My wife and I stayed 2 nights in one of the Waterfront Studios. Quality of the studio and fittings were about the best we found in Australia. We were initially wary of the roadside position, but this proved to be a quiet "backwater", at least in late March. The view, at all times of the day, is spectacular. The owner... More

We stayed in a very nice, clean and new cottage. The view over the bay is extraordinary. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. They have different kinds of cottages. We stayed in one of the two new ones.

The location of the cottages overlooking the bay is fantastic and the verandah was perfect to enjoy the scenery. The studio room has everything that we needed for our stay and was clean and comfortable. A breakfast basket was provided each day (for a small extra cost) with muesli, jams, butter, fruit, yoghurt and fresh bread, just perfect. The owner... More

Stayed 5 nights in the beach house, comfortable, clean, and have everything you need. The big thing is the View, it can be seen from bedroom and living area. Also the location you can walk to any where in Dover ie the Hotel, the Post office Restaurant, super market etc. Service was very good and very friendly, no thing was... More

Arrived in Dover after spending 4 nights at Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park..Dover was peaceful, quiet and a great base to do some exploring of Tassie's treasures in the south. Our accommodation was lovely, modern, comfortable and well equipped . A well needed, stress free break in a beautiful part of Australia...!!

My partner and I stayed at the Beach House for one night in February and had a truly relaxing and memorable time. The scenery is magical, and the log fire and the deck spa (with obligatory glass of wine) just topped it off. The bed was very comfortable, and we had a breakfast bbq the next morning before leaving. Everything... More

Arrived in Dover after two nights in a Tepee in the bush. What first appeared to be a cute little group of cottages on the Dover Bay turned out to be a wonderful experience. We stayed in one of the duplex units on the road. It was clean, quiet and comfortable with all of the comforts a traveler needs. We... More

We stayed in an Oceanview cottage. These cottages are modern and very comfortable with a full kitchen. Since there are few eating out options in the area the kitchen equipment and modern appliances were well used and much appreciated. It is an easy stroll to the waterfront, beach and children's playground and an excellent base for all things to do... More

On our recent trip to Dover we stayed in one of the waterfront studios overlooking the bay. It was very nicely furnished and made a great base for exploring the Southern tip of Tasmania. The studio was immaculate, and a few unexpected extras like free apples were a nice touch. There are a couple of nice places to eat out... More

Spent 2 nights in The Beach House. The view was spectacular - across the bay. The Hot Tub on the deck is very special, being able to sit in this and relax each morning, afternoon and evening. The kitchen provided everything you could think of, with a great local supermarket within walking distance for provisions. Crisp fresh linen, incredibly comfortable... More
