    The Blue House in December 2023
    Hi, We enjoyed our stay. The Blue House was clean, and everything worked. It's a great location for hiking in the Freycinet National Park. Check-in and out was easy. Would definitely stay there again on our next trip.

    A beautiful stay
    Wonderful all round. Gorgeous vistas, quiet, clean. Great position from which to explore Freycinet NP. There is no dishwasher, but thankfully we got to have meals with family who were also holidaying a few doors down and they had a dishwasher. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

    Liked: Check-in, communication
    The Blue House
    We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location just off the beach. Clean, well appointed and comfortable. Just what we needed. The only issue was that we were instructed that all information on how to get there and how to enter the property would be sent 2 days prior to arrival. Despite calling the property management the information was not sent to us until 15 minutes before we arrived at the property. This caused unnecessary distress to the start of a weekend away. It was the first time we had left our home since Mid March and we were feeling apprehensive anyway.

    Lovely spot, great with our dog
    This is a lovely spot, could kayak from the garden, dog loved the fenced yard, great view from deck and nice and quiet. Short drive to Freycinet Marine Farm (fantastic for a seafood lunch) and into Coles Bay. Property backs onto Moulting lagoon and is a 5 minute walk to a nice ocean beach. Only reason for lower rating on cleanliness was cigarette smoke smell but I gather this was a once off problem as it is a nonsmoking property. We are likely to return, as otherwise was great. Three stars only for communication. Managed by an agency not directly with owner and they were hard to contact, did not reply to message left on first day of our stay when we wanted to discuss the smoke issue and slow with returning calls and answering emails generally. All ok in the end but was a bit inconvenient.
