Beautiful part of Tassie, great space and hosts
We travelled as a group of 4 friends to participate in an event in the Boat Harbour area. The guesthouse was spacious and located in a beautiful part of Tassie. It is about 25 minutes drives from pubs and cafes in Wynyard and only a few minutes drive from the beautiful Boat Harbour and Sisters Beach areas. It is a little close to the Bass Highway (which did mean it was a little noisy at times, but our hosts had left earplugs!) but otherwise a great location, and the geese in the fields and on the pond behind the house were gorgeous! The house itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Liam and Alex were very responsive and generous hosts - great communication before we arrived and a lovely gift of a bottle of wine and some eggs for breakfast. The only downside was the dog barking next door during the night, and the dim lighting in kitchen/dining area (which wasn't a big thing in the scheme of things). Overall, highly recommended!

Comfortable however could have been cleaner. Location impacted by noisy road and owners living in adjoining rooms. Needs sound proofing particularly between adjoining sections.

Liam and Alex are the best hosts that we have experienced in our travels. They communicated extremely well before, during and after our stay. They went above and beyond what they needed to, for which we are very grateful. The property itself could not be more perfect for our large group of 6. It is amazing how reflective one can be with a nice early morning coffee and a back deck! The night sky will leave you in awe. Our family cannot recommend Rocky Cape more highly. Situated in a beautiful part of Tassie,made us want to come back for a longer experience. Thank you Liam and Alex for setting the bar so high. Cheers

Mmmmm...
The property was not advertised as owners living on site. Whilst out attending our event the owner messaged to say they had been in our rooms to turn on heating and elec.blankets. Not happy. The overall cleanliness, inside and outside of the property was very poor and I would say not Covid clean. Pillows were huge, hard and unusable for us.
