Weekend away
Perfect spot for a weekend hiking in Freycinet National Park.
Beautiful views and comfortable house. Make sure to bring oil/paper towels/baking paper/salt pepper etc - sensibly no longer supplied due to the difficulties of sanitising these during the current pandemic

This property had an amazing view and was well set up for a beach holiday in Coles Bay. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedding and furniture. Great outdoor deck to enjoy the sunshine! A great selection of books and board games. We could walk to the local cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed this house. Thanks!!

Spectacular view
We have visited Coles Bay numerous times and this property simply has the best view we have had at any rentals in Coles Bay. Spectacular. A great property with everything you need. The only thing to top it off would have been a coffee machine, but bring your own stove top espresso and you’ll be set. A great place and we’d love to come back.

Million dollar view
Great property located a short 5 minute drive from the park. The view is stunning and the house itself is well presented with plenty of room for a family or a group of people. The two seating areas are a fabulous idea, one for enjoying the view, the other for TV viewing. Inside and outside dining areas for all weather events. Overall a fantastic place that I highly recommend if you are wanting to discover Freycinet National Park and all it has to offer.

The View was awsome, waking up to that every morning was very relaxing. Driving your car up the steep driveway was fine but making sure you didn't scratch your car as the shrubs need to be cut back. Second bedroom with Queen Bed in it was very tight, barely any room to put your bags and no where to hand your clothes if you needed to.

Fantastic house in fantastic location
Our stay in Coles Bay could not have been better. All the rooms were spacious, bathrooms clean with nice strong showers.
The view from the kitchen to the mountains was unbelievable.
Undercover parking was great on the one rainy morning.
The only tiny complaint we noticed was the lack of things that may be helpful in the kitchen like cooking oil ,extra dishcloths and a mop for the floor.
And being super picky, every door on the bedrooms and bathroom squeaked, in the same tune, so sneaking to the bathroom was impossible through the night.
These are minor, minor problems which in no way spoilt our stay and we would be happy to recommend this house to anyone.
Very clean and well appointed- give it a go.
