    Loved the location, the view, the cleanliness of the property and the beds were to die for! Have stayed here on a previous occasion and was hoping this stay would be as good as the last - it didn’t disappoint!

    There was milk in the fridge and other things like salt and pepper, cooking oil, plastic food storage containers, lots of utensils etc that make catering whilst away a breeze. Checking in was super easy. The host gave a great list of things to do...

Company info

Hi, I am Alison and with my husband, Peter, are really passionate about Tasmania. We love this island and providing a home away from home for our guests. We love travelling too and generally head off each year. This year we were in Turkey for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding and then on to Croatia and the Greek Islands. We live in Acton Park on Hobart's eastern shore on a 5 acre property with our horses and 2 golden retrievers, Stella and Reuben. I compete in dressage and we both play golf and love biking down to the beach at Lauderdale around the trails with the dogs. Life is pretty good! We have our award winning townhouse, "Reflections on the Bay" and have just opened our gorgeous 2 bedroom apartment, "The Lookout". Both properties are in beautiful Sandy Bay and very convenient to everything in Hobart.
