the shower lacked privacy, making my bathing experience rather awkward, not to mention slippery. also, the lack of a kitchen sink was a real inconvenience. to top it off, I was certain I’d receive a special welcome gift, but nope—just treated like any other guest. I almost thought about a good review, but just couldn’t.

Like it or leave it? here’s my verdict

A pristine escape, the Pea Pod delights with eye-catching design, and those sweeping ocean views make mornings magical. The hosts' eco-conscious approach adds a contemporary twist on hospitality.

Main amenities are limited and may not fit everyone's needs. if you seek luxury and extensive facilities, this might not feel quite right.

Beautiful design with amazing views and a tranquil atmosphere. Shower lacked privacy and made everything slippery. Overall experience exceeded expectations.

the animals on the lawn were a delightful surprise! fly screens would be great for ventilation.

Free Wi-Fi in rooms and express check-in were great. Shower could use more privacy.

I absolutely loved my stay! The beautiful gardens were filled with wildlife and the ocean view was spectacular. Tanya's homemade slice was the cherry on top! the shower lacked privacy.

the hideaway is a peaceful escape in a quiet mountain area, with stunning ocean views and a beautifully maintained garden. the room was super comfortable and unique, making for a lovely atmosphere. i really appreciated the eco-friendly approach. waking up to the wonderful sounds of wildlife was a fantastic way to start the day.

an unforgettable escape with eco-conscious charm and breathtaking views from your cozy pod

Stunning views, cozy pods. beautifully designed. Clare was super nice and attentive. Perfect for a tranquil getaway. the eco-friendly features make it feel special. Highly recommend!

The Vanilla Pod offered stunning ocean views that made waking up feel special. The quirky eco-friendly design of the pod added to the overall charm, with wildlife sightings outside providing a delightful touch to the experience.

While the pod had a unique drop toilet, the absence of a kitchen sink made meal prep tricky at times. The shower setup lacked privacy, leading to some moments that felt uncomfortable. Wifi connection was unreliable, which posed a minor inconvenience for keeping in touch with the galaxy. A few additional amenities, like a balcony chair for early risers, could improve the overall experience.

my stay at the hideaway was fantastic! the ocean view from my room was breathtaking, and it’s just a short drive to hobart. the eco-friendly pods are super comfy, and waking up to the sunrise was a treat. i loved watching the cute animals outside while it rained. it truly felt like a slice of heaven!

Let me tell you, the Vanilla Pod had it all! The gardens were alive with wildlife, and watching baby wallabies hop about while enjoying a view over the river? Pure bliss! Plus, the eco-friendly vibe made it feel even more special.

Not a single complaint—this slice of paradise was just perfect! The surroundings were idyllic and the facilities aligned well with my needs. Honestly, everything sparkled.

Staying in the Vanilla Pod with our dogs was a blast! Loved the ocean view while relaxing in the cozy pod. The evening entertainment, including local musicians, added a fun vibe to our stay, creating unforgettable memories for the whole family.

My kids wished for a playground nearby.
