Review
My family (four adults and one child) stayed at Birchs Bay Farm B&B for three nights. The B&B is a large property with loads of comfortable, well equipped living space and the most amazing views overlooking the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
Host Scottie has accomplished a perfect balance of style and homeliness, with a property that one can relax in and that still looks very stylish. The view is simply stunning, and the property makes the most of it with large floor to ceiling windows along all the forward facing rooms and living areas.
The living areas are well furnished and there are fascinating books about Tasmania on hand. Heating is excellent and is present in bedrooms and living areas. Kitchen is very well kitted out with crockery etc and lots of utensils for meal preparation. Dishwasher made cleaning the dishes easy. Two good sized bathrooms next to the bedrooms.
The property is owned and hosted by Scottie, who lives in an adjacent but separate area, so we had the experience of a self contained property, but with the benefits of generous, hand delivered breakfast supplies, and assistance available if we needed it.
In fact, it was Scottie’s wonderful hosting that made our stay here so special. He is an attentive, genuine and friendly host who was very helpful and accessible without being intrusive or obvious.
My daughter enjoyed feeding the sheep and hens as well as collecting the eggs each day, and watching the wrens and robins that abound around the property.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone, but particularly those that want to explore the beautiful villages and countryside South of Hobart, or as a relaxing getaway with an incredible view.
