Where do I begin? Captains Rest was a place I’d discovered while searching Airbnb over 2 years ago for a place to stay on a birthday trip. Unsurprisingly it was all booked out for my stay. But I knew at once that I wanted to one day come back to Tasmania solely for the purpose of staying here. Finally, my husband and I decided to come back to Tasmania for my birthday this year. We booked this place 6 months ago as I didn’t want to risk the disappointment of missing out.
We were definitely not disappointed. From the moment we turned the key and opened the door to see those beautiful French windows we knew that we had to come home. The details of every single room was so carefully thought it was clear that’s so much effort has been put into this place. The picture window overlooking the lake was where we spent most of our time admiring the beauty of this beautiful place. We were lucky to have 2 beautiful days of clear skies and at night the stars were incredible. A special mention to the girls, or the ducks, who greet you as if they’ve known you all along. Every morning and afternoon they would say hello. The bathtub was decadent and the beautiful bed was so comfy and I had the best sleep in a long time. All the details make for such an incredible stay here. You won’t be disappointed, in fact you’ll wonder why you didn’t come sooner. We look forward to coming back again soon xx
