Magical experience in a peaceful country setting surrounded with wildlife. Fantastic stary night skies, beautifully designed modern home incredibly well stocked for us. Comfie beds with cozy... read more linens and down pillows. A kitchen like you’d see in a magazine with all the lovely cookery, glassware, and accessories. Ample supply of luxurious bath products, JUST WOW!!!
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.

Lovely house set in a peaceful bushland setting, but close to a local beach, to Port Arthur and Pirates Cove. Great base for exploring locally from. Extremely comfortable and luxurious... read more beds. Premium personal care products and a really thoughtful and generous set of amenities with the house. Kitchen well equipped. Wonderful spot to view the stars around the firepit. Highly recommended.

We knew when we’d found the listing for The Design House that we’d come across something pretty special- just didn’t realise how good till we got here. The photos and... read more description don’t really do this place justice - incredible location both for sightseeing and standalone, contemporary architecture which envelops beautiful spaces equipped in the most tasteful and thoughtful manner ensuring comfort and relaxation. Our hosts leant us an infra red torch to spot night time wildlife and despite our best efforts, we were constantly sidetracked by the Milky Way which hung with such clarity above us.
Thankyou Jet and Rachel for the consideration you showed us during our stay, and for building such a distinctive treasure in the huge enviable ‘back yard’ you are lucky enough to call home.
