Rodrigo

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Host was rude and arrogant. We were at the property about 5 min outside after arriving at cottage everything open and dog inside. We sat outside till she case over and rude to our dog and us. No key. We left after we talked and went to rent another place for 2 nights and she will not give a full refund because she cares about money instead of people. House is not up to standards at all and smells of smoke, timber flooring unsafe, washing machine outside only cold of turn tap running, drinking water is questionable unsafe.

Refreshing haven
We loved our stay in this little cottage. A favourite area was the lawn with shady trees which were perfect for reading a book under on a hot day. Pudge, the friendly dog, was a very welcome visitor, and another highlight for us. (The owner checked if we liked dogs or not, to know whether we wanted such visits, which was very thoughtful). We will definitely be back.

A great escape from the city
The farm cottage was just what you would expect - particularly when its 150+ years old! It has a charm absent from modern living, but also has all you could need. We enjoyed our stay, loved the location, and Fay & David were superb hosts. Next time we are in Tasman, we'll try to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by FayM9795

Host profile image
We are semi retired farming folk. Our children have left home but keep coming back.
We are active both on our downsized farm and well as socially away from the farm. Still very busy and enjoying what we do.

Why they chose this property

A touch of history - The main house (Villa), was built in 1918 replacing the original built in 1870s as a new home for a recently married early settler couple. The 'Villa Cottage' was built not long after the first house, for the new brides mother.
The dwellings have 'character'.
The surrounding house grounds have been well laid out and modified by different owners throughout the years, providing a wonderful restful feel, with good producing fruit trees and gardens, who could ask for more. - We are fortunate to be able to live in such a beautiful spot.

What makes this property unique

Welcoming, comfortable, no frills and beautiful.
