The property has a wonderful garden, including outdoor areas for entertaining, and a nice deck to view and access the Derwent River.
The staff were friendly and eager to help.
I'd recommend it to friends. Nothing.
- Kym (10/5): Fantastic - Well appointed. Great position.Superb gardens. Nothing .
- Glen (9/5): -
- Alice (10/5): - Stunning location, heated pool and wonderful gardens. The hosts were lovely. Highly recommend. Great base for exploring Mount Field National Park. Nothing. It was a great place to stay. Thanks for having us.
- Amanda (9/5): - I loved the location, the rooms where set up nicely and the view was out of this world. The kids went for a swim in the pool. Being the family accommodation, I felt the fridge side was too small, I also didn’t feel safe with just a glass door set up without a balcony. I also have 3 kids and as much as I tried I felt sorry for the house under us… I didn’t realise it was set up that way. We didn’t have riverside access we had to walk around and past others to get it. But could view it from our room. All in all it was a great set up just minor details. I also think you need to have a mirror or something for your driveway as that’s so dangerous
- Beth (10/5): Could have definitely stayed here longer if my travels plans allowed - Stunning location. Peaceful. Clean. Comfortable
- Brian (10/5): - The location, cleanliness, comfort & facilities Getting out of the driveway. There was a bend to the right of the driveway, which makes it difficult to see any traffic coming. It may be worth particioning the council to lower the speed zone in that area.
- Markham (9/5): Wonderful spot to stay right by the beautiful Derwent River - Great location by the river, very relaxing, clean, comfortable and functional facilities. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend. Nothing
- Steven (9/5): -
- Bernard (8/5): - Propre
Confort Un peu loin des lieux de restauration

- LAWRENCE (10/5): Beautiful and comfortable place beside the river - The location on the edge of the River Derwent was both beautiful and peaceful, a very tranquil place. Everything was clean and spotless, the staff were very friendly. Be aware that whilst Paddy's Flat does have a microwave, a fridge and a kettle it does not have a cooktop.
- Lorelle (9/5): Absolutely lovely, peaceful, great value wished Ihad booked for longer!! - The location (Paddy’s Cottage) was peaceful. Devine. Loved being able to sit and watch the river running past, watching the birds and listening to nature. Bed super comfy. Table was too small for me to work on and had some wifi issues. It was a rainy day so that might have been impacting signal.

- Kerry (10/5): - Gorgeous river views. Room was very comfortable. Hosts were lovely.
- Michael (7/5): Ecclectic! - Really funky little property, ecclectic gardens and totally undersold the river location. You have your own private jetty, quiet and serene, lovely garden. Willow room was clean and well equipped, good value for money. No coffee pod machine, just instant coffee.
- Stuart (10/5): -
- Alison (9/5): -
- Michael (9/5): We had a splendid one night stopover and took several photos to remember a great time in New Norfolk. - Location, facilities, staff all great. Nothing
- Michael (10/5): We had a good stay and would have loved longer but that is the nature of live when on holidays. - The site was really lovely with the river flowing right outside the front door. Ideal for a retired couple like us but maybe a bit risky for ones who had small children who could be tempted to go near the river. This is the only reason I have given the rating to location that I have. Nothing we didn't like except the drive way is steep and upon exodus you do have a bit of a blind corner at the top. I had no problem negotiating the drive out but the wife said she would not like to do it. DON"T however let this put you off.
- Sarah (1/5): -

- Robyn (9/5): Beautiful setting and comfortable cottages - Lovely location right in the river. The well kept gardens, trees, and the water views make this a great spot. Street lighting in this part of New Norfolk is rather sparse. A light at the entrance to the property would have been helpful in finding our way there on a dark night; likewise, some lighting in the carpark area would have been welcome! We were very glad of our torches.
- Liana (9/5): Large apartment just 15min from MONA, great value - Modern and spacious apartment, booked last minute and it was perfect after a long drive, just outside Hobart. Nothing.
