The room we stayed in was quite big, with a vintage style furniture. Bathroom was also spacious - and all the basic toiletteries were provided. The ceilings were very high - they looked great, but made it impossible to warm up the room. There was a small heater in the room and it did not do much. Bathroom had a... More

Thanks for the positive feedback. Guests are very suprised by the size of the Apartment and we are happy you found it roomy & comfortable as well. Although considered a weed, we are blessed with some of the best blackberry plants in Tassie. Look forward to seeing you again one day in this beautiful part of the world. More

Waterview Apt. is beautifully appointed, with lge bedrooms, great bathroom, very nice lounge/dining room (exc.tv recept), with lovely views from lge deck and garden. Kitchen facilities simple, but clean with large fridge. Don & Leanne made us most welcome. Sadly, had time for only 1 night, this place warrants 5+ days.

We stayed at Donalea for one night during late October and wished we could have stayed longer. The Waterview room and ensuite were comfortable, clean, quiet and very roomy. You could swing a cat in the bathroom and there were electric blankets on the bed for those cold nights. Guests have access to a lounge and dining area as well... More

We stayed in the waterview apartment as we wanted a kitchenette. The view from the bedroom is stunning with plenty of privacy. The bathroom is huge and the facilities generally are a home away from home. We found the location perfect for exploring south of Hobart. Leanne and Don are wonderful hosts and even put our washing into their clothes... More

I stayed in the Waterview room in the B&B and the view of the magnificent Huon River never ceases to amaze me!

This is our second time staying in this beautiful B&B. My two aunts, mother and myself stayed here previously in October 2010 and have just returned to Brisbane.

We stayed in the very well equiped, private and comfortable apartment at Donalea. It is spacious and beautifully furnished with a lovely view of the gardens and Huon river. There is plenty of room if two couples wanted to share. We even had our own private deck to enjoy the garden, birds and view. Donalea is in a quiet location... More
