On Saint Valentine's Day, Swansea was host to the Great Tasmanian Bike Ride, and we had four rooms full of cyclists, and had the other rooms taken as well. I think it was our most dynamic and delightful groups of guests we have had yet. We had a full house, so it was lots of work, but when you experience people enjoying their time in Tassy so much, it's rewarding. One of our guests, fearing that I'd be much too busy to concentrated on Valentine's Day, gave me a rose, to give to Jodie!
For the bike ride, there were about 1200 riders, and a self contained city that made their way down the East Coast of Tasmania. I was impressed with the exercise in logistics, and that the site was completely packed away except for a rubbish pick up [LOTS of wheelie bins] by the time we got to poke our heads outside after breakfast service. The ride had it's own radio station, newspaper, cinema and pizza oven [and other hot meals]. Different entertainment was organised each night, including speed dating in Swansea on Valentine's day.
We had the JAG club a few days later, on their tour through Tasmania. It was certainly the best looking car park we've had since we've been here [which normally sees more than it's fair share of rental cars].
