Lullingstone Guest House

Beautiful accommodation with picturesque views, we loved our time at Lullingstone guest house. Adam and Craig are so amazing and are super hosts, can’t wait to come back and stay there again, location is really good as we felt we experienced Tasmania.

Recommend this place for anyone looking to check out Hobart.
Have a sit down by the pond and absorb the tranquility. The Wallaby and ducks were a bonus.
Thank you to Craig, our host.

Amazing guest house! The hosts are just extraordinary and nothing was too much trouble. The space is large, very clean and beautifully decorated. We viewed lots of animals there and it is just so close to Hobart. Can't wait to come back!

Dirty place, Scorpions are everywhere inside the house, the owner is extremely rude, odd smell in the rooms, cobbwebs above the beds, no privacy, this is not a private location.

We were kicked out by the owner after 2 nights, with no warning, because we "made noise" while trying to kill the scorpions we found. See the photo for the correspondence, where I ask the owner to help us deal with the scorpions, instead he yells at us and demands we leave the next morning. He never even warned us there were scorpions inside the house, despite us having a baby staying with us. Worst experience.

A few more details of our experience

NO PRIVACY - the owner can walk into your “private apartment” by simply walking through a curtain. He lives upstairs. The owner can hear our conversation, we can hear his footsteps. There is a lights out conversation stop policy at 10.30pm even on weekends. The shower has a translucent roof that is weird, affording no privacy even In the bathroom.the owner went into our rooms without our permission.
SCORPIONS - we found many of them in only 3 days. We notified the owner but he did nothing to help.in fact he yelled at us to quieten down even after we asked for help, and told us it was normal to have scorpions In his house.this is of course in addition to huge huntsman and other creatures. Scorpions inside the house however was a line too far.
DIRTY - cobwebs above our beds, weird smell in the house and beds were not cleaned properly.
NOISE - owner has a bird cage near the rooms which wake us up at 5am.
OWNER - the worst part of the trip.he was rude, terrible to talk to, abusive and horrible. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Don’t let your accomodation ruin your experience of Tassie
Avoid Avoid Avoid

Edit - response to owner: "outdoors were brought indoors". The irony. You do realise scorpions are dangerous? You do also realise that you have a duty of care to let your guests know scorpions run rampant inside your house? Or does your compulsive lying help you sleep at night?

Dear Craig & Adam may you forever stand proud as my stay at your colinsvale paradise has resignated in my memories as one of the best holidays I had ever.
From the gardens to the house from the views to the freshest of air. All of which is just another ace card in the deck of what this place has to offer.
I was quite emotional to leave.
After 5 nights in this mystical realm I've grown and will forever have Wonder memories that will forever stay with me.
Their compassion and respect amongst their extensive knowledge of Tasmania is impeccable.
Don't waste your time and money on a two night stay because this place is so much more majestic than a two day stay.
Much love from Clark, Ella, Kaiya & Jarvis

Lullingstone is an absolutely amazing place to stay at! Adam and Craig (the hosts) are the nicest and most caring hosts going out of the way to do small things to make your stay comfortable like lighting the fireplace, fresh new towels and coming up with a whole Tasmania itinerary! The property is beyond gorgeous, cozy and extremely well kept! I really cannot recommend it more highly.

Lullingstone is the most perfect getaway! My husband and I stayed last month with our daughter and two overseas friends. Craig and Adam are fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We loved relaxing in their beautiful garden and watching the flora and fauna up close. The house is stunning, so many extra little details and very comfortably furnished. A true home away from home. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you for having us!:)

Have only just arrived but this Air BNB already stands out as the best welcome from all the others we have stayed. The apartment is delightful.

What a great place to stay. It’s a hidden gem, less than a 30 min.drive from Hobart.
The hosts were incredible kind.
We had the whole ground floor for our selfs.
It has 3 bed rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, living and a small gym.
We loved the garden.
I definitely recommend this place!

This place is almost lost in a hidden valley, misty and green.
The house, built so obviously by hand and with love, consisting of exposed stones and lots of wood, was a delight. Fire lit in the evening, made it cosy when the wind blew so hard outside.
And we couldn’t find a thing from Ikea! Great!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Craig was always there for information and attention should we need directions to anywhere.
Lovely place for us all.we ranged in age from 86 to 13! Recommded.

Relaxing atmosphere, friendly hosts, a big hug from Adam on arrival made us feel very welcomed. Cosy and comfortable, will definatley be back.

Absolutely magical place. Very nice designed house. Highly recommended to stay here if you are in Hobart area.

Stunning place to stay in Sumner as I did. Very thoughtful touches to this unique place and host are really friendly.
