The villa was everything we expected and more - Michelle was extremely understanding of issues we were having with online access and went out of her way to accommodate our needs, the villa itself has heaps of space, is well-furnished, nicely decorated, neat as a pin and is close to everything. Make a point of watching the Spirit of Tasmania dock or leave port, you have front row seats from a number of spots around the house.
The whole of northern Tasmania from Launceston around to Stanley is alive with 1st class food and beverage venues (wineries, whisky/gin distilleries, craft beer breweries - you name it) right down to cheese and chocolate factories. Even in the middle of winter it's well worth the visit. We will definitely be back and hope that Michelle will have us again at the villa.
