Guest Reviews
- Roy Daryl (6/5): OK for just one night but not recomended for long stay. - Location, spacious, Friendly host lives on-site. A decent set of cutlery would be good instead of bits and pieces of old sets. The carving knife has several big chunks out of the blade. Totally useless. Very old lounge suite and dining table and chairs. The chairs are to uncomfortable to sit in. Fortunately we were only there for one night.
- carol (10/5): - Loved the position, the view of the water was limited but we could watch the ships sail in and out of port. Comfortable, clean and felt like a home away from home. I was able to wash clothes and hang them in the sun to dry. We could walk along the wonderful waterfront, to cafes or the shops. We were unaware our apartment was upstairs, just the unpacking of the car was our only concern, we are in our 70's.
- Diane (10/5): Perfect location, very comfortable, warm greeting, easy check in -
- Lito (10/5): A well secured parking space is provided. The unit is clean, with nice furnitures, well maintained, and functional appli - A clean, well appointed, well equipped place to stay in Davenport. Nothing
- Annabelle (10/5): -
- Margaret (9/5): Very relaxing and peaceful riverside stay - Very spacious, comfortable and well appointed unit in a prime location on the riverfront close to cafes, movies etc. Homely touches like comfy cushions and quality fittings along with a friendly and helpful host and pet dog make it special. Nothing

Large vessels cruised past both night and day on their way to the mainland. Lovely to see so close up and quiet! Beautiful riverside walks. We stayed in the downstairs rear facing garden apartment. Perfect for a mature couple with no stairs. If you are going to cook meals for yourself at Birchwood perhaps confirm what cooking facilities are available in your unit with the hosts before arrival.

- Alreadytaken1978 (7/5): Not for young children - Walking distance to town and the water and also tavern for good food It was attached to the house where the owners are were it was separated by a closed door and there was lots of breakables around when you have young children.
- Oliver (10/5): Friendly owners, great spot, cosy place to stay. - This was a great spot to stay. Check in was easy, the owner was lovely, and it was great to see the spirit sailing out in the afternoon. Centrally located. I wish that we could have stayed for a few more nights.
- Cindy (8/5): Very good -
- Tracy (9/5): perfect short stay accomodation - it was spotless and comfortable and located right opposite the river front so we saw the Spirit of Tasmania go by! lovely hosts and an amazing garden view. it was a very last minute booking so we were lucky to get somewhere so lovely on short notice. not a negative as such, but the garden apartment is part of the hosts house with only a door separating it, and their kitchen/casual dining was right behind that door so whenever they were in the area or sitting there having a drink we could hear them as clearly as if they were in the same room as us. Maybe some sound proofing would be of benefit. in saying that, it did not affect our stay or enjoyment of that unit at all.
- Woodro (9/5): Superb -
- Francis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leanne (10/5): Perfect place to base yourself for a couple of days or even longer. - The hosts were extremely helpful, friendly and the unit was spotless. It was all the little things that made it a beautiful stay, great location and easy to get around. Good local knowledge helps you to explore less touristy spots Nothing!!!

- Marco (10/5): Stay @ Birchwood on the River - We arrived at the Birchwood on the River to be greeted by Smiling and happy owner of the Birchwood on the River. Rex showed us through the holiday unit, way beyond our expectation. The Holiday Unit was setup in a way it felt like it was home away from home. The Holiday unit was clean fully furnished with excellent appointments, very close to town centre. Rex was very knowledgeable of the area, recommending of sites to visit. Very happy 10 out of 10 will definitely recommend family and friends to stay there. Will be booking our next holiday to stay at the Birchwood on the River. Thank you Rex for accommodating us and ensuring we were comfortable.
- Malcolm (10/5): Pleasant Stay - We found our accommodation to be warm and friendly and our hosts could not do enough to make us feel welcome. They informed us of what to do in the local area and suggested places to eat. The rooms were very clean and we had all we needed to cater for ourselves. Our host even offered helpful advice on driving in the wintry conditions on Tasmania's roads. A very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to book it again.
- Alan (10/5): At Home across the Water - The accommodation was very comfortable. All facilities were first rate and the feeling was very homey. Great setting with a garden room that emphasised the personal touches of the owners. Felt very much at home. Travelling from Sydney it was so nice to have this style of accommodation greeting us in Tassie.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Exellent place right on the river bank, not the most luxurious hotel but very cosy and carefully looked after, beautiful garden, every thing was clean as soon as you enter the driveway gate. Lovely hosts Julianne & Rex. Loved their beautiful dogs too.
- Lyn (10/5): - An absolute delight in every way. Comfort and cleanliness of a very high standard.
