Guest Reviews
- Kim (10/5): -
- Warren Neil (10/5): Beautiful tranquil location - The location by the water. The hosts, Simon and Hillary were fantastic and so friendly. Unit 3 was very clean and tidy. Simon also has great knowledge of the area and very helpful and considerate. Great location for walks and visits in the area. But make sure you have transport as there is minimal public transport. Nothing really
- James (10/5): -
- Kenneth (10/5): Great place to stay! - Fantastic place and people. The cabin was wonderfull and our two girls loved it. Simon and his wife were amazing and gave us good information about the sourroundings. If we ever come back we will visit again There is nothing to dislikeđ
- Dominik (10/5): - Nice appartment, friendly host
- Amanda (9/5): Lovely short stay - Gardens beautiful. Next to the main road and easy to find. Sunset overlooking the water. The host, Simon, is lovely and very accommodating Some mosquitoes, for me it was ok but for some guests who are sensitive might need to prepare bug spray..?
- Dominik (10/5): - Beautiful area and the studio was well equipped
- Maurice (10/5): Our stay at ABâs on the bay was wonde. One of the best places we have had the pleasure of staying at - Fantastic accommodation, stunning property, beautiful gardens in a very convenient location and terrific friendly hosts. Would recommend to anyone. Everything was fine
- Yang (10/5): -
- Kelli (10/5): - Location was brilliant. Host was brilliant. We would definitely come back again We would have loved face washers
- David (9/5): Pretty much perfect stay. - Beautiful bay location. Nice welcome sign at our door. Very nice pre-arrival text. The room had everything we needed. Very nice large bed and quality linens. Great location for the tessellated pavement, Tasmans arch, Devils kitchen and the peninsula in general. An absolute highlight was the âRemarkable Caveâ. We climbed down to and through the cave itself. Awesome thrill. Would have liked a SMART TV but not at all a problem.
- Graham (9/5): - The accommodation was self contained, and rooms were spacious. Although the fridge was small. Plenty of cooking options. Location is handy to all the activities that we wanted to do. Simon is a very communicative host. The accommodation is a set of three units adjoining one another. So depending on how loud one's voice is, there may be noise from next unit. One of us found the bed a bit too firm.
- Mette (9/5): - Schöne Wohnung, ausreichend Platz. Sehr freundliche Kommunikation und wir fĂŒhlten uns sofort willkommen.
- Graham (10/5): Lovely !!! - We were well looked after and very comfortable in a lovely and peaceful location with a beautiful garden setting. Host was excellent All was very good

- George Vieweg (10/5): - The overall experience was exceptional, characterized by a pleasant environment and a meticulously maintained garden. It was a distinct pleasure to have been a guest. We anticipate a future stay. I can't fault it for what I paid.
- Luke (10/5): -

- Ryk (10/5): Very comfortable stay in a beautiful place maintained to be highest standards with a lovely host. - Beautiful gardens..neat, tidy, manicured. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Property, not the room,is right on the bay. Simon, the host is a lovely person very friendly and helpful. Well supplied kitchen The walls of the unit are shared with others and allowed some transmitted soundsâŠbut not objectionable.

- Ziling (10/5): Good stay and a landlord. Love the property and garden. The Photo Gallery on Bookings didnât capture the beauty of this - Simon is a really great landlord. He has a such beautiful garden. The house is clean and comfortable. We can tell that the house is well maintained by him. Nothing. Just a little bit far away from supermarkets and restaurants. But Simon told us before we came.
- heather (10/5): - Great spot just 10 minutes drive to port arthur Felt very welcomed by the owner who was very happy to help. Loved my welcome sign! Great facilities including the webber bbq If going there and cooking make sure to stock up before you go as a reasonable distance to shops
- Cathy (10/5): Great spot to explore the Peninsula - Great little spot. We stayed in the Skipper studio, compact but had everything we needed. Beautiful bathroom, comfy bed. For an overnight stay this allowed us a central place to access the Tasman Peninsula. Lovely gardens and the sunset from the waterfront was spectacular.
- Eliot (8/5): Very good - Our host Simon was very friendly and helpful. Our studio room was comfortable, very well presented and made very good use of the space. It was very good value for money. You could see how much effort had been put into the property overall, including the gardens, and the view over the bay at sunset was superb. The studio room was a little small, and we could hear our neighbours a little on the other side of the door. So while it was excellent value for money and comfortable, we probably should have paid a bit more for a larger room.
- Jason (9/5): Superb -
- Amila (10/5): Wonderful retreat - The property is a lovely retreat, featuring a beautifully maintained garden that adds to the charm and tranquility of the surroundings. The host is exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making the stay even more enjoyable. The room is not only comfortable but also thoughtfully equipped with a range of useful amenities, ensuring convenience and relaxation throughout the stay. Every detail reflects the host's consideration, making this place an ideal choice for a memorable and pleasant experience. We will come back again!
- Annalee (10/5): Great place to stay! Definitely recommend it! - Lovely place. Great gardens. So nice to be able to bbq our supper and eat at the picnic table. Close to everywhere we wanted to go.
- Wallen (10/5): Exceptional -
- pryce_tag (10/5): Beautiful, quiet and oh so pretty gardens. - This is the prettiest place to stay. Grounds are beautiful and it was quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the deck and it was a two bedroom unit that was large and clean and well stocked of items. The owner was friendly and so helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. The only things I would say is that there isn't too much around in the way of grocery stores, so stock up before you come. Also book direct with the motel. Best rates!
- Jo (10/5): Lovely people and atmosphere - The seclusion and gardens. On the water front Couldnât get the microwave to heat
- Lee (9/5): Very nice and relaxing stay as birds were chirping and waterfront is just a min walk from my unit.. Host is a wonderful - Very clean and well furnished.

Nothing in particular. No pest and no hiccups at all.

- Karyn (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Beautiful gardens. Host was very friendly.
- Christina (10/5): Brilliant hosts, units and location - Beautiful location, wonderful hosts who greeted us on arrival and offered advice on local food and attractions, I had a welcome sign which was such a lovely personal greeting. The space for either a family or a couple was unbelievable with board games DVDs and puzzles. Clean comfortable and tidy units. Simon gave us a tour of his garden and explained the local water life in the bay. Kind hearted friendly service and they offer free accommodation for cancer patients and family members going through the trauma of a family member receiving treatment and also signs around to start conversations raising mental health and suicide awareness. Both causes are close to my heart making the booking feel even more welcoming and warm. I my husband and friends highly recommend booking at this accommodation in addition the price was unbeatable value for money. NA

- Camille (10/5): - 10/10 hands down for this property. Simon is the BEST host, making sure all of your needs are met. The finer details he provides in the accommodation is perfect. Well maintained gardens upon entering which he takes much pride with. A real homely touch and perfect for what we needed for our one night stay as we were travelling.

- Janet (10/5): Simon and Hilary, you have a wonderful place. I loved my too brief stay, and Iâm sure I will return for another relaxing - With my name on a sign welcoming me until I left I felt happy. The unit itself was spacious, comfortable and clean. The garden surrounds well tended and the view of the bay from the back gate, supreme. Simon met me as I was unloading the car and we had a brief chat about the surrounding area. He let me know that if there was anything I required I could contact him. I felt relaxed and it was very peaceful. There was nothing I didnât like.
