History, exceptional interior design, feel of old times

Olga Australia

Tanilla House was beautiful and lovely. Really enjoyed Sunset Park after suggested by the owner.

Claire Australia

I love the location, where only the locals live (except for us in this period house/guest room) and you are only a leisurely 30 minutes drive from Anna Bay and Soldiers Point. The room where we stayed is very cosy, the windows open to a cool breeze from the bay and you can see sunrise/sunset silhouette through onto your bed. Perfect for a family of four that only wants a short stay.

Hieu Australia

The hosts are so friendly and gave us a tour of the historical house. The accommodation is gorgeous, like walking in to the past. It was so pretty and so relaxing and in such a beautiful and quiet spot. When we arrived the hosts were away and they had arranged for the housekeeper to meet us in person.

Justin Australia

The beautiful historical property, excellent for history lovers. Wonderful hospitality of the owners, even when they are away. Please, be mindful of the outside bathrooms - especially if night visits a must (small children or seniors).

Renata Australia

The owners were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Beautiful, authentic home. A little rustic but everything we needed. Thank you!

Gareth Australia

Location was awesome and the facilities were lovely

Sally Australia

We liked the haritage building Tanilba House very much!

Akm Australia

the people who owned it were great. The house was beautiful, the accomadation exceptional

Tony Australia

It is so lucky this magnificent home ended up in the hands of passionate lovers of beautiful historic homes, it will be cared for and loved as it should be! We loved learning about the history, seeing the beautiful rooms and gardens! We felt privileged to have access to such a beautiful part of our history, thank you for sharing it!
