Both Expedia and the property need to talk to each other - on the Expedia site it advised that I had booked a 2 bedroom apartment but on getting to the property it was 1 room with us all in together - 1 queen bed and a foldout sofa. We were fine with this but I can well imagine a lot of disappointed customers turning up to this situation - please rectify this immediately!

I am a regular visitor to Tasmania. This is a great property with clean country cottage style accommodation. The pool table was handy for Teenagers. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

The property is in a lovely quiet location however it could do with more parking spaces and having the water pressure looked at in the showers also better lighting in the bathrooms .😊

Verified traveller

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Extremely disappointed. Ants, spiders and long term dust; doona smelled so musty that could not be used; had to remove a painting hanging above the bed as there were ants appearing from behind. Spiders also inhabited this space along with a build up of mouldy dust. I could go on but the final straw was instruction from management to sort our own rubbish into their recycle bins and wipe down hard surfaces. This is nowhere close to the standards encountered around Tasmania.

Unique property surrounded by nature
A lovely quiet property surrounded by nature with everything needed for a pleasant stay. I would have been stranded at dusk on the way to explore for platypuses if Sophie, the beautiful dog, had not rushed to escort me to the river. Gina is a delightful and helpful hostess.

A nice unit
A nice spacious, comfortable and well appointed 2 bedroom unit that is close to the township of Bridport by car (or walking if you don't mind a 3k walk). Handy to the golf courses (5 min by car). Would have scored full points if the bathroom had been in top condition (floor tiles raised and shower door off centre) and water pressure in the shower was better.
