Guest Reviews
- Jeannette (10/5): - The owner Kim has thought of every detail at this property right down to a chocolate under your pillow . Best I have encounter on our trip to Tassie so far!
- Melissa (10/5): Relaxing - It was cosy and still had that relaxing home feeling. N/A
- Troy (10/5): Awesome stay!! - Awesome location and affordable price. Amazing accommodation. Will definitely be back!
- Goodyer (10/5): Made to feel welcome. - Great host. Quiet, relaxing and comfortable.
- Jenna (10/5): - A beautiful location. Very homely. Nothing.
- AKHANDA (10/5): Everything Excellent - Everything Excellent Nothing is bad
- Pearson (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Renee (9/5): Divinely comfortable, beautiful and practical. - Truly, everything was wonderful. It is a 1 bedroom unit that could easily be lived in just as it is. That is how much thought has gone into what is in each room. Decoratively perfect. Stunning location. Quiet yet near to town (took me 65 mins brisk walking to the CBD of Ulverstone.) I only saw one portable cooktop. Could be scenarios where it would be good to have 2, but then again, I didn't look too closely. Perhaps there was something else to say, boil some pasta. Of course you could use the microwave if you had to.

- Emma (7/5): Not great - The location It was cold, not cleaned very well. Upstairs guests were in and out all night, went home early. Not worth the $
- Robyn (10/5): Amazing and serene - exceptional hosts; modern, confortable and impeccably presented apartment; and a location and view - Absolutely everything. Kim and Anthony are exceptional hosts and dedicated to providing a quality experience and an impeccable property. I was in the Studio apartment with a magnificent full-wall view to the changing tides of the Leven River. I drank my morning cuppa watching wallabies on the grass. The apartment itself was exceptional. Kim has an eye for detail with quality furniture, fittings linens and toiletries. Everything a guest might need is provided for. Kim and Anthony are very friendly, generous and helpful. I truly did not want to leave. Absolutely nothing.
- Tara (10/5): -
- Damian (9/5): -
- Paul (10/5): Excellent - The river frontage, wildlife, hosts, room. Price was a little high. I usually stay at the Beachway in Ulverstone for $110 per night - and they have refurbished their rooms to a high standard.
- Gary (8/5): Nice position but small and noisy room. - Pleasant lady and position. There are great looking rooms. BUT. The room we were in was small and under the loft and meant that we were subject to people noisily returning late at night as they climbed the stairs and wondered around on wooden floors.
- Dan (10/5): -
- Adele (10/5): Absolutely relaxing and beautiful - Relaxing Beautifully furnished and great size and view

- Cindy (10/5): A night’s getaway and wished I could have stayed a week. - Absolutely everything
So tranquil and a real oasis
Nothing spared, good quality body wash, shampoo, tea and coffee, butter and condiments for our toast.
The smell of the studio was Devine.
Kim and Anthony were awesome hosts, so friendly and welcoming.
The gardens were beautiful and the pillow was like sleeping on marshmallows Nothing…it was all top notch

- Lewis (10/5): - Everything
- Christine (10/5): The apartment was very well serviced and generously supplied with extras by the host. - Everything superb.
- Rowena (10/5): -
- Larissa (9/5): We absolutely loved staying at the retreat. All the little touches in the property were perfect! - Where to start? The retreat is exactly that - a retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Picturesque and relaxing! We should’ve booked the other option with a bigger kitchen
- David (8/5): A delightful location and hospitable hosts. - Needs better provision for cooking and washing dishes.
- Adam (10/5): -
- Glyn (10/5): Awesome hosts - even posted a golf glove to my home address when I didn’t realise I had left it behind - would highly re -
- Wanda (10/5): ONE NIGHT ONLY 😢 - We loved this property. Beautiful quiet location riverside. Loft apartment which was well equipped, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The hosts were helpful ,welcoming and friendly. We were catching the ferry to the mainland and only booked one night but would have loved a longer stay. Everything was wonderful
- Jarvis (9/5): Delightfully peaceful and charming. - We made our own breakfast as usual. The cabin didn’t have cooking facilities but the owner provided a barbecue top, which was perfect for our purposes. One of the most generous cabins in so far as utensils and provisions. Easy to improvise, which was fun. Cooking facilities may be provided on request, prior to arrival.
- Misfits (9/5): - Attention to detail Leaving
- Emma (10/5): -
- Sharon (10/5): - The location is great
Owners lovely
- Sandy (10/5): -
- Heath (10/5): Please Stay Here!!! - So peaceful and quiet but close to everything, owners were so happy and welcoming That we had to leave....
- Nash (9/5): -
- Steve (8/5): -
- Renee (10/5): Truly dreamy. - For this accommodation, I could file for divorce and move in! If it had an ever so slightly larger floor area, to fit a bathtub upstairs, & a washer and dryer downstairs. Nobody's perfect :)
- Lawrence (10/5): A comfy (well stocked) little retreat nestled along the Leven with the most friendliest hosts👌 - It was such a homey and comfortable space to relax in surrounded by the calming bushland and river The dryer may need upgrading or maybe we didn’t know how to use it properly as couldn’t get things to dry quickly 😅
- Selena (10/5): - Loved the attention to detail, so nicely presented. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The little extra touches were so lovely......candles for the bath. Cosy blanket to sit on couch or outside on balcony. Board games, books, breakfast items, fully stocked kitchen equipment.
The most comfy bed and pillows.
And so very quiet overnight.
Wished I'd stayed longer!
- wayne (10/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): Serenity and friendliness - The serenity Getting there
- Jayme (9/5): -
- Dianne Martyn (9/5): - The location on the river and the peacefulness Couldn't turn on the outside heater, so couldn't enjoy the outdoors to full potential. Had to go inside instead.
- Dennis (10/5): - Everything our stay was the best end to a fantastic trip. Kim and Anthony were the perfect hosts. The room had everything you would need. I didn't catch any fish.
- John (9/5): Lovely accommodation in a quiet, relaxing location. Much better than a hotel room!! - Breakfast was nice. Chocolate under the pillow was a nice touch too. Quiet location with a relaxing outlook. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was nice and modern. the Studio apartment is small, but it is what it is. I would have liked a desk to work at, but there is no room for it. Not necessarily a bad thing!
- Furkan (10/5): -
- Khadga (7/5): Good -
- Stephen (10/5): Modern, warm and beautiful property in such a scenic location by the river. -
- Theresa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daley (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, Kim was very helpful and friendly. Bed was comfy, and the accommodation was spacious and clean. We had a lovely stay and would stay there again next time we are up in that part of Tassie. Thanks for having us 🥰
- Renee (10/5): Beautiful and comfortable accommodation, both close to, and far enough from, Ulverstone CBD! - Oh wow, the layout of the rooms, the roomy bedroom, lounge and bathroom, the decor, the cleanliness, the homeliness, the colour palette, the angel of a host, the compact but perfect kitchenette, the beautiful bathroom with separate shower and bath, even the feel of the bedsheets was devine! At a stretch I guess not being able to get hot water in the bathroom sink (shower and kitchen sink were perfectly fine).
- Gooley (10/5): Wonderful - Serenity
- Jann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mikhail (9/5): Wonderful - Wonderful place to stay, very cozy and feels quite comfortable and quiet. Nice view straight onto a lawn and the river. It was unfortunately too cold for the patio but it looks very inviting. Inside the room there is heater and also the blanket is warm. Shower is all modern. Tea and even cereals with milk for breakfast, this is great. Highly recommended. Relatively little space, given that a big range of various pillows eventually needs to be placed somewhere, and also I am not a fun of the standard british-motel style bedding (I mean a tight fold of two flat sheets about the blanket, which all needs to be reassembled to sleep). But this is all minor and does not harm the overall impression.
- Wilton (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brady (10/5): Warm and cozy🤗 -
- Regan (10/5): Exceptional - Owner was super friendly and had an excellent apartment
Would recommend the stay
- Alan (10/5): Highly recommended - Great location, lovely owners, wildlife beside the river and extras in the room all a bonus.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martin (10/5): Loved our stay here. - Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing. Cosy. We stayed in the studio. Hosts are thoughtful, friendly, wonderful and welcoming. Great spot. Lovely view. A short drive required for the food options in town (but that’s a small price to pay for the peaceful surroundings)
- Crystal (10/5): A relaxing getaway. - Decorated beautifully , everything you could ever need was there.
- John (10/5): Wonderful Tasmanian escape!!!! - The whole atmosphere of the unit was cozy and comfortable with beautiful Tasmanian touches everywhere. Not to mention the gorgeous view of the Leven River and beautiful pademelons hoping around. Lovely bread and other first day supplies were provided. And special little touches like a chocolate on the bed etc. Very thoughtful and caring host. We had 3 nights in the mezzanine unit and were very sorry to move on!!! There was pretty much nothing wrong with this unit!! The only suggestion we made was to add a steamer pot to the abundant supply of kitchen utensils.
- Glen (10/5): Exceptional - Guys Please,please put lights where your driveway is on the mainroad, I missed it twice and nearly went into the trees another time. Also put a few lights down your driveway. Great appart from that.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (10/5): Cosy, comfortable, relaxing, just perfect. - Location, so tranquil, clean, great hosts!
- Rod (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly staff. Excellent accommodation and the nice welcome touches of fresh milk, bread, cheese and various condiments for cooking Nothing
- Kerrie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tania (10/5): Beautiful natural setting. Lots of space to relax - Private retreat on the river, spotlessly clean, comfy bed and great kitchen & living space. Can’t think of anything
- Wayne (10/5): Very nice, loved staying here, I'll be back, such nice people and a lovely stay - Nice quiet location, peaceful, quiet and very cosy, a very comfy bed and a stella night's sleep. Nothing, it's lovely there - I fit my Ranger Ute right next to the room, if you have something larger or a van there are larger parking spots literally a 30 second walk from the farthest room :)
