"Very spacious room. Great ensuite bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Wonderful terrace overlooking a small river where Platypus live. Laura was so kind to send a necklace we had forgotten to our next accommodation. Thank you so much Laura!"
"A lovely home away from home, with a thoughtfully stocked fridge. The little extras were a delightful surprise. Beautiful outlook over the river and the welcoming of our little dog. Thanks so much we loved our stay and were more than comfy and cozy."
"This is a very impressive B&B, it was well appointed and we liked everything about it. The breakfast was good. It had a balcony overlooking the stream. We highly recommend it, best of the stops in Tassie."
Superb, excellent, fantastic, awesome....... really we didn't expect an accomodation like this. I just strongly reccomend to other travellers.
"Sleek, stylish, fabulous bedroom and bathroom separate from the kitchen/living room. Continental breakfast was provided and was beyond expectations. Fresh produce, varieties of bread and cereals and a coffee machine. We loved it!"
