We had a lovely one night stay at Rachel and Jet’s beautiful Design House.
Easy check in with clear directions and instructions.
This place was in a quite and idyllic... read more location, and felt at ease from the moment we walked in.
The place was beautiful styled and everything we could have wanted or needed was thought of and available. The linens and towels were fresh and plentiful, great light and space and style perfectly. But was easy to settle into and feel immediately comfortable in. The pantry and fridge were well stocked, with some lovely goodies and there was even a s’mores kit for the fire pit!!
Jet came down and introduced us to the horses and friendly wallabies.
The only thing I’d change for our next stay is to stay longer than one night!

In overall this is the best luxury Airbnb I ever stay. It is the little details that counts; the owner knows how to bring out the best of the house.... read more The wine choice, the fire camp, marshmallow, kitchen tools, e-guide book, music choice, the growing switch light makes it easy to find in the dark, and etc. Everything is well DESIGNED. Lastly the price is fair, does not try to rip you off like any other luxury Airbnb.
In summery 100/100.

Wow! Rachel & Jet were fantastic hosts and their beautifully styled house allowed us to spend quality time as a family in the home without the need to venture... read more out, although there were certainly options here. We did taste some local wines at a cellar door close by.
Furnishings were modern and the linen bedding and down pillows made for a very comfortable sleep. Bathroom products were high end. The setting was peaceful and so relaxing. Our girls got to spend some time with their horses which was an unexpected bonus and a great treat. The location is great if you want peace and tranquility. There’s even a chance to sit around the outdoor fire pit and refine your “toasting marshmallow” skills and have a great conversation or be hypnotised by the flames of the fire. We would definitely stay again.

After a few nights stay at the Tasmanian Design House we feel completely rejuvenated. It is such a beautifully appointed, well designed place with all the amenities you’d expect of... read more a high end hotel plus more thoughtful considerations such as a “smores” marshmallow biscuit making kit to take even the most jaded adult back to childhood. Loved exploring the bay nearby and communing with the myriad of sea creatures and settling in with a bottle of red in the evenings and pouring over all the good books. Some great walks nearby. We did the Cape Raoul walk (about 17k return) and appreciated a well stocked kitchen to cook up a pasta when we got back. Port Arthur is also close and worth a visit. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Thank you Rachel and Jet for a blissful stay!

Lovely house set in a peaceful bushland setting, but close to a local beach, to Port Arthur and Pirates Cove. Great base for exploring locally from. Extremely comfortable and luxurious... read more beds. Premium personal care products and a really thoughtful and generous set of amenities with the house. Kitchen well equipped. Wonderful spot to view the stars around the firepit. Highly recommended.

Rachel and Jet's place is stunning, and I was so sad to leave. There are so many thoughtful extras and creature comforts, and I could not recommend this place enough.... read more Also the beds are super comfy - perfect level of firmness but so cozy.

We knew when we’d found the listing for The Design House that we’d come across something pretty special- just didn’t realise how good till we got here. The photos and... read more description don’t really do this place justice - incredible location both for sightseeing and standalone, contemporary architecture which envelops beautiful spaces equipped in the most tasteful and thoughtful manner ensuring comfort and relaxation. Our hosts leant us an infra red torch to spot night time wildlife and despite our best efforts, we were constantly sidetracked by the Milky Way which hung with such clarity above us.
Thankyou Jet and Rachel for the consideration you showed us during our stay, and for building such a distinctive treasure in the huge enviable ‘back yard’ you are lucky enough to call home.

Rachel and Jet's house left a lasting impression on me. This architecturally designed home, located in a quiet area, boasts stunning scenery and a beautiful sunset. The hosts were very... read more welcoming and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable. One of the things that really stood out to me about this Airbnb was the attention to detail. Every aspect of the home has been carefully crafted to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. In terms of amenities, you have everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped all you need to prepare your own meals, even with breakfast ingredients ready in the fridge, such as eggs and bread. A nice fruit and cheese platter was waiting for us upon entry. The lounge has very comfortable seating and it's the perfect place to enjoy a sunset over the water. The serene surroundings, complete with cute wallabies that would come to the garden, really made me feel like I was in a different world. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
