    Description

    Hey folks,
    My Partner Emma, our 6 month old daughter and i (Erik) are living on a 1500m² block in a 3 bedroom house in a lovely little village in Tasmania.
    We are 15 min from Deloraine and 30 min from Launceston. The Great Western Tiers are just around the corner anda definite location for you when you are into nature and hiking.
    You'll have one bedroom with ensuite bathroom to yourself.
    Emma is Australian, and i am originally from Germany. We are avid gardeners, while currently converting a big part of the backyard lawn to garden bed areas.
    We are always busy with doing renovations and improvements on the house and if we don't do that we are in the garden.

    What else ...

    Your own transport is highly recommended but not essential. There is a bus from Launceston or Devonport that comes a couple of times a day but you will find public transport quite limited.
    We have bikes you can use to get around the village, we are a short distance from local shops, parks, coffee shops, pub etc.
    We are farily relaxed around house rules as long as you keep things tidy and clean. Please note we have a little one so unfortunately our partying days are over and if noise could be kept to a minimum at night.
