We had a wonderful stay at the Tinderbox Cliff House. It's hard to describe just how peaceful it feels being there- truly less than half an hours easy drive from the city and feels like a world away! The weather was sunny and cold, so nice to be inside the warm house, enjoying a blazing fire and looking out at gorgeous water views, seeing native red robins play in the garden. There was lots of wildlife to see, Bennetts wallabies and even an eagle watching from a tree.
The house itself is very comfortable- snug warm beds with fresh white linens add to the sense of peace and soothing atmosphere.
The other great aspect of staying here was closeness to other sights and activities like taking the ferry to Bruny Island, which has an amazing cheese place by the way, and spending a day bush walking or picnicking - the coastal scenery is just beautiful!
We saw lots of people cycling in the area too- there's very little traffic- and we will think about bringing bikes next time.
So I can warmly recommend staying here- everything was easy, comfy, relaxed and so peaceful, all steeped in that clear crisp air that's so Tassie somehow. We will definitely stay here again.
