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.

In overall this is the best luxury Airbnb I ever stay. It is the little details that counts; the owner knows how to bring out the best of the house.... read more The wine choice, the fire camp, marshmallow, kitchen tools, e-guide book, music choice, the growing switch light makes it easy to find in the dark, and etc. Everything is well DESIGNED. Lastly the price is fair, does not try to rip you off like any other luxury Airbnb.
In summery 100/100.

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!

A truly wonderful unique experience! I surprised my family with this Airbnb and they were blown away.
There were wallabies, horses and kookaburras all hanging out when we first... read more pulled up. Aside from the stunning design of the space - Rachel and Jet thought of every little detail imaginable to make our stay even more special.
A delicious cheeseboard, wine, breakfast ingredients, and even stuff for Tassie style s'mores!
If you get the chance to book this place, I'd 100% recommend it! This place is what makes Airbnb's special 😊
