What a great spot. It’s been a while since we stayed at a B&B so we were not sure what we would experience. The owner was great, personal, friendly and with a lot of great tips about the area. Room was clean and well organised, with a well-stocked minibar. The rest of the house was also well-kept and clean and the outside area was definitely the highlight with a Chimea, a paddock full of sheep and a nice little walk down to the river. Great breakfast was served in the breakfast area overlooking the paddock. Highly recommended.

This is a really nice B&B! The owner, Gary, is super friendly and hospitable! He's been in the travel and hospitality business even before the B&B, so he knows what he's doing. He really went out of his way to accommodate. He has good suggestions for activities in Tas, and he also makes a really nice breakfast! The view over the property at breakfast is amazing too! I highly recommend this B&B! I will for sure use it the next time I visit Tas!
