    We didn't stay an additional night!

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Oyster Cove Chalet and wished we could have stayed an extra night. The accommodation was very comfortable and immaculate with many personal touches and a great continental breakfast supplied. Very close to Kettering and surrounds and easy access to Bruny Island Ferry. We enjoyed the local wildlife who came to visit and thoroughly enjoyed the bush setting where the chalets are located. Both Guy and Annie (and ‘family’) were warm and friendly hosts and a pleasure to speak with.

    The location was ideal. I was very close to the ferry to Bruny Island. The local wildlife were an added bonus The room and outdoor area was great with all amenities required.

    Nothing - apart from the fact I forgot to clean the barbeque - I felt so guilty!

    There was everything you could possibly want for a self catering break. Feeding the pademelons in the garden was a delight for us poms. Great nights sleep - total tranquility!

    There was little we didn't like

    Travelling Tassie with my mother who unfortunately got sick on the journey and we spent 5 nights here. Couldn't have asked for a better place or better hosts. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. It's a boutique place with 4 rooms, all feeling quite separate from one another and each with a generous deck that includes a BBQ and table and chairs. The guest laundry was free to use (we had brought detergent with us). Our room faced the hill behind the property and we had frequent pademelon, Tasmanian native hen and superb fairy wren visitors. An absolute delight and instead of my mom's convalescence being awful, it was pleasant and peaceful. She could sit out and watch the wildlife. We had the room in a two-singles configuration and that worked really well for us. They had a nice little guest library and jewellery for sale by Annie, one of the hosts. Got a lovely pair of earrings to commemorate our visit. The Oyster Cove store is just down the road and has a surprisingly good range of goods including fresh fruit/veg, meats, cheeses and everything you might need. Further afield, the Snug IGA is 6km towards Hobart and quite well stocked for such a small place. Hobart is only a 30 minute drive, so it's actually a convenient place to base yourself for trips there as well.

    The Oyster Cove Chalet is located in a quiet and peaceful bushland setting. Viewing pademelons close by was a bonus. The location is minutes away from Kettering where we joined our tour for Bruny Island. At check-in Guy was very helpful, particularly with suggestions for dinner that night. The unit is generally well-presented and very clean and the bed was comfortable. There are all the facilities for a self-contained stay.
