Guest Reviews

• Pamela (9/5): Was very comfortable - Was very clean, good location. Could have done with a microwave.
• Kathrine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (6/5): Comfortable stay despite some shortcomings - The town of Geeveston is a great base to explore the southern area. (Hartz Mountain NP, Tahune Airwalk, Hastings Caves and Thermal pool, and the road to Cockle Creek). The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and showers hot. It was very quiet at night. I felt safe, with main door kept closed after hours. It had self check-in, guided by a manager on the phone. The main foyer had old comfy furniture and a fire place for winter. Very little cupboards or hanging space in the room. Had to use one of the bunk beds to house our suitcases, and hang things off. I didn't read the fine print and was not aware the room would not have a bar fridge or tea/coffee making facilities in it. There was a small bar fridge in the corridor which was shared with the 5 rooms. The kettle was on top, but the cups and coffee and tea/sugar was on a table in the foyer. The corridor with the 5 rooms was being re-plastered and painted the whole 4 days we were there. The "tea room"/Cafe was not operating except on the weekends (which was when we left!). The Booking.com website needs updating to reflect current circumstances. There were phone numbers you could ring to get help, but there appeared to be no-one on site. I think the motel is in transition of ownership which might explain these issues. It seems strange to be doing such big renovations in February.
• Trevor (7/5): Very good except for the bed. - Room was neat and clean with a bit of old world charm and character. The bed left like you were sleeping with your head downhill. Needs new bed.
• Marion (8/5): Very good -
• Marion (8/5): Very good -
• Clifford (8/5): Very good - Location was great Main bed was too small.
• Felix (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jodie (6/5): Pleasant -
• Christine (4/5): Disappointing - The beds The rest of it
• Bill (9/5): Met our needs for the night - location was Room was rustic but comfortable Overhead Light and one bedside light not working
• Maree (8/5): Great location and with a few tweaks would be fantastic stop over - Great location. Quirky comfy Bit more communication from the on-site manager would’ve been helpful
• Burgess (9/5): Superb -
• Benny (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (5/5): Room served a purpose but fell a little short in some areas - Location, comfortable bed. No coffee cups, no milk you had to keep going into dark/cold hallway to use kettle. There was no spare blanket to wrap up in.
• Courtney (10/5): Amazing! - I actually loved the fact we didn't have to go through lengthy check ins, just a text message with a pin number for the door There was 1 shared kettle and bar fridge for the 4 rooms, felt very awkward and there was no mugs out we had to go to the Cafe and borrow some, not a big deal but would be nice to have these in every room
• Rosalyn (9/5): Reasonably priced hotel in great location close to Huon Hwy - Our family room was spacious, clean, and just what we needed for a one-night stay. The hotel was located nearby to other shops and was within walking distance to a playground and a Platypus Walk, which was great for letting the kids burn off some energy before our next destination. There was a communal fridge for keeping our food cold, which we would have preferred in our room, although it wasn't a deal breaker at the end of the day.
• Trevor (2/5): Very poor -
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Pierre (8/5): Very good -
• Janice (6/5): all good - N/a didn't have any supplied We thought there was a Restaurant but that was a mistake.
• Greg (2/5): Accommodation was not available, and the Restaurant was closed. -
• Graham (9/5): Excellent. Room was very comfortable and clean. Very quiet. -
• Gp (2/5): This is not a B&B - The staff member was very polite Advertised as breakfast inc , told no longer available and it was free anyway. One small bar fridge in passage to service 5 B&B rooms, had no room to store anything, also only one kettle and toaster , remote had to stay in passage to service all rooms and finally had to purchase own milk as they ran out for a cuppa was advised by staff member she was running late for her other job and would get some later
• Anderson (10/5): Amazing, wonderful, magical and inspiring - Soy and Dan were the highlight of our stay at the bears over the mountain! There was nothing we didn't like
• Baker (8/5): Very good -
• Mills (9/5): Superb -
• Andrea (8/5): Great place to stay - Saw a platypus. Lovely & informative welcome. Loved the bears! Thought place was closed at checkin .Signs still up for restaurant even though it's been closed for awhile. Some noise from other rooms.
• Laura (9/5): Perfect Place to Launch Hikes and Explorations - Cute place with perfect location for getting to Farmhouse Creek trailhead. Staff were super friendly and greeted us on arrival. Town centre is great as is the Kermandie Pub. Wish we'd had.own kettle in the room but I think the cafe closure is recent and this is a temp fix. Great value.
• Stephen (8/5): Very good -
• Joanne (9/5): Very enjoyable, all wants accommodated, great service and will be going back soon:-) - Breakfast was delightful and very enjoyable. The hosts were very accommodating and provided breakfast before hours. Thank you :-)
• Sunshine (9/5): A charming place to stay in the heart of Geeveston. - Comfortable, spacious rooms. Breakfast was incredible. central location made it easy to walk to everything. Wonderful welcoming host. The cafe isn’t currently operating, it would have just made the stay that little bit easier if we could have had other meals/snacks there. Otherwise no complaints at all
• Jennifer (6/5): Pleasant -
• Matt (8/5): Very good -
• Lang (7/5): Good - great location, quiet and comfortable. only a few rooms, so make sure you book early. nothing
• Joel (9/5): Superb - the room was clean and well appointed the electric blanket on the bed didn't work and it was a little cold
• Clare (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): great place very central and comfortable - Breakfast was a lovely cooked breakfast served in a delightful dining room. The B and B was very central to Geeveston and close to the local bus stop which was handy. lovely walks nearby along the kermandie river There was very little toilet paper when we arrived. We were provided with more in due course but had to to go to the local supermarket to purchase as our need became urgent.
• Lorraine (4/5): expected more from a 'boutique ' hotel. obvious the place is up for sale. website should be changed - breakfast was fine. no sugar offered with coffee orders on either morning expected dining room to be open, it wasn't. only 1 shampoo 1 conditioner and 1 soap for 2 people for2 nights. used shampoo tp wash hands at the basin, sorry, not good enough. had to put toilet roll into room off outside table, asked for more soap.... never arrived
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good - We chose the property based on the breakfast reviews and were not dissapointed! Served fresh and hot next to the cosy log fire.
• Rosemaree (6/5): The breakfast and location were great. It would be fine if you wanted a nice place to sleep & eat. - The breakfast was terrific with poached eggs, bacon, baked beans and mushrooms. The location was central in the town with close access to the supermarket. There was no table in room with a good light for using a computer or writing and the internet access wasn't given. The bottom bunk was too close to the top one, so it was difficult to sit up. The air conditioner control and just a small fridge was shared in the hallway, and this was very dark at night. It was also difficult to see the contact numbers on the main door for access.
• David (8/5): Very good - Breakfast excellent. we had to share the single heating control provided with four other rooms and we needed to go outside our room (into the hall) to make tea and/or coffee
• Hallie (9/5): Superb -
• Zoe (5/5): Closest stay to ‘Faulty Towers’ we have ever experienced. Will not be returning - central location and comfortable bed The owner was quite rude and sulky. Service non existent. Rooms although bed was comfortable, we’re very cold. we had to plead to have more wood on living room fire.
• Lynne (1/5): needs improvement for us to consider staying there again - not a lot No one to let us in. Had to ring a number and wait. When we asked to see the rooms the lady became quite testy and remained that way the remainder of our stay. only paper cups for our tea or coffee and you had to make them out in the hall as there were no facilities in the rooms and no glasses supplied. Breakfast was edible but the bread was only waived over the toaster.
• De (9/5): Superb -

• Glenice (8/5): Loved it as did all the people who stayed at same time - Breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience of the place.
