Great accommodation
Cabin was very clean and very quite in a peaceful setting. Could not fault anything and loved it being separate with no neighbours and the little extras provided especially extensive range of foods.

We wanted to visit Bruny island and also visit nearby places of interest so Flowerpot was a good base. Cabin had everything to cook your own food and there was also a barbecue outside. We enjoyed our stay there

Best find
We loved this cabin. I often need to clean a place before I can relax and stay. This cabin was so clean, for many this isn't an issue. But I was immediately comfortable and could just use everything without my OCD taking over. Honestly, places like this are hard to find. The hosts were amazing, the cabin was beautiful. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
