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!

Beautiful property and fabulous location. Hazel is a wonderful host and she has created a lovely little retreat that is well worth the stay! Perfect for us and our 2 frenchies. They had a ball running around exploring in the very secure large yard.

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.

It's the little touches that make this stay perfection!

Hubby, myself and our fubabies were extremely comfortable in this well appointed cottage. I loved that there were the basics for cooking - oil, salt and pepper, paper towel etc - and the coffee/tea cupboard was a wonderful little surprise. The fully enclosed yard was MASSIVE with cleared areas and natural bushlands which gave our girls plenty to explore. Highly recommend.

Full Cottage, Private Entrance, Peaceful Space

My husband, our dog, and I stayed one night in this cottage and absolutely loved it. We had our privacy, but could easily contact host if needed. Once checked in we had our own private exit/entry. The cottage was very clean, beautiful designed, and the little touches left for guests by the host were very much appreciated. We were so sad we only booked it for a night. Our dog didn't want to leave either. Thank you for a WONDERFUL home away from home.
