Very clean and comfortable with great views of the ocean. We loved sitting on the balcony taking in the view. The home was peaceful and quiet and in a great location. The location gave us easy access to many points of interest such as the ferry to Maria Island.

we chose this property for its location in Orford, close to the Maria Island ferries in Triabunna. We spent 5 nights here and cannot reccomend the house highly enough. We are seniors so the peaceful surroundings suited us very well. The house contains everything you need, has wonderful sea views and you can hear the gentle sound of surf too. The best choice in Orford or Triabunna.

The house was pretty comfortable with most facilities we needed. Kids enjoyed the fireplace as we stayed here in colder month. The pricing was pretty competitive. The town of Orford is less busy which is suitable for anyone wanting a laid back holiday. Easy to get to Hobart, Launceston and Port Arthur. The beaches are a walking distance. I will highly recommend it to anyone exploring the east coast of Tasmania.

A great house with all you need both indoors and outside. We made good use of the full sized kitchen and the view from the main living area and bedroom was beautiful.

We spent two nights here and had everything we needed. Spectacular views, very comfortable beds and clean as a whistle 👌 Very well equipped kitchen, and two decks to enjoy the sun or be more sheltered. Loved the fire pit. Lucky it was very conveniently located a short walk from the IGA so we could get marshmallows. Thanks for having us 😃

Fantastic views from the living area and main bedroom. Facilities decent although lacking wifi. Cleanliness lacking a little but overall a very nice place to stay. Property manager also had excellent communication and quickly addressed minor issues (Brocken key).

Island Views
Glistening waters & a backdrop of Maria Island give this property a view that truly shows off the beauty that is the East Coast of Tasmania. Nearby white beaches complete the tranquil setting.

Arriving at the property we were amazed of the stunning views from so living areas overlooking the water and maria Island!
The house was clean, modern and well set up for our group of two families with children and would also suit a couple or a group of friends. We would highly recommend 😁

Black shack at Orford.
The property was very clean, modern and tidy with fabulous water views and sunrises. It had almost everything we needed for a great stay. A radio would have been a nice touch as would a replacement DVD remote. We had brought some DVD box sets with us but we were unable to move on to the next episodes on the disc without a remote control. Also it would have been useful to know that the hot water ran from bottled gas. Whilst we are familiar with using this, prior knowledge would have been great, as would larger gas bottles. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would possibly book here again if above suggestions were implemented.

Pretty coastal getaway
A lovely modern house with stunning views and multiple comfortable spaces to enjoy the sun or cosy wood heater.
Orford was wet when we visited but between showers we enjoyed the cliff top walks and views over Maria Island.
Allison was a lovely host and warned us that there was no TV reception but it didn’t sink in, so remember to take your cable to connect to screen. We’d love to come back with a crowd and use this beautiful house with easy access from Hobart.
