Jim’s place is perfect for a family getaway. Easy walking distance to the bluff (beach, park, walking and bike tracks) plus only a short 2-3 minute drive into the shopping areas. I was able to stroll along to Parkrun Saturday morning and the kids enjoyed going to the park. We even managed a game of tennis using Jim’s racquets and balls.
The house itself is very comfortable, with plenty of space for the family to stretch and rest. My five year old especially liked the window in the staircase as he believed it was especially made for train watching. No trains went past unfortunately so he missed out, much to his dismay.
As we had travelled over the Easter long weekend we were happy to be welcomed with a bowl of Easter eggs (thanks Jim!) and plenty of kitchen equipment so I could whip up a batch of my famous Mousse Eggs for Easter dinner. Luckily the Easter Bunny found us and left eggs all over the front and backyard which the kids loved exploring. Each night when we returned home we were welcomed by the local wallaby family.
Jim was very pleasant to deal with, answered all my questions and check in was a breeze. The house is well-loved so we felt comfortable letting the kids roam (sorry if all the pillows and blankets were not returned to their correct spot, as the kids built a cushion fort!). I would recommend Jim’s place to any family looking for accomodation in the Devonport area. :)
