Immaculate cottage in beautiful surrounds

Beautiful surrounds with fully fenced yard. The cottage was immaculate and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Hazel was easy, prompt and super friendly. Cheese platter on arrival and the whole experience was wonderfully relaxing. Easy drive to Hobart and was a perfect nights stay for me and my two little furry friends.Thank you to the hosts!

Just Delightful

Hazel was fabulous to communicate with. The cottage was super comfortable, with everything we needed. Lots of doggy friendly extras (couch over, towels, dog bowl etc), plus was fully fenced. There was even a bottle of bubbles and cheese and crackers in the fridge to enjoy after we had unpacked. The location is fabulous, close to all the beaches, plus whatever else you may need, ie, delis, grocers, and eating establishments. These are all a short drive away. We will be staying again!

Lovely Cottage - Excellent Host

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful little cottage. Private, very clean, the bed was super comfy. We appreciated the cheese and fruit platter and well stocked amenities. Our dogs loved being able to run around the huge yard which is well fenced. Hazel is very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Sandford cottage

This was a beautifully presented property. The property manager was there to let us in. It was generously stocked with tea, coffee, biscuits, milk etc. Everything was very clean and in good condition. Most importantly it was lovely for the dogs. I would definitely recommend it and would love to stay there again.
