Nothing to fault. Unit was great, outlook was superb. Only one little thing. My wife was spook3d by a couple little spiders, in weds, up high in the ceiling. But apart from that. I would highly recommend.

The location was perfect. Close to everything. The unit had everything you could need. Great kitchen amenities to cook a meal. We stocked up at Woolies in Hobart before arriving to Coles Bay. The view from the unit was just amazing and so close. Was great to wake up every day and see the bay.

Nothing to see here

This accommodation is amazing and has everything you need to cook your own food while your there. There are many little homely touches that take this accommodation to the next level and make it feel like a home away from home. There is a built in DVD player in the TV so you can bring a favorite DVD to watch during the evening. Unfortunately for us on the evening we stayed there was clouds on the horizon so we didn’t get to see the sunset. The water was calm and there was no whales at this time. It was to cold in the evening so we spent less time outside or even with the balcony doors open because it was so cold. This place would be perfect and ideal during the warmer weather months. My only criticism of the property was that the feature doors and windows had obviously not been cleaned for quite some time and detracted from the view / ambience. I left a note to this effect. So future guests take note if anything was done. Overall it was an amazing place and location and I would highly recommend it to anyone and would definitely consider staying there again. PS, I couldn’t find my email with the code for the key lockbox. I was able to easily contact them and they were able to supply me the code.

The unit was sparsely furnished, one small couch, washing machine but no dryer, TV service went out mid way through our stay, furnishings that were present were minimalist in quality and comfort.
