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

This was our first ever stay in a B&B and must say I think we picked the best straight off. Carl is a great host, very informative but not intrusive. The room was tastefully decorated and included a separate kitchen and spacious bathroom. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the Tamar was a real highlight (Carl makes a fabulous omelette). Helen...

We stayed two nights in February 2013 in this beautiful B&B. For us it was one highlight while travelling in Tasmania and Australia. The breakfasts with the views overlooking the Tamar River are fantastic, the rooms so tasteful with loving details. Carl and Helen are great hosts and we felt immediatly at home. In other words, we must come back.... More

We have now stayed at this B & B 3 times and love it. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious and very filling. The outdoor swimming pool is lovely in the summer. The views over the Tamar River are spectacular and only 10 minutes from Launceston. We always leave feeling thoroughly spoilt. We will definitely stay... More
