What a great spot. It’s been a while since we stayed at a B&B so we were not sure what we would experience. The owner was great, personal, friendly and with a lot of great tips about the area. Room was clean and well organised, with a well-stocked minibar. The rest of the house was also well-kept and clean and the outside area was definitely the highlight with a Chimea, a paddock full of sheep and a nice little walk down to the river. Great breakfast was served in the breakfast area overlooking the paddock. Highly recommended.

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely bed & breakfast. The room was impeccably clean, and the bed was very comfortable, ensuring we had a restful sleep after a long and exciting day of travel. The property also features a peaceful, spacious backyard with beautiful flowers and sheep, which adds to the charm. Gary and his wife were incredibly kind and attentive, serving us a delicious, carefully prepared breakfast. It included fresh muesli with yogurt, black tea, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, eggs, and toasted bread – a perfect way to start the day. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, hospitality, and a serene atmosphere.

My husband and I stayed for three nights in this lovely B&B. The staff were extremely polite, accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. The free breakfasts were incredibly generous and catered to my and my husband's particular food intolerances. The double room with the garden view was spacious, meticulously cleaned and includes complimentary tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom area was well organised with a lovely shower and heated towel rack. I appreciate the owners' commitment to eco friendly materials and practices without compromising comfort. We greatly appreciated our hosts' support in allowing and assisting us to prepare our own meals using the charcoal BBQ and utensils they provided from their personal kitchen. We made some delicious food while enjoying the southern Tasmanian ambience. It was a wonderful alternative to the limited number of dining out options in Dover and surrounds.

This is the best place to stay in Dover. Gary is welcoming and looks after your every need. He will even book your dinner in town as dining options are limited in Dover. The southern part of Tasmania is isolated and it is very interesting to explore. Gary prepares a wonderful cooked breakfast too. He even has homemade tomato sauce. This was our second visit and we will come back again.
