If you want the full experience, take a right at the gate and drive up the hill past another gate (it’s open) to the top of the hill. Absolutely stunning views and the best spot! Sunset and sunrise are gorgeous. Thank you, Annette for sharing your beautiful property. I hope to be back soon!

Off the beaten track, yet in a strategic position as a stop during Tasmania adventures! Host was welcoming made our stay very straightforward. Great landscape, made only better by a couple of friendly horses grazing nearby. Our favourite bit was the peaceful morning sunrise. Would stay again for sure!
