Intimate, earthy cottage in Tranquil Setting
A gorgeous, private, cottage, filled with plants and natural light, located in the foothills of the village of Woodbridge on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. The cottage is oriented away from the main house.
Unique in its design and construction featuring a beautiful cordwood feature wall (you'll understand why we call it the Giraffe House) and beautifully hand-crafted alternate tread stairs.
There is a cosy queensize bed on the mezzanine with fantastic southerly sky views. You may be lucky enough to capture the Southern lights Aurora Australis.
Relax in the lounge and be warmed by the radiant heat from the woodstove. The well-equipped kitchen, providing essential pantry items, has a gas cooktop, microwave/oven, and fridge.
The kitchen dining area looks west to the Woodbridge Hill, a comfy couch allows for basking in the afternoon winter son whilst watching the abundant bird and wildlife.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower and composting toilet. There is a small office area.
The Giraffe House provides a perfect intimate base to spend a peaceful weekend or week away exploring Southern Tasmania's Coal River Valley, the Tasman Peninsula, Huon Valley, Channel and Bruny Island or simply relaxing on the veranda watching the birds whilst the sun sets over the mountain.
There are many great local attractions, vineyards, restaurants, & outdoor activities within easy access. The Giraffe House was built in 1985 and has had several makeovers most recently during the Winter of 2018.
It is only a short walk to the foreshore where you will find all manner of marine life and sea birds. Grab one of our kayaks (fee applies) and paddle around to wreck in Little Peppermint Bay. Come for a sail on on Channel (www.sailingtasmania.com.au)
Licence number Exempt: This listing falls under the 'home sharing' exemptiontheaeay from the main house. It is very private
A perfect place for either a quiet retreat or a homely base to return to after a day exploring.Michael and Chrissie are mindful carers of the land and animals..and welcoming to their visitors.
The listing was not accurate. Wifi wasn't available as stated in the listing. Host was argumentative about it being "promoted as a place without wifi." VRBO refunded me because they confirmed it was advertised with WiFi. I was given a wifi code (presumably to their house wifi), but the wifi did not connect or work. This listing is a tiny house build next to a regular home. Privacy is minimal. Additionally, the silverware tray was full of dirty water at check-in. I did not trust the rest of the home was very clean .. intended to stay 4 nights left after 1. Host made me very uncomfortable. I cannot recommend this stay.
The accommodation is opposite the main house but is private and overlooks the dam. We enjoyed watching the chickens and paddymelons. There didn't seem to be anywhere to walk or explore the property, but we weren't there long enough to ask. The accommodation itself is lovely - very comfortable bed and kitchen with everything you need. It was a very nice place to stay overnight before heading to Bruny.
Biodynamic farm cottage. No TV, a very quiet and quaint cottage, perfect for an extended stay. Self contained and relaxing, close to Hobart and the southern towns.
A chandelier of stars above a peaceful getaway cabin. Identical to the photos presented, located on a beautiful piece of land tucked away from the city. Chrissie and Micheal were a delight to communicate with who went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome.
We had a really wonderful time during our stay and playing with the chickens. Christine and Michael are very warm and accommodating. The sky at night is so beautiful and the window slit by the bed made it even better to snuggle up and stargaze. The house is really clean, cozy and homey. Will try our best to come back again just for the vibe. 12/10.
