Lief, schattig en karakter!
Pros:

Super schattig huisje met een goeie badkamer! Er was zelfs een kleine verwarming om aan te zetten. Goed bed en schoon! Keukentje was prima en er is van alles aanwezig om te gebruiken.

Cons:

Ik vond het jammer dat je het gevoel het dat je de deur niet echt op slot doet. Het is een schattig oud huisje, maar zou wel kleine updates kunnen gebruiken. Wat maintenance zaken zoals het deurkozijn.

Pros:

Bed heater was a nice touch though not really neccessary in Tasmania Winter.

Parking was easy

Cons:

very little soundproofing so you'll likely wake up to neighbourhood sounds (rubbish collector/dogs)

Curtains aren't even close to black-out, lots of light gets in 24/7.

Stairs are extremely steep, could pose a risk to older people

I felt very comfortable with my stay and communication was easy and straight forward. The place had everything I needed
Pros:

It was a very cosy home and had everything I needed to be comfortable for my 2 night stay.

Cons:

I could hear everything from all the neighboring rooms, but this is understandable because we wouldn’t want to make any changes to the historic structure

Cosy accommodation with delightful heritage features - highly recommended.
Pros:

It was delightful to stay in this 1820s building, and the accommodation was cosy, comfortable and homelike. My teenage boys were fascinated by the antique knickknacks and we were all surprised and touched at the level of trust shown in having such nice things in the rooms.

Pros:

The facilities were good. Easy to move around in and very comfortable. It also had a very warm feeling about it.

Cons:

When I booked I didn't realise the staircase up to the room would be so steep. Otherwise it was a lovely cute place. Only one thing I would do is install a handrail up the staircase. For safety.
