About Us

We are Sue and Jonathan and we own and operate Parnella Accommodation in the southern region of Tasmania.

Our perspective on our business is very simple. To provide a top quality service at a realistic price.

We have designed our holiday accommodation to reflect our tastes and the expectations we have when we go to stay somewhere. We expect the places where we choose to stay to be clean and comfortable with the management to be available when we need them but discreetly invisible when we don’t.

We hope that your stay at our places will meet with your expectations and give you the same sense of enjoyment. Our properties are private and secluded and designed to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

We are real fans of our region and we have no hesitation in recommending the many restaurants, pubs and cafés in the townships of Kingston, Blackmans Bay, Margate, Snug, Woodbridge, Huonville and further south. Kettering has a world class chocolatier who we definitely advise that you visit and then the choice of activities throughout this region is really based on your own interests. There are great fishing, diving, surfing, and swimming spots and bushwalkers are well catered for with everything from an easy country ramble to challenging day trips.
