“Disappointing, the location and the view were the only good parts”
−The place smelled like cigarette smoke, it was marketed as pet friendly but had ant poison at dog height, inadequate heating, fluoro tubes flickering, TV didn't have any sound, WIFI dropped out constantly, yard filled with dog faeces.

“Cute mountain stay, exceptional value for money”
+Lots of space, lovely views, everything you could need in a kitchen, lots of blankets, pillows and doonas. Take care going up the mountain road, we did it in the dark and fog but it was fine if you go slow. The sign for the Mount Rumney Escapes in a little bit before google maps wants to take you, so keep an eye out for the sign. Staff were lovely, arrived late into Hobart needing a place easy and that didn't mind doing that later at night. Exceptional value for money and not far from Hobart Airport
−Nothing to dislike

+The location :)
−The lack of a garbage bin to put our pizza boxes. We ended up having to take them with us! Also, maybe have a platypus cabin sign on the building for stupid people like us 😂🤣😅

“Beautiful simplicity”
+Our budget cabin was very spacious and clean, the little heater heated the cabin quite well. The full fridge was great addition and the frying pan was as-new so nothing stuck. To be able to stand outside and just listen to the crickets and ravens was soo relaxing 🤗.
−The only thing I would add would be a mat upon entry as it was raining when we turned up and there was nothing to wipe your feet on and some matches or a lighter to start the hotplates on the stove as we couldn't find any.

“Bush Retreat”
+Loved the location, felt like we were a million miles from the city, when in fact we were only 20 minutes. The dogs loved the yard to run around in. Nice place to lay my head at the end of the day.
−Platypus Cottage was a bit small for 4 adults and 2 big dogs but okay for a couple of nights. There was nothing to start the oven with but a box matches purchased the next day fixed that. All in all would not stop me from staying there again.
