We stayed at the River House while traveling around the north east of Tasmania and so far it has been the highlight of our trip. Beautiful accommodation and outlook over the river, all the extra details and thoughtful inclusions you would expect from a far more expensive establishment. Carl is a wonderful host, warm, friendly and welcoming without being in... More

We stayed at the River House at the beginning of our stay, and it was so welcoming, convenient to Launceston airport, etc. we stayed again before flying home. Carl is an excellent host, the perfect mix of knowledgeable, helpful, obliging, and at the same time respectful to the utmost of our privacy. The rooms were beautifully appointed, spotless, ergonomically and... More

We were on a quick trip to Launceston to collect our new Devon Rex kitten. I saw The River House on Tripadvisor ,and booked. What a find.We had worked all day, caught a flight from Melbourne to Launceston,we were on the tarmac longer than in the air. Picked up the hire car and arrived at The River House about 7.00pm.Loved... More

This B&B had everything. From Carl's wonderful hospitality to the well appointed room with a wonderful view of the river just a few feet outside our door. The River House had everything we could ask for. The new bathroom was beautiful and had a huge spa bath, shower, underfloor heating and heated towel racks. The breakfasts were lovely and on... More

What more can we add to all the other reviews? This is a specially beautiful location, high on the hill overlooking the river Tamar. Carl is the most welcoming host, kind efficient and considerate with fabulous knowledge of Tasmania in general. We chose the platter of food for dinner instead of heading off to a restaurant, as this was the... More

Excellent accommodation at this b&b but after eating out every night we really appreciated the opportunity to stay in and cook our own bbq. The host offered to provide a salad and everything else needed to eat in (sauces , dressings etc) and we shopped for the meat and anything else we wanted. Lovely environment to eat outside on a...

We spent two delightful days with Carl & Helen – mainly because of reviews we had seen on Trip Advisor – and we were certainly not disappointed. We stopped in the very private Gardenview Studio – extremely roomy and light, and private. The bathroom was particularly amazing, with very welcome under-floor heating and a huge double shower. There was also... More

All the excellent reviews are right! This is an amazingly great B&B, spotlessly clean and tidy everywhere with excellent and varied breakfasts, a comfortable communal sitting room as well as the very generous in size bedrooms with sitting areas. We enjoyed our delicious breakfast outside under a roofed area and heater, overlooking the views of the Tamar River. Carl and... More

This property is definitely one of the best B&B at which I stayed during my two weeks in Tasmania. The location is peaceful and scenic. The back of the house faces the Tamar River which makes it a very pleasant place to drink a glass of wine or enjoy the view. I stayed in the room facing the other side.... More
