    Gary was a great host from the get-go. Very communicative and helpful with local area knowledge. The fire pit was a plus and the grounds were a great way to decompress for a short weekend stay. The breakfast was wonderful, gave us fuel to explore....

    Nice older home on the edge of town. Dining area with view of mountain and forest, chiminea ready for our use in backyard. Loved that it’s a working tiny farm with barn, garden, sheep and chooks!

    Gary was amazing! We loved the nature at the door step, with everything you need to enjoy an evening. The fire pit was awesome, as well as the friendly sheep and an awesome little hut on the creek to have a hot cup of coffee!

We’ve been in Dover for 10 years and have spent that time customising our farmhouse into a modern and comfortable bed & breakfast guest house. Delicious breakfast provisions are sourced locally with many ingredients grown or produced on the property. We're simultaneously proud and humbled to announce that in 2019 we were judged by our peers in the Tourism Industry to be the best Bed & Breakfast in Australia having been awarded the Gold Medal in the Hosted Accommodation category in the Australian Tourism Awards. We hope you come and visit and enjoy our hospitality.
Sadly neither of us can lay claim to being a Dover local, however we have both travelled widely throughout Australia and overseas as well as lived abroad and we have chosen Dover above all other places visited in which to put down roots.
A scenic 70 minute drive through the Huon Valley and you arrive at the township of Dover, set between Adamson’s Peak and Port Esperance Bay; Dover is ideally situated as a base for exploring the attractions of the Huon Trail and Far South Tasmania.
