Iron Creek Bay Farm Stay

The farm stay is a very cool property and we should have loved everything about it-but we didn’t. Check in is confusing and dropping bags at the room is problematic on a one way road with no where to pull over. Once we got to the room it was beautiful and looked out over the farm-and the bay-breathtaking. We enjoyed a beautiful walk before dinner-the food was delicious. However the service, especially for cocktails was slow and inexperienced. The cocktail list was extensive-but they didn’t even have basic ingredients or knowledge on making them! No citrus, cherries or sugar cubes!! I believe it is a new property and it hasn’t really taken off yet-the location near the Hobart airport is a huge plus, so I hope things improve.

Interaction with the animals was brilliant. Having the Alpaca's come right up to our balcony when eating, and chilling was awesome. Cleanliness is what let things down a little, which was all the poop and stuff on the chairs and table on the balcony, and a fair amount of dust in various parts of the room. Overall it was fair, and as it was a short stay, not being able to sit and have breakfast with the Alpaca's wasn't a deal breaker. Just would have been nice if that area was a little cleaner. The restaurant was awesome as well. Food was delicious, and good service. Ended up eating breakfast and dinner there. Parking was a bit tough. Recent rain had turned the parking nearest to our room (still a bit of a walk) into a mud pit. We were in building 12 I think. Other than that, a nice peaceful stay, and would go there again. Glad I found the place.

Bad setup in regard to no parking of vehicle near room and having to cart luggage from car park to room.

Slightly quirky hotel & associated restaurant/cafe (different building with no covered walkway approx 300m apart) Good location for airport, wonderful views, excellent (but not cheap) restaurant, the standard rooms are small, clean and modern but basic with limited soundproofing between rooms (more like student accommodation). Need to have a car to travel into the local town if you require alternative meal options.

Promotional material needs to be altered. Farm stay really doesn't seem appropriate. Also improved parking should be a priority. Extreme praise for receceptionist Rachel and cleaner Polly.
