Aplite House

Remote but central to our interests

Humble but well thought out facilities

Lovely house. Great kitchen with everything you need. Lots of extras including a bottle of fizz in the fridge. Lots of inquisitive wildlife too

Even though the fire worked well, the house was very cold, especially the bedroom and bathroom. The area where the bath is outside is pitch black and it’s hard to see what you are doing. Bathrobes would be a great idea for when you get out of the bath

The peaceful bush setting is delightful with many birds and animals visiting. The beds and lounges were very comfortable (the dining chairs less so). The cooking facilities were good for self catering (with the exception of storage space for non-perishable supplies). Contact with the owner was quick and easy. The WiFi and entertainment system were great and easy to use. The location between major attractions in the area is generally good, however, it's more like a 4-5 km drive to Friendly Beaches, as there is not a walking track from the house to the beach.

Lack of storage for clothing - I hate living out of a suitcase! Ensuites for both bedrooms, but only one toilet shared between the two. There are no blinds in the kitchen/dining/living area and we found the glare on the concrete floors very uncomfortable plus it was hot sitting and cooking in the sun in that room (we made almost exclusive use of the TV room instead). The unsealed (very bumpy) driveway is 2.2 kms from the main road. We drove a hired SUV, which managed the drive at a very slow speed, but I'm not sure how a low wheel base sedan would go. Friendly beach is not a good walking beach as the sand is too soft - great if you want to sit in the sun though.

Very architectural. Great response from owners and staff.

When we booked we looked at the photos of beaches, sand dunes, activities listed on the property listing. Due to lack of car rentals available in Tasmania at the moment we were dropped off at the property 2km up a dirt track and pretty much stranded there! No wifi for first day (sorted quickly though 🙏) I just think if you book this property you must know it is extremely isolated and nothing in walking distance Norhing!! We were very disappointed as we thought we had booked a house with access to beach walks. The house is beautiful though. The owners extremely helpful 🙏
