Thank you very much Ali and Paul for the wonderful stay at your home. We did so much enjoy the views, the peaceful atmosphere and the nature around your house. Your concept of growing own veggies, having hens, sheep and cows that live a happy life was such a good experience, especially for our son. You have been perfect hosts, always in good contact, giving us all the support we needed when I had some health issues. And we did so much enjoy our get-togethers! Judbury is a perfect spot for a few calm days in nature, paired with day-trips to Hobart and all the sights around there. We hope we can host you while you are in Europe! -
Hi Anita, Thank you for the lovely feedback. It truly was a joy to meet you all. I had a great girls road-trip with you in to Hobart, even though it was for a medical appointment. Take cate and enjoy the rest of your Australia trip. Hope to see you next year! Ali and Paul 🌼😃

Alison and I regularly communicated and I felt as if I were visiting a friend by the time we arrived. It simply is breathtaking. Never before had I stayed anywhere with such views and was more than happy to enjoy a drink in the beautiful terraces. Our daughter and grandson stayed in the one bed studio and there is also a two bed apartment. We stayed in the main house, which was so comfortable. Plenty to do in the area and lots of wildlife too. We spotted wallabies and a Tasmanian devil nipping about. If you get the chance to stay here then don’t hesitate. Truly unforgettable Thanks Alison and Paul xxx -
Alison and Paul were the most delightful hosts. Our West Wing of their home was private, comfortable and welcoming. The Huon Valley is a beautiful area of Tasmania, with tranquility, nature & history at every turn. A great area to use as a base to discover the Huon Valley. Thank you Alison and Paul for making us so welcome with all the little special extras and your great company. Sandra & reg. -
It was the best exchange ! Ali and Paul are such nice people!!! When we arrived late they even made us spaghetti Bolognese and fresh baked bread and they welcomed us with a full fridge . We had dinner together a few times and they gave us fresh vegetables from their garden and it was just absolutely great ! We had great conversations and they loved our little girl. The apartment was perfectly clean and we felt very comfortable! Thanks so much again -
