    The hosts were fantastic and took the time to explain everything to me. They even did my washing for me which was very much appreciated. The room was lovely and the garden was also great to explore. I had a very nice stay.

Don and Leanne welcome you to Donalea Bed and Breakfast and Riverview Apartment which we established in August 2003 and where we continue to enjoy the company of people from all over Australia and the world. Just imagine, lovely English style gardens, abundant bird life with beautiful views of the Huon River and beyond. Located just 40 minutes south of Hobart, we are central to many of the region's attractions and a wonderful base for your Huon Valley Accommodation. Both bed and breakfast and self-contained accommodation options are offered, with two ensuite B&B rooms and a self catering two bedroom apartment. The choice is yours. All accommodation has private entrances and there are no shared areas with the hosts. In the B&B you have your own spacious, guest lounge with logfire, TV/DVD/Video, with a complimentary movie library and a separate dining room. The two bedroom Riverview Apartment is ideal for group bookings and longer stays, with basic cooking facilities, washing machine and private washing line.
