It's a "fancy" bathroom but the shower door didn't shut properly and water drains out of the shower - not into it. There is carpet in the kitchenette (which is not especially practical), the dining table wobbled and was unstable and the dining chairs looked great but were unnecessarily heavy. It was easy to bump my head on the wall mounted TV. The main room light didn't work - a blown bulb - and could not be replaced over the Easter weekend. It was quiet the first night (one other car) but noisey over the Easter weekend when there were more guests and the guest laundry was in heavy use (there is no lock on the laundry so perhaps it was being used by a local farm worker!) Lovely location but not as functional as it could be.

Wonderful location, large room, comfortable bed, the robes, the views, the light, the cattle on the adjoining property, the black swans on the nearest bay, the fairy penguins searching for a nest beside the local road, the(txt) and phone communications with the owner / manager, the relative remoteness (it's a 10 minute drive into Stanley), the thoughtful "nice" touches, the quality of the woodwork in the room.

This was such a wonderful peaceful location. The attention to detail was amazing. I would have given the place a ten but the curtains in the main bedroom were a bit fusty. Otherwise it was the perfect place to unwind.

Although clean enough, needs a little more attention to detail with a meal left in the oven (surprise) and the outside rubbish and recycling bins full.

We were upgraded to the Technician's Cottage (thank you again Charlotte) which was superb as it was self-contained allowing us to cook and relax throughout the week. With a well appointed bathroom, a very comfy bed and a cosy fire the location is a bit out of town in splendid isolation.

The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The accommodation is a short drive out of town and is quiet with a lovely ocean view. The history of the building is interesting. Communication with the host was seamless with quick responses and great instructions to facilitate an easy check in.

Charlotte is a kind and generous host, readily available to answer any queries or solve minor problems. We had a great stay at the Cable Station and loved the rugged location!

There seemed to be a problem with the TV reception, though it didn’t really bother us.

The accommodation was very nice. Quality linen, comfortable bed, and lovely quiet outlook across the ocean. Beautiful sunset views.

The view from the back, the spacious rooms. It was so peaceful.

The accommodations were very spacious. Very well equipped and it had all the amenities one could possibly ask for.

Poorly designed, very basic kitchenette. Heating option. 2 of 3 mornings, other guests using the laundry, by 8:00am. The message is lost in the compendium, needs to be a large, definitive, sign in the laundry.

Impressive building. Remote (relatively) location. Very comfortable bed. Bathroom ( needs heating, however ). Sunset.

Not good TV reception, but most likely due to the area and wind. Didn't matter as we were busy.

Well equipped, very comfortable bed, peaceful setting. Excellent communication with owners.

Unique property, good location only a short drive out of Stanley.

The cooking options were rather limited in terms of work surfaces and appliances but the bbq worked well

The exceptional isolation of the location in the middle of the pastures, under the wide open skies. The view of the ocean when driving up to the station.

Suggest guests take bottled water for drinking. The rainwater while safe had a strange taste.

Property was spacious and well equipped. Quiet location only 5 minutes to town. Appreciated the red filtered torch for viewing little penguins.

We were afraid the toilet sewerage was going to overflow!

Mattress in main bedroom was like a hammock. Floors had hairs and a lot of mouse poop (I understand it is an old house amongst fields but it could of been removed -once I cleaned it all up it did not appear that the mice returned) also old opened foods from previous guests in drawers that was mouldy as. Felt a little musty and tired.

Amazing to stay in a historic place of interest, beautiful surrounds, expansive grazing fields and coastal views. For a wild and windy part of Tasmania once inside you were cosy and warm. Bathrooms were modern, heated flooring a treat and a lot of room in the Technicians Cottage for family or two couples. Quality sheets and towels, generous coffee/tea, dishwasher, view from the kitchen sink amazing!
