Me alojé en la casa de Rachel y Jet con mi madre y hermanos. La casa es fantástica, es una zona súper tranquila en medio de la naturaleza. Está decorada... read more con muchísimo gusto y perfectamente equipada. El tener 2 dormitorios y 2 baños la hace muy cómoda para 4 personas. Jet nos compartió mucha información acerca de los wallabies y pudimos alimentarlos. Los anfitriones nos ayudaron con recomendaciones y contestaron a todas nuestras preguntas.
Nos quedamos con pena de no poder pasar unos días más en la casa, ya que debíamos continuar nuestra ruta.

We had a delightful two night stay at Design House. Rachel and Jet had thought of everything. We had lots of lovely provisions for breakfast; cheese and wine; plus some... read more Easter treats as well! We prised ourselves away to potter about the Peninsular for a while and then hurried back to enjoy some peaceful relaxation. A lovely weekend away.

We had a wonderful time in this beautifully designed and furnished home that has sustainability at the forefront, in it's design and inclusions. The location was very private and... read more perched on a hill has beautiful views. The native animals were abundant and the resident horses gorgeous. Rachel and Jet were very generous in supplying gourmet provisions for our consumption.
There was a curated selection of Tasmanian novels in the house... I managed to finish Richard Flanagan's "The Sound of One Hand Clapping"...totally enriching my stay even more.
We love the Tasman Peninsula and the variety of activities that we were able to do including an encounter with a humpback whale on Pennicott Wilderness Journeys.
This stay was a special treat to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, well, needless to say... we did it in style.

Our family had the most wonderful stay at the Tasmanian Design House, also affectionately referred to as the ‘farm house’ by our two kids (7 and 10 years old). The... read more house is even prettier than in the photos, and Rachel and Jet were the most wonderful hosts. From the thoughtful food that was provided, to helping the kids feed the wallabies and horses each day, our family had such an enjoyable stay. The house was also such a comfortable temperature and the kitchen was so easy and lovely to cook in. We hope we can return one day!
