Wow! What a place. We've stayed in many, many Airbnbs around the world and this one stands out as one of the best. It's a perfect combination of an exceptionally... read more well designed space, the most generous provision of drinks and snacks we've ever experienced, and hosts who are fully invested in their role. Jet introduced himself, and two of the local wallabies, on day 1. He was readily available for tips about the area. And we took his Escape from Port Arthur tour...a highlight. I highly recommend everything about this special place.

BUT… the best part was Jet and Rachel.. what Amazing people.. we were thrilled when they agreed to join us for a glass of wine around the fire pit one night. We were literally surrounded by by their family of wallabies and were able to hand fed them. Really enjoyed meeting the horses and giving them a bit of an afternoon snack.
Ask Jet about his tours of Port Arthur. We attended his talk on Isle of the Dead. Wonderful historical stories of the people who lived and died there.
This was for us a highlight of our 4 month trip. We’re so very happy to have been able to stay 4 nights, wished it could have been longer.
