Mount Rumney Escapes Seaview House 2 - Eagle House

The location provided a wonderful sense of serenity and stunning panoramic views, while still being remarkably close to the airport and Hobart. Feeding the very friendly wallabies and spotting the shy brush-tailed possums was a highlight of our time on the property. We stayed in the Seaview Eagle House and found the convenience of using the disability car parking made our arrival and departure very smooth as it was easy to get bags in and out of the car. The four other houses didnt have this concrete space. The stay was very inexpensive, though we would have welcomed the option to pay for small luxuries like local wine or pantry staples to improve the dining experience.

The entry point to the property presents a somewhat unpolished first impression, as the drive passes a residence with a very rustic and lived-in aesthetic that doesn't quite reflect the high standard of the secluded villas further up the hill. Once we were settled, we found the minibar was heavily skewed toward sweets; while the selection of chocolates was impressive, there was a lack of practical staples like breakfast cereal or sufficient milk, which was inconvenient given that the lack of an oven and the distance to shops makes "ducking out" for supplies difficult. The check-in process was also a bit stressful as our calls to the contact number went unanswered and unreturned, and the 500m of rough gravel road felt a bit rugged for an upmarket vehicle without clearer signage to guide the way. Additionally, the communal BBQ was located up a steep, slippery gravel slope that felt a bit treacherous to navigate and wasn't clearly mentioned in the literature, so the option to pre-buy a food hamper would have greatly improved the overall convenience of the stay.

Location was fabulous

Unfortunately the disabled shower was poorly screened - definitely need longer shower curtains or lower shower rail, to avoid whole of bathroom floor flooding 😂

We liked the views and value for money. We had wallabies visit us and kids loved it

The bed linen and towels could have been cleaner. Access to the accomodation takes 20mins from highway. Need to drivesafe

Beautiful views driving up to and from the property. Very close to the airport but no airport noise. A lot of wild animals roaming around , kids loved that. Sofa bed in the living room was very useful . Dryer was also super useful because it was windy and we never had enough time to let clothes air-dry. Free Netflix was a big plus for kids. Quilt was light weight and very warm. Sufficient linen and towels were provided.

House felt small for us and having only 1 bathroom was difficult. Not having a shower screen door caused the whole bathroom floor to become wet after a shower. Toiletries were not sufficiently stocked for our 6-night stay. Microwave was not clean . Not enough cups, bowls available . No kitchen essentials except salt, pepper and oil. No board games or books for kids. Last part of uphill drive was gravel and could be challenging for the inexperienced. No mirror except in the bathroom
