Villa Karoola Cottage Self Contained

465 Second River Road, 7267 Lilydale, Australia –

Karen is so nice and considerable, a lot of touches, fabulous homemade breakfast basket, feeding animals, the cottage is clean, cozy with everything needed, very enjoyable staying for us, strongly recommended.

Annie, China

Karen was lovely and helpful and the gardens were beautiful. We particularly loved the family of Tawny Frogmouths in the trees above us.

Jodie, Australia

The animals are cute and friendly, we enjoyed feeding time and the breakfast basket is excellent! Karen and Michael were so helpful, we will definitely highly recommende this host:)

Xinrui, Australia

The breakfast basket was amazing with home baked warm bread

Daniellemountford, Australia

The property was fantastic and the hosts only to happy to share their local knowledge. The animals gave it a great feel and the home made bread for breakfast - still warm from the oven- was a winner with everyone!

Caroline, Australia

The design of the property was excellent, well thought out. Small details that made a lot of difference like lit ligthswitchs so that you don't need to grope for them in the dark. The cottage is much nicer when viewed in-situ than in the pictures. Karen and Michael and grandson Halecki (spelling?) are very friendly and welcoming. And as stated by others, an awesome breakfast basket with a warm loaf is delivered your kitchen door. Seeing cattle grazing from the living room window. The pet sheep , goats and alpacas tha Karen keeps. Karoola Cottage is the best stay we had of the two weeks plus of travel through Tasmania. Would definitely stay here again.

K, Hong Kong

The property was beautiful- really well thought out! Loves the comfy bed too!!! Feeding the animals was definitely a highlight. Also the hosts were super friendly and extremely hospitable. Also the fresh bread in the morning was delightful

Monique, Australia

Freshly baked bread, fresh fruit. This is as quaint as you like, Tasmania in the wilderness, just magical, with birdsong and a skylight with stars wheeling starlight over the pillows at night.

Josef, United Kingdom

Country atmosphere. Welcoming hosts. Awesome breakfast basket. Everything supplied. Great value.

Neil, Australia

the best B&B we've stayed at in Tasmania (one of the best anywhere)and that was even without meeting the host who was apologetic as she was away. The set up was incredibly thoughtful and far exceeded expectations .

A little out of the way if you wanted to do a lot of sightseeing - but there was plenty to do close at hand so there was really no need to venture too far.

Not a dislike but worth mentioning: the light that stayed on on the outside. They ruined the night vision if you wanted to step outside to view the stars, the Milky Way and the Constellations. Micheal said that he will think of re-wiring the light.

A minor quibble, the outside lights are autoamtically triggered at night detracting from truly dark skies [only applicabe to amateur astronomers like myself]
Freshly baked bread, fresh fruit. This is as quaint as you like, Tasmania in the wilderness, just magical, with birdsong and a skylight with stars wheeling starlight over the pillows at night.

The driveway near the house is the only improvement. It could easily be converted to a circular driveway.

I'm struggling to find any negative.. the only possible one would be that you can't switch the outside light off ..
