The Lodge was a fantastic place to stay for our group of two families. Lots of room, well equipped kitchen, and even sea kayaks. We used this as a base for a day trip to Maria Island, being less than 10minutes to drive to the ferry terminal. Craig was very responsive to all communications, and I would love to come back and stay for a longer time to explore more of this beautiful area of Tasmania.

7 of us friends enjoyed our 2 night stay at “The Lodge”. We were expecting Bob (Hawke) to meet us !!! We enjoyed our stay, plenty of room, beds comfortable and great showers 👍 We went over to Maria Island as my father was born and lived on the Island in 1924 for 12 years. Had a lovely time.
Good place to stay.

Was a great property to share with our adult family with the bonus of being able to take our dog who can’t be minded by anyone else.

House is super clean and spacious with all amenities available. Wonderful flat front yard to enjoy a BBQ. Also, very close to beach access and a walking path to take in the sea views. We had a great time there at the Easter holidays. While the weather wasn't totally on our side on some days, we had plenty of games to play in the large living space.

The house was incredibly clean, spacious for our two families, and gave us a number of entertainment options for all ages.
Close to the beach and walks, a very quiet neighbourhood, and while it is a corner block, it also felt very private.
Craig and Narelle have done an excellent job with this house, and we can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic house, location and facilities. Good place for 2-3 family groups. Enjoyed that the cupboards had lots of equipment including sharp knives (so many places don't have adequate knives!) and a toasted sandwich maker. Beds were also brilliant, so comfortable. Great lawn for kids games.

Orford mini break
The house is lovely, modern, clean and really well set up for a large group. (You can actually seat 10 people -or more!-around the dining table!)
We happened to be staying when the bridge over the Orford Rivulet washed away. Craig was fabulous communicating information and news, quickly, and offering to let us stay an extra night.
