To all the Crew at Hire with Denis Our Stay 25/26/27/November

Firstly our appreciation for such an inviting, warm, fire after our 6 hours trip from the West Coast of Tasmania.
We were blown away by the fact you had thought of so many small details to welcome us to your cottage and home.
From the Congratulatory bottle of wine, fresh picked garden flowers, lavender sprigs on the pillows and a view to die for ….we simply couldn’t ask for more…
But there was….the advice on what to see, directions, and information packages in the Cottage folder.
Breakfast was a treat with the fresh laid eggs we purchase from Denis ,the Wildlife in the area was great , we were practically greeted at the door one night by a Wallaby , a little spooky after a Ghost tour ,but very beautiful ; in our short 3 days stay we saw ,; Wallabies , possums, echidnas, a huge variety of birds and a potoroo.
Not having a TV was great as it inspired us to fill in our time otherwise by sightseeing.
Quietly tucked away, your cottage oozes a fantastic ambience, the sunsets are blissful and we didn’t even mind the little rain we had.
To get such fresh oysters and have all the cooking facilities made it nice to have a quiet one indoors.
And your hospitality didn’t stop there. We were warmly greeted at Port Arthur by Raquel, your wife, who was more then happy to help us with all our inquiries.
We did however encounter one big difficulty, and that was leaving ….

Warmest regards,
Brett, Daniela (Zeehan TAS).

Congratulations!
