Our host was not there to meet us when we arrived but we had corresponded in advance and everything was perfectly set up for our arrival. Instructions covering everything from parking through accessing wifi were laid out in a binder. We were a small family group ranging in age from 20 through 76 and this home was wonderfully suitable for all of us. This family home is in an extremely scenic location on the water and is a short walk from the ferry to the CBD and more coffee shops and restaurants than we were able to explore in the week that we were there. We took the ferry to the CBD for days spent in the city (museums, shopping etc.) and had hired a car for excursions further afield. Driving in and out of Devonport and parking were very straight forward (even for a slightly nervous, North American driver). It was also perfect for those who just wanted to relax in the back garden and enjoy the beautiful setting.
