- Richard (9/5): -
- Emma (9/5): Great place to stay with family or friends. - Lots of space, close to restaurants, river and town. Facilities and little added extras such as breakfast cereals, bread and condiments were a nice touch.
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Rod (10/5): -
- Brown (10/5): - Almost everything Lack of cooking utensils and frypans

- Wendy (10/5): Beautiful property - A beautiful, spacious house. It would have been good to have a shower in the 2nd bathroom rather than just a bath
- Lorraine (10/5): Great Location - Loved the beautiful old house very clean, nice kitchen beautiful comfy bed. Great location.

- Michael Leonard (10/5): -
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Carl (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect. Very comfortable for our group. Kitchen dining area was perfect allowing us to self cater.
- Julie (9/5): Peaceful, easy and rejuvenating. - Beautiful house with plenty of room, comfy beds and great location. Hosts were prompt in answering queries and very obliging. A couple of tiny things - tap in bathroom dripped and no dish cloth supplied. Otherwise all good.
- Jenny (10/5): Fabulous, would definitely stay here again with a fsmily or friend group ❤️ - Everything !!!
Location, views, ambience, beautiful rooms, sunroom, large lounge room & kitchen to accommodate a family of 6. The decor, warm & cosy on a cold Tassie night. Superb ❤️ Nothing
- Courtney (9/5): Superb - The house, the amenities, and the location were beautiful. Everything that you could need was provided. Washing machine, dryer, cleaning supplies, milk, eggs, bread and etc etc. The house contained board games and a playstation for the children to use, which was great. When I walked in I was in awe at what we had actually booked as the photos do not do it justice!HUGE HUGE house with 2 fantastically sized living area's with a stunning sun room to capture the morning sun. Large windows to catch the view of the bay. A fabulous little coffee shop 2 minutes walk away as well as a pub/bistro located directly across the road. We were very, very happy with this booking. It exceeded my expectations, and I wish we had spent our whole holiday there as opposed to the 3 nights we spent in Hobart, hahahaha. The house needs a really deep clean. It's not as noticeable at first until you actually start using the bathrooms/kitchen etc etc. As my husband was cooking dinner one evening he noticed that the range hood started to drip with oil. As he looked closer we discovered it was absolutely caked on. And as the heat rose, it started to melt it so it started dripping over our food. Very dusty all over. The bathroom with the bath was the worst. The bath is free standing and not attached to the wall. As I was enjoying a relaxing soak I looked down and saw what appeared to be weeks worth of hair, dust and filth. The dust is all over the floors/skirting boards, pedestal fans, blinds etc etc. As I said, it needs a really deep clean. The bed linen had some really noticeable stains/marks also which made me question if it had been washed prior to our arrival. One of the blue sheets/pillowslips looks as if oil had been spilled on it and was very noticeable.
- Louise (9/5): Superb -
- Jeff (8/5): Very good -

- Andrea (8/5): Beautiful home with great views - Great location and lovely old home great views Just needed good clean skirting boards are very dirty and home smells musty can't open windows in back queen room second bathroom has some issues with plumbing we feel bath dripping tap and toilet seemed blocked or slow flush
Another thing you may like to change the tea towels as they are smelling terrible we washed them but couldn't get rid of the smell and the cups in draws and fry pan et. Was still dirty and greesy cups had offee foam al lon inside just feel you need to know these things so you can fix them you do have a beautiful old home in great location
- Sandra (8/5): Fabulous character villa in an excellent location - Loved the location and how spacious the house was. Loved watching people, dogs and ships go by Cigarette butts in bins at front and rear had not been removed. Disappointed that we were not allowed to bring our friends inside for a visit as thats one of the main reasons we chose the villa instead of a hotel (but perhaps I missed that rule when booking).
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Savva (9/5): Superb - Loved watching the spirit from the verandah and did not disappiont None
- June (10/5): Exceptional -

- Sapana (8/5): Quick one day stay with water views - The location and house itself is beautiful. Some beds were comfortable and it has almost everyting that we needed for a comforatble stay. Bedrooms were clean but unfortunately one bathroom especially the toilet was so gross that i have to wipe it before using it. kitchen utensils also had dust in them unfortunately. some beds are not as comfortable as others.
- Seena (8/5): Very good - Fantastic large and spacious property, close to Devonport town centre and right on the riverfront. All amenities were supplied, including breakfast items and electric blankets which were appreciated in the cold weather. Off street undercover parking was a bonus. Worth staying :)
- Judy (8/5): We enjoyed our week at Riverbank and were sad to leave. - Perfect location. Comfy beds. Efficient heating - cosy and warm even in June/July. Well equipped kitchen with some handy little extras. A mirror in each bedroom would be great, and a few more bedroom power points for chargers etc.
- Isobel (8/5): A very pleasant stay - The property has lovely big bedrooms and great access to Devonport. Not all rooms are accessible for wheelchair. The bathrooms are comparatively small and not easy to move around in for anyone with mobility issues. Some of the pots and pans don’t work on the induction cooktop which made it difficult to cook for a group of people (due to limited cook-wear)
- Irene (10/5): excellent location, great value, everything you require was provided - excellent, such a surprise to see the amount of stocked food items, very impressed, just loved the old home, so glad to see something like this place gradually being restored, so close to everything, walking distance, not far from the main shopping mall, beach, playground, and the sporting fields, and the sight of our beautiful Spirit of Tasmania, sailing past us, so loved our stay here, my little 4 year old granddaughter just loved playing the piano, which she is very talented with, even at her tiny age, possibly an extra shower, and not had that bath in the other bathroom, but us being a family of 7, even though 2 of the boys were playing soccer for most of the 2 days, we all managed with the 1 shower.
- Erica (9/5): lovely couple of evenings people & ferry watching - great waterfront location
- Karen (10/5): Beautiful house, beautiful host - The location was amazing, the house itself was absolutely beautiful and our host provided EVERYTHING. We will definitely be back. I liked everything
