Our hosts were simply magnificent! Don went 'above and beyond', driving us to pick up our car, which we'd left in Geeveston after attending a 50th birthday party the previous evening. The self-contained apartment is large and comfortable. They even provided beautiful home-grown blackberries and delicious cherries, on top of the usual breakfast items.

A perfect little piece of paradise! Our hosts were so welcoming. Our room clean, spacious and very comfortable. Continental breakfast, along with the amazing view was a delight. Conveniently located in a quiet spot for exploring all the sights of the Huon Valley and beyond.

Very very good

So well appointed. Every need has been anticipated, from the umbrella outside your door in case of rain to the Christmas tree in the lounge for the festive season and the home made fruit cake slices for supper. There is nothing I could suggest to make this more comfortable.

We loved our stay at Donalea. Second time there and it won't be our last. Attention to detail is first class. Breakfast was really well catered. Homemade preserves & breads, stewed fruits, yoghurt and a variety of cereals. Nothing too much trouble. Comfy bed, a view to wake up to and beautiful garden to roam. Can't rate high enough. Don and Leanne fabulous hosts.

Country serenity at Donalea Bed and Breakfast

Amazing accommodation tucked away in a country atmosphere with water views. The accommodation was large with a seperate bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and loungeroom making the living space very comfortable. Although close to the road it was exremely quiet and serence. Very lean and well equipped accommodation. Highly recommend.

Nice 2 bedroom unit!

Very nice unit, clean and cosy. The unit was very cold when we arrived in rain and after a long drive, it took a good 2-3 hour to warm up the entire unit, no heating in both rooms but the electric blanket was sufficient. A heater would be an improvement in the bathroom. All in all a good place especially for family.

Terrific B & B

Terrific B & B, host's were very welcoming. Had the 2 bedroom suite, very cosy, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was nice with cereals, yogurts, fruit, toast, milk, etc. Heating worked very well during the cold period we had. All in all, a great location to discover the Huon district.

We booked at the last moment and weren’t really sure what we were getting but very pleasantly surprised, a lovely country cottage feeling with nice views of the garden and river. Everything you could want in the kitchen, big bathroom and comfortable lounge room. The beds were comfortable and best of all they had electric blankets.

It was like a home away from home. Comfortable and roomy. The property is like a botanical garden. My wife and I wished we could have spent more time to explore the property. The hosts Leanne and Don couldn’t have done anymore to welcome guests. Also the breakfast is something you need to try for yourself, even down to the home baked breads 👍
