Windsong was one of our favourite accommodations out of a long list of great picks by Susie at Tasmanian Odyssey for our 6 week road trip around Tasmania. We loved the farm location. A short distance up a gravelled road inland from the main East Coast Road but still only 20 mins from Triabunna to the south for the Maria Island cruise. A similar distance northwards to the small town of Swansea which has a great Heritage Museum. The hosts Tom and Jane were very welcoming. Both of us coming from a farming backgrounds, we particularly enjoyed conversations with the hosts. Breakfast provisions were good and Jane cooked excellent evening meals which were served at a dining table in our large main living area.

Read moreWent there a few months ago with the idea of having a nice rest. Unfortunately, power was not good and when we were half way from cooking the power was not working anymore. We were told that it won't be fixed till the next morning ( when we were meant to leave anyway). The only thing we could really have was a hot shower. I asked them if we could have some of our money back as we weren't getting what we paid for and they started to be disrespectful to us. Raising their voices and saying we just had to wait in the morning for the power to come back 😔, and refused to discuss any deal. Never coming back there, worst customer service I have ever received...
