  • "Our first time in Tasmania and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Leanne and Don were very welcoming and personable and made us feel very much at home. Their B&B is truly beautiful with an amazing view which we enjoyed from our River View room and the dining room. We would highly recommend this accommodation and we look forward to visiting Don and Leanne again."

  • "The personal touches to our stay in the Riverview Apartment were great.It is in a great location and even inclement weather could not dampen our time there. The views were sensational and the garden was a testament to Leanne & Don's love of the place.Thank you"
    sheryl & Alan , October 2011
     
  • "Just spent 5 nights in the apartment - very comfortable and felt like a home away from home with the lovely cottagey interior very tastefully decorated, including magnificent handmade quilted wallhangings and other craftwork. Everything included to make our stay a very pleasant one. Wonderful hosts and views across the river. The gardens were a pleasure to wander through and it was nice to make the acquaintance of Marbles the cat (probably not reciprocated!). Thanks Don & Leanne, we know where to go next time we visit Tassie!"
    Jan, March 2011
     
  • "We have travelled to Tassie on 3 occasions in Jan/Feb for the cherry season and of course to see wonderful Tasmania. This was our first stay with Don & Leanne at Donalea B&B and we must say it is the best located and presented B&B we have stayed in by far.We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. As hosts Don & Leanne were very welcoming & knowledgeable of the surrounding area. We strongly recommend Donalea B&B to anyone visiting Tasmania. See you on our next trip. Gino & Robyn QLD 2011"

    Howard, January 2010
     
  • "This was the best accomodation we had during our 15 day stay in Tasmania. I can only repeat everthing the previous reviewers have said about Donalea. It is THE BEST. I normally do not do reviews, but this one deserves a 5 star review. We plan to return for a longer stay. 3 days in the area was not enough. "
    Carol, January 2010
     
  • "A perfect place for a Huon Valley break. We stayed in the Riverview Apartment - comfortable, well-equipped, and with a wonderful view. Don and Leanne were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, ready to organise little extras which made our stay all the more memorable. Highly recommended."
