The breakfast ingredients were the best we have ever experienced. Thank you. There were lovely touches all around the apartment including the caraffe of port which was enjoyed on a wet and miserable evening :) The bed was comfy with lovely sheets.

Sue Australia

Breakfast was superb with good variety and local products whenever possible. Location was perfect for our purposes and suggestions for meals, points of interest were very helpful. We made it a combination of relaxation and seeing the area and surrounds.

Judy Australia

Breakfast very good Location suited us very well Very peaceful by the river

Rose Australia

Warm welcome from our hosts. Everything beautifully & thoughtfully presented, and so very clean. No detail was overlooked. We had a lovely restful stay and looking out over the river behind was an added bonus.

Susan Australia

Excellent accommodation. Beautiful facilities. Lovely outlook to the river at the back of the property. Convenient location.

Susan Australia

Very nice location, easy trip to town. The level of cleanliness was was extraordinary, made us feel like royalty!

Kevin Australia

breakfast great, everything excellent. would go back again when next in area.

Fay Australia

Over looking a lovely creek, a lovely host, it is great

Connie Australia

The apartment may not have a seaside location but you got a large, private veranda with a river view. It's also very spacious, modern and just brilliant value. The kitchen has all the bells and whistles. Stanley is a 20min drive and it's a perfect base for exploring the far north-west of Tasmania.

Klaus Australia

Private, quiet, modern, clean with a river view. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you.
