Impressed by the cleanliness of the unit and friendly check in. Great location and within walking distance of a restaurant and RSL club for meals. Breakfast hamper was welcome and more than sufficient for 2 people. Will certainly come back again.

What an absolute gem of a place. So private, the perfect hideaway for a couple trying to get away from it all. Just idyllic. The little touches meant a lot. Cd's, movies, candles, cards, games. We had the most wonderful time away from it all and can't wait to return .Swans, dolphins, ducks, geese. too beautiful. A little bit of... More

These cottages are beautifully sited overlooking the water. The decor is a bit dated and the bed (one of our four critical "must pass" criteria for a good stay) was too hard. Check in was quick and friendly and check out was seamless.

glad you enjoyed our lovely location and sorry that you found the bed a little hard! Not sure which cottage you stayed in- the beds in our studios are all new and 4 star quality. We are continually upgrading our cottages so I trust that when you return to Driftwood you will enjoy our updated furnishings...and the same wonderful views! More

I booked this accommodation following the reviews here on tripadvisor. We spent 2 nights in the studio room overlooking the water, beautiful views. The unserviced room was very clean and tidy, a good size room and bathroom. The furbishings gave me the feel of a regional motor inn, with a laminate picture and exposed brick with tongue and groove wall.

We spent 3 nights at Esperance Landing (at Brooks Bay) with friends and what a lovely house this is. This is a new house (only 6 months old) overlooking the Huon Channel to the north of Dover. The facilities and fixtures in this house are first rate, full sized LCD screen in the lounge room and all the mod-cons (even... More

Pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Esperance Landing...the landscaping is almost complete now! Good access to the watefront is on the agenda...but in the meantime we hope the gorgeous views over the Huon will suffice! More

We stayed 2 nights in Blackwood Waterfront Studio accommodation and it was perfect! The view over Esperance Bay was exactly as shown on the website. The loan of the fishing rod meant that my partner finally caught some fish! Accommodation clean and comfortable. Dover is simply beautiful and I highly recommend Driftwood Cottages. Rachel was very professional and also very... More

We stayed at tides reach cottage right on the water at Dover. Beautifully furnished and top spot to sit and enjoy the view and tranquility. Highly recommended and very reasonable nightly rate. Local supermarket can supply food or there is one nice restaurant in town.

We have just recently returned from a few days in Tassie pottering around the Huon Valley which is such a lovely destination in itself. After some research on tripadvisor I discovered 'Tides Reach' c/o Driftwood Cottages in Dover which we promptly booked to avoid missing out.
