Absolutely nothing!

Everything! So comfortable and relaxing, couldn't have picked a better place tocelebrate our wedding anniversary'

Stayed in September 2024

Nothing comes to mind

The location was picturesque, the accomodations themselves were modern and well kept. There was milk, bread, bacon, eggs and tomatoes as well as a selection of cereals and coffee/tea facilities. there were fresh picked flowers all around and the wildlife was all around.

A lovely warm greeting from Helen and Sam on our arrival. The food provisions were not only excellent by plentiful. Everything at Wanderers Cottage was perfect including the hosts and communication. The decor, the facilities and the comfort only added to the experience. The olive grove is mesmerizing ans so tranquil. We had some rain which we expected travelling in July but that did not hinder our stay in any way in fact it increased the beauty watching the wallabies freely hopping through the grove, the chooks roaming as they will and at the end of the day we saw Sam the "wonder dog" bringing them home to roost. The dam is filled with a variety of ducks. The gardens filled with flowers and herbs. The pine tree near the cottage is 160 years old and healthy and huge. Amazing. The history of Hillbrae and Wanderers Cottage is so amazing, so impressed I did some research and the transformation as to how it is today is a testament to the owners Ross and Helen

This is such a beautiful cottage on such a beautiful property, and in such a beautiful area. The accommodation was incredibly comfortable and clean, and the decor so beautiful, useful and interesting (beautiful books, recipe books, blankets, breakfast items and extras, games...). The bathroom was stunning and clean and also came with extras (body wash and such) and the towels and bedding beautifully clean and comfortable. Sam the dog kept us in beautiful company (this was definitely encouraged by us!!) on the small balcony and took us on walks to his favourite spots on the property. He was always there for a scratch and pat upon arrival or leaving the property and was just a beautiful boy. We have only praise and thanks for hosts, Ross and Helen, and hope and plan to return to this beautiful space as soon as we can.

The owner and his wife made us extremely welcome and had even baked a fresh loaf of bread and put some breakfast food in the fridge. Ross even invited me to watch football in his private residence. In the 21 days we toured Tassy this was by far the best accomodation we had. Thank you Ross and helen. We'll be back. Ian & Jenny Landells

Could not fault a thing

This cozy little cottage was quaint, tranquil and very clean. We were extremely happy with all the facilities included in our stay. This was the perfect stay to end our honeymoon.

Nothing could be added.

The cottage is beautifully presented and set in an olive grove complete with duck pond and visiting wallabies. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious! There were so many little touches to discover, including wine, chocolates and books to enjoy. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom spacious, with everything we could wish for. A truly delightful stay.

Welcoming and so comfortable. So many special touches - flowers, chocolates, delicious breakfast offerings. Wonderful setting amongst the olive trees with birds and kangaroos abounding.

Everything was great, there were lots of little extras and treats, we couldn’t have wished for more

We loved staying in this peaceful, beautifully renovated cottage which is separate from the main house. It’s in an olive grove which made our stay even more delightful …self catering & wonderful breakfast provisions …we wanted for nothing. Ross our host kindly made us a cuppa when the wild weather knocked out all power overnight so it was hard to get warm. Much appreciated. Sam the family dog was overjoyed to meet us, Lovely dog. He checked on us often!

Stayed in October 2023

Great location. Comfortable & clean cottage with attention to detail. Wonderful hosts

Stayed in August 2023

Liked everything but if looking to nitpick, there is no stove or oven in the kitchen, which is addressed by good electric appliances in the kitchen plus a grill and hot plate in the mud room (perhaps a bit chilly for a winter’s evening). Anyone planning on cooking up a feast may miss an indoor stove/oven.

Beautiful location amongst the olive groves, lovely and spacious cottage. Stylish rustic decor with smart contemporary bathroom. Generous array of breakfast provisions provided as well as treats such as fresh fruit bowl, a little decanter of something lovely as a nightcap as well as bedside chocolates. Comprehensive array of toiletries provided. Stunning views over the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island. Friendly and proactively informative hosts. All round excellent stay.

We loved the place and serenity in the forest. Having a fireplace in winter was fantastic. Well equipped with everything needed, great little farm shop. Our first choice when we come back to this magical area.
