Perfection

I don't think you will find a Stayz better than this one. A beautiful view from everywhere in the house. Nicola has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as she could. I wish i could just go and stay and relax for a month or two. Thank you Nicola for sharing your wonderful house. Just perfect.

Beautiful Home

I don't often write reviews but this property deserves one. Quarry Hill Lookout is modern, has stunning water views and is spotlessly clean. It was perfect for our girls weekend, the host Nicole has thought of everything from the complimentary breakfast items, plunger coffee and tea, bottle of champagne on arrival, biscuits, chocolate/shower cap placed on our beds, to the hotel quality towels and beach towels. It's all these touches that made our stay so special. The home caters for families with board games, Netflix, books in the library, gates on the stairs and there's a garden with fruit and veggies we could pick and eat from! BBQ facilities are available and there is a RSL with great food and a cafe a couple of minutes walk away. We made use of the woodfire as nights got a bit chilly it was so toasty and warm. This place really felt like a home away from home, cannot recommend it enough we loved it!!

A Very Impressive Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quarry Point Lookout and would have loved to stay longer. It is quite possibly the best organised holiday house we have ever stayed in. Nicola has thought of everything to make one's stay comfortable and uncomplicated. The house is beautiful and the view ever-changing depending on the time of day and the weather. Just a five minute walk to shops, cafes and club.

Amazing House

Incredible house, saw this listing online and loved it. When we arrived it did not disappoint. The views from every room are amazing. Nicolas attention to detail and her thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The hasting caves just down the road are also a must, one of the best we have seen.

The best stay of our trip!

Nicola’s property was exactly as described and the perfect mix of luxurious but cozy and homely at the same time. Everything you could imagine was available in the home and well stocked for all our needs. The big space and amazing fireplace was perfect for our group. We were very sad to leave the comfort of this home. Everything was thought through and for the guest’s delight including the detailed guide book, enough towels for you to enjoy the beach multiple times and a full pantry. Communication with Nicola was easy and always super prompt: Flawless!

Superb

Quarry Hill Lookout is a spectacular house with an equally spectacular view. Everything one could wish for in a holiday house is there exactly as described on Stayz. Nicloa was a great host both with answering queries before booking and offering assistance after checkin (which was not required). The first few days were cool but the house was warm thanks to the wood fire and aircon. The best woodfired pizzas were a 2 minute walk away but sadly only open Thurs to Sat. Overall a very relaxing week.

Amazing stay in Dover

This was a beautifully appointed property with stunning views. Waking up to the sunrise from bed was an amazing start to the day. Nicola has thought of everything with so many inclusions within the property. We were two families staying, and there was plenty of room with everyone able to relax in their own space. Highly recommend this stunning house.

What a great location

We had booked Quarry Hills Lookout as the end of our Tasmania round trip for four nights. What a great ending! The house is lovingly furnished and perfectly equipped. There is nothing that is missing. The various seating areas in and around the house always allow for new beautiful views. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and were very reluctant to leave Quarry Hills Lookout. Absolutely recommended for a few relaxing days!!!!

This was our third time staying at this gorgeous home. I say home not house, because it is a home! Everything is there, even beach towels and chairs etc to fishing gear.

FAMILY FRIENDLY, GREAT LOCATION

It had so many little treasures that made your stay just that little bit more special. A library to suit all tastes and ages (including kids, no need to pack books for night time reading)! A fruit and herb garden you can tender to and harvest when you stay. Games, colouring pencils, xbox, upstairs space perfect for kids while the adults enjoyed a fire downstairs. Amazing pirate ship playground and beautiful beach (with beach toys included at the house) you can walk to. Pizza shop that you MUST try on your stay walking distance, and groceries and bottle-o also waling distance away. Bruny island, Hobart and Hastings Caves all with 1.5 hours. I would recommend to families (easy share for 2 young families) of all ages or a group of adults to share also.

We loved our stay at Quarry Hill Lookout. On entry the house had a beautiful fresh smell, views amazing, and welcoming music playing. House set up for numerous outdoor social areas to enjoy the sun or shade and spacious areas to socialise and relax inside. Pets were catered for as well with a secure backyard and a pet tub filled with necessities including water bowl , towel, doggie disposable bags etc. We had a meal at the RSL which we enjoyed. We plan to book again and will stay for longer next time.

About the host

Hosted by Nicola Francis

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am a primary school teacher with a love for knowledge and sharing. My family own the local organic apple and cherry orchard in Dover, so my daughter and I enjoy visiting the area as much as we can.

Just to let you know, I prefer to give my guests peace and privacy, however if you need any help please contact me on my mobile. If I am not available I can have someone else close by come and help you.

I provide an informative guest book at the property which outlines information about some of my favourite places to dine locally and places to visit. There are also books on local Tasmanian walks, fauna and flora.

Have a great time planning your next holiday or stay and if I can help in any way please just ask!

Why they chose this property

Quarry Hill Lookout is the perfect property as I love the view of the water and the convenience of the selection of dining options all within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

1. Watching the endless RAINBOWS on a cold winters day with the fire on.
2. Picking fresh FRUIT and VEGETABLES from the backyard garden.
3. Who can resist the double shower head in the main ensuite bathroom - YES :)
4. The coffee machine is GREAT!
5. Did I mention the unique architectural design of Quarry Hill Lookout. There are breathtaking views from every room! Make sure you check out the downstairs bathroom window.
6. The library is pretty good too ;)
