We had a positive stay with our dog, even though it rain constantly!

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Coles Bay, Clean Cosy accomodation, large enougth for a whole family or just a couple , pet friendly and safe for our little fur baby, close enough to the jetty, cafe and local shop. Did some lovely walks as we were blessed with good weather. House was well equipt with what we needed, loved the open fire the most. Thankyou for a lovely stay Kind Regards Gregg, Sue and Opie xxx

Great open space with excellent views

A very enjoyable weekend.

Very comfortable, great views and proximity to shops and beaches. Lots of space for teenagers and dogs.

We had a great time in Coles Bay, a place which I have been visiting ever since I can remember. However, his is not a review of our holiday. This house is way overpriced, poorly maintained, and poorly appointed. In addition, the property managers are not hospitality people, so you won't be made to feel welcome, with terse "don't" notes around the house. We were lulled to sleep in our double (not queen) bed every night by the sound of running water in the broken toilet. I guess we were saved the frustration of a broken reading light by not having any reading light at all, unlike the main bedroom (also double, not queen bed) which has been broken for months at least (going by information from the reviews). The carpet was matted with human hair (long & grey, not ours), and there was even some rice, fleas, and other bits & pieces in it too. All the dishes had a layer of dirt on them and yet we were expected to leave them clean (or be charged extra). Our shower had some long, black hair in it (again, not ours!) So much for Covid cleaning. Only one (of four) of the outside lights was working, and two of the inside lights also weren't working – that’s just lazy management not checking and replacing the globes. If you would like to cook (and we do), the oven is useless since it doesn't close, and the large element on the 1960s stove didn't work, leaving us with one hotplate and a grill element. This has not been the full list of things broken or not working (or "accidentally missed", as the agents call it), just a sample of things you might find important as a prospective guest. We don’t mind staying a basic house, and Coles Bay does tend to attract a premium price, but this one is barely functional. We have stayed in holiday houses all over Tasmania over the past few years, from Dover to Stanley – this was by far the most expensive, and none have been in such poor condition. Even sometimes it's the little things that count, like getting just 3 teabags for a 6 night stay (yeah, not a big deal, but not welcoming and not expensive). On a positive note, the house has a lovely view (don't move the furniture to enjoy it, or you'll be charged extra) and feels quiet and private despite the shared driveway and close neighbours in front. But, so do other houses – so we recommend those ones.

Large, clean and comfortable house with breathtaking views. Headland and small pristine private beach at bottom of driveway. Shaft drive from beautiful national park.

Stunning views. Very comfortable, clean, quiet accommodation.

The property is very private and close to the water. It is fairly dated but functional. It could be easily improved by adding somewhere to hang the tea towel, fixing the reading lights on the main bed. Installing a small shower tidy so you can take your own products into the shower. I was told the bed was a Queen but there is only double beds. The tap water is from a tank we are told. The tank is in such poor condition that I am surprised it holds any water at all. You are advised to boil any drinking water. The water pressure is poor at best and frustrating if any other tap is on. All in all this property needs a lot of love to live up to its description. Disappointed

Spacious if a little basic house, perfect for a relaxed family weekend. Location is ideal, beds are comfy. The kitchen facilities are quite rudimentary and the shower isn't amazing, but we would stay here again.

It has all you need for a perfect holiday,

Good room layout for groups or families. Plenty of space. Accurate photos online.

we had a wonderful stay in Coles Bay. This house is in a great location and has a wonderful view of the Freycinet National Park and the bay itself. Sunsets on the front balcony were the best.
