My husband and I have just spent another wonderful weekend at The River House. We have visited many great B & Bs over the years but none we have stayed at can compare with this. Every time we return we are amzed at the attention to detail that Carl and Helen put in to running this beautiful B & B.... More

Well appointed with heated bathroom floor, spa bath, quality linen and tastefully decorated. It felt relaxed and a home away from home. Carl was the perfect host with great recommendations on where to eat and the welcoming refreshments on arrival in front of the open fireplace were the perfect chance to wind down from a day of travelling.

We spent the first three nights of our holiday at the River House. Karl gave us a very genuine warm welcome and we felt very much at home. Just the right amount of decoration around the place. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms spotlessly clean and warm. My husband doesn't normally eat breakfast but he couldn't get around... More

We were lucky enough to stay for a night at this beautiful little "boutique" Bed and breakfast for a girls night. The four of us were welcomed warmly by Karl and made to feel very at home. The rooms are very clean with a luxurious bathroom, heated floors, double shower and double basins. Everything has a clean, crisp feel to... More

It was the last of our 9 nights stay in Tasmania. We're exhausted and so ready to go home. Thought just a warm bed would be nice. The River House turned out to be such a delightful ending. Karl and Helen just made us so happy. The place (The Studio) is genuinely a 10 out of 10 for us. Spotlessly... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend over easter (2013) for a couple of nights. This was actually our first time staying in a B&B and we thought it was amazing! Our host Carl was awesome - I think he was a chef in a former life! Breakfast was great both mornings. He was also full of tips of where to go... More

We began our 10 day Tassie holiday by staying in the apartment at The River House for a couple of nights. The accommodation is beautifully furnished, the bath & bedroom luxurious, the kitchen excellently equipped. We arrived to a table laden with freshly baked bread, hand made chocolates, fresh fruit, muesli, home made jams, juice, eggs, bacon etc. !! Carl... More

My husband and I together with two friends stayed at the River House for three nights in late January, early February 2013. We cannot speak highly enough of this guesthouse. Wonderful rooms, great views and excellent service. The owners, Carl and Helen were absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. Carl cooks a delicious breakfast every morning with freshly baked... More

We stayed in the Gardenview Studio over the long weekend in March. The B&B is exactly as it is described on the website (i.e., everything – Facilities, Accommodation, etc). The room was really lovely, and immaculately clean. We found it quite spacious and were pleasantly surprised at how large the kitchette was (I’ve lived in flats with smaller kitchens). The... More

The River House is a great base from which to explore the delights of the Tamar Valley. We stayed with friends and each couple found their rooms to be extremely comfortable and stylish. We had the apartment and loved the comfort and special touches. Who would have thought that Tasmania would be having a heatwave? We were able to enjoy... More
