We will be recommending this lovely little cottage to our family and friends.
Keep on giving Denis ; you are truly blessed to be in such a place.
Thank you for your Great generosity .May see you an other day " Anita.

Overlooking the historic Long Bay shoreline the cottage is only metres from the water in a peaceful bushland setting. Nearby are state forests and Fortescue Bay National Park, the highest sea cliffs in Australia and the three Capes, Raoul, Pillar and Huay. The cottage is within easy access to pristine beaches, a penguin colony and walking tracks and a few minutes from Port Arthur Historic Site, restaurants and shops, the Taranna Devil Park and Federation Chocolate Factory.

When staying at the cottage you can walk through Denis and Andre gardens. Since arriving in Oakwood Denis has replaced by native Tasmanian bush food plants the blackberries that had taken over the slopes on the way to the water.

Plant Nursery

The entrance to the garden is free and plants are labelled with their bush food usage.

The nursery is open 7 days a week. (Just check during school holidays as Denis and Andre usually goes away). The nursery stock natives and exotics.

3 young Wollomai pines can be viewed with Native peppers, native hemp, Huon pines, creeping strawberry pines, and so many more 10 metres from high tide.

Putt Putt Golf

Denis has designed a mini golf that he called a Bush Putt as it’s in the Bush (2 hours to complete).

The design of the golf is against common sense all the way; tunnels, holes were you expect them the least, balls going through bath, hand basin, canoe, a canon, wenches, frying pans, bridge, craypots, and more a real experience. A table and wood barbecue are available. Adult are charged same price as kids.

Published Comment: "Great quality for the price, very clean and exceptionally well equipped. Great friendly service from the owner who even took the time to light the fire for us. Great range of board games and cards - considering it rained the whole time we were there they were a very welcome gesture. Free eggs were given to us fresh from the chooks which was also a lovely gesture. Highly recommended as a place to stay and by far one of the friendliest owners of accomodation we have had the pleasure of staying with. Dennis even made arrangements to have a bag that we left behind transported to a convenint place for us to collect. Rare service indeed."



Other unpublished suggestions from the guest on how you could improve your service: "No improvements required - perfect as is."from a Take a break customer in September 2007.

hanks for our stay in this wonderful place. Its great to find a place that feels so much like home. The boardgames are a great touch. Will definitely recommend this place to friends. Only wish we could stay longer than one night. --Candice & James Stavas (Adelaide,SA)Dec 2007
