Platypus Cottage is quite lovely! It is totally self-contained and has everything you could possibly need. It has a little deck to eat breakfast on, overlooking a large pond (and an adorable puppy to play with!). Paula is very friendly but gave us our own space to chill and enjoy the setting. We would highly recommend Platypus Cottage as a stop between Lake St Clair and Hobart, and as a base for the nearby National Park containing Russell Falls.
