staff was super friendly and I asked if I could get a special patter made up for my husband birthday and wow what a platter Breakfast was outstanding and George the orphan lamb was super cute If ever in Dover again will definitely be staying here again

Rita Australia

We were welcomed by a professional host who had thought of and provided all we required.

Lynne Australia

We loved our room, it was so comfortable. The bathroom facilities were great. Although we arrived earlier than anticipated Lorraine didn't hesitate to show us to our room. Wandering around the gardens admiring all the home grown vegetables and fruit trees was most relaxing, in addition the fire pit was a lovely setting to enjoy a sundowner. Gary cooked a lovely breakfast and both he and Lorraine were so friendly and welcoming. We would not hesitate to return or to recommend this to any of our friends.

Sharon Australia

The Room was really nice. Comfortable, roomy, well decorated. The view is very relaxing, across a meadow unto wooded hills. The area is comfortably quite and beautiful. Gary, the host, makes you feel like you're visiting a really good friend, not just having a room for the night. And the breakfast is superb!

John United States of America

The room was beautifully presented plus a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hotel stacked mini bar!

Nick Australia

Excellent home cooked English breakfast with locally sourced ingredients.

Filippos United Kingdom

Gary was a great host and had afternoon tea of scones and tea ready when we arrived. The room was very comfortable and clean, and breakfast was amazing and prepared to our dietary requirements.

Heather Australia

Friendly and helpful service, lovely room and the best breakfast!

Walter Australia

Breakfast was excellent you couldn’t want for more, Gary was very informative about the area

Judith Australia

I love the added touches just to make the place more comfortable, the heated towel rack, the little hut down by the river, the home made jams and jelly’s, the cute cat wandering the property.

Host Review Score
Gary & Lorraine
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.
