I was terrifically delighted to be able to stay at Marion's home.
Naturally, the key highlight was being over the road from Kingston Beach. Being able to work with the wash of the waves as background ambience was amazing if not a great distraction as I just wanted to be out on the beach. The view from the deck was so good and I enjoyed eating at the deck even while it rained. I enjoyed fleeting glimpses of kunanyi/Mt Wellington through the rain and snow which was great.
The house was ideal. Everything I needed was available in the kitchen so it was great to be able to do a few big cook ups. The bedrooms were comfortable. The dining and lounge were so spacious. I flicked the TV on fleetingly... it didn't seem right to drown out the surrounds with electronics. The bathroom was wonderfully clean and tidy.
The location is clear of the hustle and bustle of Hobart (as much as it is) yet not so far away that it is not convenient. Kingston is also provides a 15 minute head start on Hobart if you exploring further south.
Marion's AirBnB is the sort of place you arrive at with great plans to explore Tasmania yet find yourself not wanting to leave the indulgence of the beach which is at the front door and a starting point for some beautiful walks.
I hope - really hope - to return.
