Testimonials

We often get thank you messages left by happy guests… but this one felt special as it was written by a young boy who stayed in our B&B with is mum. Very thoughtful.

 

Thank you so much for this refreshing place to spend a few nights.

Thank you for the lovely accommodation and solitude over the last 3 days and nights. You have a beautiful location and cottage and I have enjoyed the nature, serenity and hospitality during my stay. It has been perfect for some headsapce and time to sit back, take a deep breath, relax and contemplate life. Thank you once again, Michael (8 June 2017)

Thank you for a superb few days. Wonderful accommodation and position. We used buses and explored a lot, and even fitted in lemonade scones at the Signal Station Brasserie !

A recent review from TripAdvisor:
“This place is a hidden gem! We only stayed one night but would have gladly had longer if it hadn’t been booked out.
Really comfortable with everything we needed and great supplies for a decent continental breakfast.
The best thing about this place is it’s location – right at the top of Mt. Nelson, next to the Signal Station. Spectacular views through the bush, overlooking Hobart and the Derwent River. Even had wallabies in the back yard when we arrived.
Only a 10 minute drive from Hobart, so central to so many places and attractions, yet such a peaceful setting. Great place to come home to after a busy day touring.
Wonderful hosts. Highly recommend this place “

Many thanks for the lovely stay at your beautiful cottage. Everything was absolutely spot-on.
We will return, I am sure, but I do not know when.
We will recommend you to our family and friends.”

“We enjoyed the location and setting of the cottage. The cottage itself was adequate for the price. The kitchenette was somewhat cramped and awkward to use, even for making coffee, and we were quite cold during the time we stayed (mid-winter). On the whole, we enjoyed our stay there, though.”
Guest rating: 3/5  – Anthea, SA – July 09
Our response: “Sorry to hear you were cold as the heater in the room is very powerful. There must have been an issue with the settings and we could have easily solved the problem if we had known.”

“Very nice, comfortable and quiet. Beautiful view over Hobart. Excellent value for money and excellent service from the hosts. We can highly recommend this place. “
