Homestays in Tasmania, Australia

The room was very nice, the boss was very nice, and he also provided a rich breakfast. It is also very convenient to go to various tourist attractions. It's also very close to the city. The overall feeling of staying here is very relaxing!

After the hike, take a warm bath—it's so comfortable! The cabin is a decent size, and the bed even has an electric blanket. The service was excellent, and they turned on the heater early. Even with the snow falling outside, it was cozy inside. The cooking utensils are quite complete, but you'll need to bring your own seasoning. The little animals that visit the balcony are truly magical. One night at Cradle Mountain isn't enough; plan on staying at least two.

It is a cabin in the national park. The room is very cold when you enter. You need to light a fire for several hours to warm it up. It is too hot to sleep at night. The heating lamp in the toilet is broken and it is very cold to go to the toilet. The bedroom is on the second floor and the toilet is on the first floor next to the door, which is a bit inconvenient. The water from the tap is yellow and it is still yellow after a long time. No bottled water is provided.

It's low season. I saw only 2 groups of guests (2 people per group) including mine during our stay. We occupied the best room type (2-bedroom) with kitchenette, hot shower, heater in the dining room, TV, heater to the bedding which is a hearty touch in such a cold area. It can accommodate 7 to 8 people in the room. Very quiet, we only heard waves at the beach which's at the opposite side of the main road about the front of our house. I read many negative comments on the male host (Scott?) before our stay, but our actual experience is that he's ok, we didn't feel anything bad about him. He is kind to advise us the best location to watch stars and southern lights. The worst thing that we must mention is the poor quality of water which is brownish yellow. So we dared not use the tap water for cooking or drinking. This is very undesirable.

The room completely exceeded our expectations, and the reception was very friendly. Initially, I thought the hotel looked a bit old from the official pictures, but once we checked in, I found it to be excellent. I was very satisfied with the cleanliness, furnishings, and overall environment. The location is great, less than 200 meters from the Visitor Center, and it's only a 3-minute drive to Peppers for dinner. It's also a 2-minute drive to the Cradle Mountain center. In the evenings, we even saw animals outside our room, which was a very special experience. We visited in autumn, and wood was already provided in the room, so burning charcoal in the stove ourselves was a lot of fun. All in all, we were very satisfied and would definitely choose this place again when we return to Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park.

Whole apartment including toilets are equipped with heater, we feel comfortable with the chilly cold weather outside, especially up in high attitude Cradle Mountain. It was equipped with complete set of pots & pans, stove, microwave, fridge to cook our own meals.  We managed to send message (via Trip.com) to alert on our late checkin, special arrangement for self-checkin after their work hours. Biggest problem we have problem figuring out where to collect the apartment key as it was raining & sky turning dark. Although we only stayed for a night, we do feel like staying home, so comfortable. Our dislike is we had to check out before 10am in which we don’t have much time to explore in early morning since it was raining since night before until morning, it’s like we just booked in for a night sleep that’s it.

Everything you need in this house is perfect. The kitchenette is cozy and super warm, thanks to the heater that the house owner had open before we arrived. There’s no heater in the bedroom, but they have a warming blacket instead. It’s just a 30-minute drive from Cradle Mountain. Would recommend this house to everyone who plan traveling to Tasmania.

Here’s the translation: 1. A very cute and Modern room, beautifully decorated, exactly like the photos. 2. The hosts are very friendly; it's basically their home, with only two rooms available for guests. If you’re lucky, you might encounter their grandchildren swimming and playing, hearing their laughter. 3. The room's amenities are quite high quality, and the space is ample. 4. Breakfast is provided early in the room, including bread, various types of jams and butter, milk, orange juice, and a variety of cereal options. Tea bags are also available. 5. There’s a free washing machine and laundry powder, but no dryer. 6. The location is within a 20-minute drive from Launceston. 7. If you want a quiet and comfortable space, this is a great choice.

Proximity to Port Arthur historical site. Secluded cabin with view of the bay. Helpful and friendly front desk personnel, Laura.

Information about checking in was sent to us via email a day before were were due. Staircase was narrow, so was quite difficult to bring large luggage up. Room looks wonderful and tastefully done. We had the suite, and as such, has an adjoining bedroom as well. The balcony was nice for a sit down to relax. Breakfast provided at the ground floor dining room as simple but sufficient for us. Bread toast, cereals, juicies, tea & coffee. We stayed 2 nights, The location is not far from Launceston main CBD. The neighbourhood was quiet at night, so was quite peacefull. Street parking in front of it is available, but parking charges takes effect from 9am, but did not impact us much as we are out.
