Staying with Len and Toni was the best decision we have made in our trip to Tasmania. The house is in a stunning location, with views out of the top bedroom that should cost a couple of hundred dollars a night. Only a couple of minutes drive to beautiful beaches, world-famous tourist attractions, and stunning hiking trails.
