    Nothing to dislike.

    This property was the perfect place to stay in Coles Bay. Everything was as expected and the great views made it very special. Having the wood fire made it extremely cosy.

    Electric blanket didn't seem to be working. Can the trees be trimmed a bit to enhance the view. Otherwise everything perfect.

    Great location, loved the more casual beach vibe. Everything needed was available and excellent value for money. We wished we could stay for another night.

    Bedrooms down stairs were musty when we arrived. Fortunately we did not have to use it. Upstairs bedroom s were quite small.

    Fantastic location with great outlook over the bay to the National Park

    It could have been cleaner, the bbq didn’t have any gas and hadn’t been cleaned by the previous people so we couldn’t use it. We had purchased our food on the way down so ended up having to cook it all in the oven.

    Views!! This place has the most amazing views, so lovely to wake up to sunrise here. The apartment itself was so spacious and had everything that we needed for a few nights. Location wise, it couldn’t have been better.

    The description of this property was totally incorrect the house is in very poor condition the furnishings are very dirty the lounges have stains and sweat stained and need a good clean , bathroom has a piece of cardboard in the louvred window the shower shelf has fallen off and missing The verandah is in poor condition and unsafe the bbq was filthy the outdoor setting was pathetic The laundry was filthy and outside toilet. We actually left after our first night the bugs,ants and cockroaches were too much we went to Richmond and rented a beautiful clean property for under $200 for the night. The agents really need to inspect this property for the money it was ridiculous .

    Listed as 2 x queen beds, which is incorrect. There is 1 x queen bed and a double. Quite misleading. Also should have provided an extension cord in the double bed rooms so we could use the heater.

    Not a great welcome after having driven from the other side of Tasmania, as the bedroom downstairs hadn't been cleaned or the beds made with clean linen. The power had been turned off to the fridge, TV, and kitchen appliances - had to switch back on at the power box (not sure if everyone would think to check that - certainly wouldn't expect to do this). The bedrooms are a bit claustrophobic and the shower had no blinds on the window and surprisingly a door to directly outside. No soap holder in the shower, and infested with mosquitoes. Also a blackspot for mobile phones - took 12hrs at one point for a txt message to get out and had no Internet data coverage. As there is no WiFi provided by the accommodation, this was an issue. TV cable had to be forced in quite hard to stay in place. Disappointed as this place has a lot of potential and looked so much better in the photos. As mentioned above, the management were quick to respond to our concerns and as we were only staying two nights decided not to have our stay interrupted with cleaners until after we left. But the owners need to do a bit more work on the place. Considering how much I payed for the accommodation, would have preferred to have stayed somewhere else or a night in Richmond & the lakes than a wasted two nights here. Sorry for the poor review, but I'm being completely honest.

    Great view and great location. Nice kitchen & living area. Management staff are very quick to respond and accommodating.

    The place obviously had water damage. Because of that there was a very bad smell throughout. Lucky the weather was good that we could air it out! Excellent location. Hope they fix the water damaged carpet downstairs. Could have been excellent.

    A great location spoilt by the dank and musty odour

    The place had a musky, dank odour right throughout it as if it hadn’t been properly aired for months. Most of the windows were jammed shut, so it was impossible to air properly. Two calls for assistance from Freycinet Beachfront Resort went unanswered and the messages we left were never responded to. My wife had to cover the bed with her own clothes to avoid the dank smell which had permeated everything. We seriously considered moving out, but eventually just put up with it. By the third day of airing, the smell had reduced significantly.

    the location was superb
