best before date. There are three steps leading from the lawn to the deck of the house, there is no railing or support, there are another three stairs leading from the living area to the second bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and art studio. To access the shower you need to climb into bath. In other words this house is not suitable for anyone with any mobility issues. A number of things in the house did not work, out of 9 lights in the living room, only three worked. The ipod in the living room did not work, one of the lamps in the second room did not work. Under floor heating in both the second bedroom and bathroom no longer works. There is no heating in the second bedroom. The house was very well decorated, however the whole place felt uncared for.
There was a very strong unpleasant odour of wood smoke in the house on arrival, and it is suspected that the flue / chimney may require cleaning.
A great area with the noise of the ocean close, and some visiting bird life was lovely.
Compared to other properties we stayed at in Tasmania, The Arthouse was very expensive.
