Rachel and Jet's house left a lasting impression on me. This architecturally designed home, located in a quiet area, boasts stunning scenery and a beautiful sunset. The hosts were very... read more welcoming and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. One of the things that really stood out to me about this Airbnb was the attention to detail. Every aspect of the home has been carefully crafted to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. In terms of amenities, you have everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped all you need to prepare your own meals, even with breakfast ingredients ready in the fridge, such as eggs and bread. A nice fruit and cheese platter was waiting for us upon entry. The lounge has very comfortable seating and it's the perfect place to enjoy a sunset over the water. The serene surroundings, complete with cute wallabies that would come to the garden, really made me feel like I was in a different world. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Wow! Rachel & Jet were fantastic hosts and their beautifully styled house allowed us to spend quality time as a family in the home without the need to venture... read more out, although there were certainly options here. We did taste some local wines at a cellar door close by.
Furnishings were modern and the linen bedding and down pillows made for a very comfortable sleep. Bathroom products were high end. The setting was peaceful and so relaxing. Our girls got to spend some time with their horses which was an unexpected bonus and a great treat. The location is great if you want peace and tranquility. There’s even a chance to sit around the outdoor fire pit and refine your “toasting marshmallow” skills and have a great conversation or be hypnotised by the flames of the fire. We would definitely stay again.

This was our second visit to the design house and it didn’t disappoint. Just a few of the many things we love about the house: location is incredible, peaceful and... read more yet close to amazing walks and attractions. The kitchen is a foodie’s dream and has EVERYTHING you could think of to cook plus lots of treats (the wooden worktops are gorgeous). Aesop toiletries. Fluffy robes. Quality bed linens and towels. Sonos speakers throughout. The local family of friendly wallabies and horses. And our absolute favourite - the fire pit, complete with the ingredients for s’mores - the most incredible way to spend an evening gazing at the brightest stars you will see. And to top it off, Rachel and Jet are truly superb hosts and went above and beyond to accomodate a last-minute request. Thank you… we can’t wait for our return visit!

After a few nights stay at the Tasmanian Design House we feel completely rejuvenated. It is such a beautifully appointed, well designed place with all the amenities you’d expect of... read more a high end hotel plus more thoughtful considerations such as a “smores” marshmallow biscuit making kit to take even the most jaded adult back to childhood. Loved exploring the bay nearby and communing with the myriad of sea creatures and settling in with a bottle of red in the evenings and pouring over all the good books. Some great walks nearby. We did the Cape Raoul walk (about 17k return) and appreciated a well stocked kitchen to cook up a pasta when we got back. Port Arthur is also close and worth a visit. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Thank you Rachel and Jet for a blissful stay!

The house was absolutely stunning, and the outdoor fire pit with the s'mores kit was such a delightful touch. It was so cozy to gather around the fire, roasting marshmallows... read more and making s'mores. It was so peaceful and picturesque.
Rachael and Jet really know how to create a magical experience for their guests.
Rachael and Jet are the best Airbnb hosts ever! They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. From the moment you arrive, they make you feel like family. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they're always there to provide recommendations and assistance. The accommodation is fantastic, clean, and cozy. Rachael and jet were incredibly understanding when we accidentally only booked 2 out of the 3 nights we wanted. They were so kind and let us stay an extra night without any hassle. It just shows how amazing they are as hosts, always going the extra mile to make their guests happy. They truly deserve all the praise.
