The cottage was lovely and cosy, with lots of indoor plants and a stone walled shower. It was lovely to wake to sunrise views over Hobart from bed. The kitchen had all I needed with 2 hot plates and a plug-in convection box oven, olive oil, jug of milk, apple cider vinegar, lots of teas and also home grown herbs for herbal teas. (No microwave)
Right outside the cottage you can see fairy wrens, Tasmanian native hens, pademelons & wallabies on the lawn. Plus Mieke’s impressive fruit/veggie gardens.
I walked down the gorgeous Cascade Trail, which leads to the bus stop into town. If you have longer you can continue walking all the way to town along the pretty Rivulet track. Mieke also had lots of books about Tasmania on the cottage bookcase, and an excellent map of Mount Wellington for keen hikers. Mieke was very helpful in showing me the books & maps which would be most useful for what I was planning.
A lovely place to stay.
