"Bad Bad Vibes"
When i first moved to Tasmania i Chose to live in Blackmans bay because it had everything i wanted or so i thought. I was shocked at the shear rudeness of people and the horrible traffic congestion. The views were good but that was the only one good thing of living on a hill. There was terrible wind everyday and this meant for a horrible stay at Blackmans Bay. They have tried to fit mansions onto postage stamp lots and this looks very unsightly and means that the whole suburb suffers from unsightly and un characterized houses. All i see when i look around is square blocks people call homes. Not only do i have unsightly houses but there is no such thing as privacy. Its basically like living in your neighbors back pocket i spent most of my 2 years at Blackmans Bay with my curtains drawn and blinds down. I wold never recommend this suburb and loath at the rudeness of people. wish i had of chose somewhere nicer to start my stay in Tassie.
I agree with DaleB the above review does not in anyway reflect the experience we have had in Blackmans Bay and it is a shame that such a poor rating has been given to this suburb. It is one of the friendliest places we have ever lived.
Hopefully BarbraLons has moved to another suburb or planet...
Blackmans Bay is a great place to live, the Neighbours are friendly, the views are great and its close to everything, also the Beach is a great little spot that's not too over crowded, I would highly reccomend Blackmans Bay to anyone. It doesnt matter where you live you will always get negative people like BarbraLons, people like this should stay indoors, the world would be a better place if we had less sooky wingers like BarbraLons....
How come whenever someone whinges, about any town on this site, they're always really bad spellers?
And they seem to be broke and/or have issues with the locals/neighbours and there's usually a dig at 'snobs'.
Just sayin'...
Here here I Hope They all have moved on....I moved to the Bay 7 years ago all be it in Rate Payments my home is there and i will be to one day.I love coming "home" when i can the place grounds me and makes me take stock of my busy life.
I LOVE THE BAY.
Having lived in Blackmans Bay for over 20 years, and now in one of those supposed "mansions", I think that BarbraLons has a touch of the green-eyed monster!! Sorry Babs but it sounds like you missed out on the blocks when they were selling for a song! Also what "traffic congestion"?? I think you might be confusing Blackmans Bay with somewhere else... another planet maybe??Add a comment...
I have lived in Blackmans Bay for over 30 years and find it to be a wonderful place and getting better all the time. New restaurants , coffee places , walking tracks etc make life very comfortable indeed. :)
Thank you for all the information! Sounds like a beautiful place to live.
Whilst everyone is entitled to their view, having lived in my places throughout Australia I couldn't disagree more with these comments regarding Blackmans Bay. Having lived here for over 20 years I have always appreciated the friendly nature of residents (I have never consiously met a 'rude' person) and sense of community. Perhaps the writer was having a 'bad hair' day as the comments dont reflect reality.
