The property and location are excellent. Linda has thought of every need you may have in a house. We particularly enjoyed the novelty of collecting fresh eggs in the morning.

We stayed one night in Deloraine to break up the drive from Hobart to Cradle mountain, and just wish we’d stayed longer. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and so thoughtfully furnished/finished. The outdoor bath was such a lovely feature (there’s also one indoors!) and we all loved the chickens, ducks, wallabies and even rabbits. To top it all off we saw a platypus in the dam!
Deloraine itself is a really cute little town with lovely coffee shops, a great deli and second hand stores. It makes for a great destination in its own right, but also a convenient drive to other attractions.
Linda’s cottage is perfect! We’ve stayed in a lot of different and lovely vacation homes but this one is the best of all.

The house and hosts were amazing. Beautiful, peaceful setting. Loved the book containing the history of the house, the outdoor bath, port and chocolates and fresh eggs in the hen house. This house had everything you could possibly need/want for a relaxing getaway. Lovely hosts as well.

Linda was an amazing host and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to make our 5 night stay comfortable. We arrived very late off the ferry and Linda had picked up an online grocery order so we could feed the troops on our first morning. This home's location is ideal for exploring quaint Deloraine and this entire area of beautiful Tasmania. Naivasha is truly something special and although we used it as a base, we could have happily spent our entire stay at the home. The home is beautifully decorated and equipped and the surroundings are just perfect, giving an unforgettable experience. We were constantly entertained by the local wildlife that cohabit and interact, and the whole family loved feeding the chickens and the ducks, who would all come to welcome us back from a day out. We would all look forward to heading back to the home at the end of a day outing, so we could again experience the tranquility and beauty. We had perfect weather and clear skies to enjoy stargazing at night, with the moon rising over the dam. The outlook over the dam to the bluegum forest is something we will remember for many years and we will certainly recommend a stay at Naivasha to anyone visiting Tassie. We have stayed at many holiday homes, and this is by far our favourite. We were all disappointed when it was time to leave but do plan to visit Tasmania again, and we would not even consider staying elsewhere to enjoy further exploring this part of the state. Thank you Linda for having us as guests at Naivasha, we loved every minute.

This is really a fantastic place to stay. Spotless, luxurious (the outdoor bath is amazing), beautiful setting and close to town. The kids loved it too - they immediately ran out to play with the chickens and look for wildlife. Our only regret is not staying longer.

My husband and I stayed at Naivasha for the second week of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. We had the perfect space to take things slowly, really soak in the beautiful scenery and enjoy each other’s company in. The cottage is lovely in every way!

Cosy winter retreat
Quality bed linen and towels, beautifully equipped kitchen and carefully curated design features transform this cottage from a good stay to a restful retreat.
It was lovely spot for our family to base ourselves to explore the area - so cosy to come home to. The home is remarkably clean and Linda had thought of every detail to make us feel we were on holiday. And the kids loved the chickens!

Naivasha charm
Linda was a warm and welcoming host; very knowledgeable about the local area giving us great tips on the local sites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this idyllic location. Our only regret is having to leave so soon.

An immaculately maintained cottage with character and tranquility, fridged by trees.
The cottage offered plenty of space and children's activities for the family.
The children had the best time ever feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, bird watching and rowing the boat.
The kitchen was well equipped enabling us to cook all our meals for over a week and a half. The selection of books were well chosen (having now read 2 more crime novels!), plenty of DVDs and games for the children too.
Beds and pillows were comfortable.
Excellent location to explore Great Western Tiers.
Thank you Linda for having us.

Excellent stay !
We loved the stay. It is a very a scenic location, bordering a forest, facing a big pond. The cottage is very imaginatively organised and functionally efficient. It caters to the interests and pleasures of children and adults. Kids loved feeding the chickens and ducks and collecting the chicken eggs. The cottage was equipped with board games for kids and lots of books. Hospitality was very warm and considerate. Strongly recommend an additional bathroom, this will make the score 5/5. We will surely come back again !

Beautiful, comfortable , well appointed place to enjoy a break. Thoroughly delightful place to stay.
Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed staying at Naivasha. The cottage has been renovated with such care and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. The bedrooms are presented beautifully, with all linen provided. The kitchen and laundry area are all well appointed with everything that we required as a large family to prepare meals and wash and live very comfortably.
Linda's hospitality was appreciated by our whole family. Home cooked cookies were a hit for some hungry children. Linda kindly showed the kids how to feed the chickens and collect their eggs. We were treated to fresh eggs each day for breakfast.
The living space was so cosy for Tassie weather. Capturing the days sun through the lovely double glazed windows meant that we didn't need to use the fire place each night. Although we did put on a fire one night, just because we love a nice fire. There was also a nice selection of books, games and DVD's for quieter moments.
We stayed for 2 nights but would happily stay for much longer if visiting again in the future. I would recommend this place to a large or small family - it is just a beautiful place to stay.

Best Stayz host I have ever had!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Naivasha! We were a group of 7 (2 kids, mum, dad, grandparents and great-aunt) ranging from 3 to 70+ in age and each of us fell in love with the property. Linda was an exceptional host and provided welcome goodies along with her time to ensure that we were well-equipped for our stay in the region. The property itself was immaculate and had everything one could possibly need for their stay - regardless of length. I will definitely be returning!

Awesome holiday!
The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing place. A beautiful location and we all loved the dogs,chickens,ducks, pademelons and especially Dot the baby wombat. A warm welcome from Linda with home made muffins and lots of helpful advice on what to see in the area. Such a relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. Can’t recommend it too highly.
*Year of stay is actually 2018 but does not seem to be available to choose on drop down menu !

Perfect property!
Thankyou Linda for a perfect stay last week. Our large family were made feel so welcome on arrival in Tas from Melbourne. The house was so clean and neat with plenty of room for all of us. Thankyou for the fresh milk, honey and muffins too. The kids especially loved swimming in the dam and feeding the chickens. What a beautiful out look. We have already given your property name to friends looking at travelling to Tasmania. Kind regards, the Irwin family.

Lovely family getaway
Thanks Linda. We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved feeding the chickens and ducks every day and collecting eggs! A great base for exploring the area and a very comfortable home to return to each day. That selection of kids DVDs was amazing. And what a treat being welcomed by a rescued wallaby joey!

Fantastic Family Holiday House
We loved our stay here! The house is so spacious and well laid out with everything you could need and more. A well stocked kitchen, games, books, a great fire - we had overnight temperatures below freezing several nights but the house stayed very warm. The house is so light and with peaceful views. The kids had fun with the chickens and ducks and Linda was a very accommodating and friendly hostess. An easy 5 min drive to Deloraine which has everything you could need, and a very scenic 1.5 hr to Cradle Mtn visitor centre. We'd love to stay here again.

Excellent property
We loved our stay at Naivasha cottage, so beautiful and relaxing surroundings with a lovely and comfortable property. It was maybe a bit of a squeeze for two families of 4 but was worth it for the location, property and price. The kids and adults enjoyed looking after the chickens and benny the young wombat as well as looking for the platypus, pademelons and other wildlife. A fantastic place which we will definitely be visiting again.

Awesome Cottage!
We loved our two night stay at Navisha Cottage. The cottage has lots of character, was very clean and comfortable. It is very well stocked with kitchen appliances, utensils etc and lovely Linda provided a basket of local goodies and home cooked muffins on our arrival. My husband and I along with our 3 daughters really enjoyed the surroundings - the view over the dam, Benny the wombat, collecting chicken eggs and the dogs. We would definitely stay here again.
