    There wasn't anything to dislike.

    The interior was so well designed and had absolutely everything for a very pleasant stay. The deck was great to sit and enjoy watching the wildlife. Loved everything and would recommend to friends

    Hard to see signs for entrance when driving

    Yes it was a shed, but with all the home comforts. Al fresco area to watch the turbo chooks chase the pademelons. Laundry facilities much appreciated after six days hiking. Kitchen well equipped and extras in the pantry (herbs, oil, salt, pepper, rice, baking paper, cling wrap) a bonus. Excellent location. Although on the main road, well set back and quiet.

    Tiles a little bit slippery in the shower. But had a non slip mat provided

    Plenty of room. Clean. Pantry was stocked with spices, flour, olive oil etc. Every thing you need to add the extras to a dish. Washer and dryer included. Very handy when travelling

    It was a pleasure to stay at the Shed. We enjoyed the comfort of the facility, the beautiful view over the forest and field. And, the little beach walking distance from the Shed was beautiful too.

    It would have been beneficial had there been an iron and ironing board available. Aside from this I was pleased with all other aspects.

    I liked the room including the cooking facilities. The location of the accommodation was great. It was both handy to shops and set in a quiet picturesque area. It was also pleasing that laundry facilities were avaliable.

    We loved the Shed! Such a comfy place to call home for a couple of days whilst visiting the Historical Site at Port Arthur which is literally in walking distance. We used the cosy fire and the cooking facilities which were great. Lots of games etc. We saw wallabees in the garden and Turbo Chucks crossed the garden too. Beds and sheets very good. Defo recommend.

    The inside kitchen bin hadn't been emptied and the whole bin needed a good clean.

    Quiet and private. Lots of room. It had a washing machine. As it states it is a shed but done really well and we would stay here again.

    I did find locking the front sliding door when we went out sightseeing was hard to do so the lock may need replacing.

    Such a cute little place, my favourite stay in Tassie so far. The wood fire was cozy and perfect while watching Netflix. Bed was comfy, there was a washer and dryer and a cute little verandah to relax on, great cooking facilities and the location was perfect being so close to everything.
