Great place to stay. We only stayed for one night but would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the relaxing environment. Views of the surrounding are beautiful and can enjoyed from the perfectly placed sun room/verandah. Also, we enjoyed great views of a wandering echidna from the verandah. Highly recommended , especially if you love being close to nature .

WOW! Not only a wonderfully modern and clean home, but the views....just breathtaking. This is the perfect location to get away from the city noise and lights, just peaceful with the sounds of nature. Location it close enough to town for supplies, or a cafe trip to see the local areas, but nothing compares to the view and the stars at night. Great location to recharge and regroup as a family. Big thankyou to our hosts, Michelle and Blu, who made us feel welcome from day one with some supplies and were there if needed. They made you feel like you were family visiting with them. Definitely will look to stay again when we visit. 10/10 xxx

Million Dollar views
Cosy farm cottage. Looks very new. Interior was very clean. The sun room has fantastic unobstructed views of valley and hills, and comfy sofas to sit. Highlight was eating breakfast in the sunroom, while gazing upon distant hills. The host Michelle was very friendly and helpful. There are tracks for the walking. Great place for those who like nature and a quiet retreat.

Great little place in the country
Michelle was on hand to greet us and explain everything. Unit was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, with not only appliances and utensils but also a range of condiments, fruit juices and other beverages. Bed and other furnishings comfortable. Overall a very pleasant experience and we would happily stay there again!

Best ever….
It was wonderfully clean, modern and yet very comfortable. Every wish was catered for right down to some complimentary chocolates.
However, the best thing of all was the heavenly, adjustable bed - pure bliss for an old back and wrecked knees!
Thank you so much Michelle, our stay was far to short but it was great.

A warm welcome!
We were welcomed warmly by the hosts. They showed us through the unit, explained how everything worked and made sure we were settled.
The unit was very well presented, very clean and offered many comforts from the warm gas heater to the electric blankets on the beds. The kitchen was well appointed. We had a very comfortable stay.
If and when we return to Tassie and need accommodation near Mountain River we would definitely stay again. Thank you.
