The Hillview House is a wonderful place to stay with plenty of character. The room was very comfortable and well-appointed, and our host was wonderful. The breakfasts were fantastic. We would highly recommend this B&B accomodation again.

The host Sandra gave us an extremely warm welcome upon our arrival and provided helpful advice for touring Launceston and Tasmania. The deluxe room is very nice but the twin room is on the small side and is also slightly dark. Definitely worth it to pay slight more for the deluxe room. Sandra and Robin cooked up a great hot...

Great place, awesome hosts and very reasonably priced! Sandra and Robin looked after us really well, gave us plenty of advice and cooked us a great home cooked breakfast (which was included!). They even bumped us up to the deluxe room because it was free at no extra charge. They were more than happy to give us plenty of advice... More

We chose this place because of the great reviews. Our first impressions were not great, the proprietors had stuck a key in the envelope with our name and room number written on it sticky taped to the front door, at 3 in the afternoon. Not a very nice greeting! Found our room, room 3 and the first thing I noticed... More

Lovely old National Trust rated home with great attention to detail. Our room had such pretty wallpaper, lamps, little bits of old china etc. Our hostess made us feel very welcome, and the atmosphere in the dining room was so homely and friendly. There was a full home cooked breakfast included too. The location is perfect for walking into town... More

Reading some of these reviews, I think that I stayed at a different place. The location was great, with easy access to town.  The owners were extremely pleasant and knowledgable of what to do in and around the area. However, the rooms needed a good, thorough clean. The accommodation was very tired, and in dire need of a complete refurb.... More

Great location high up on the hill. Nice quaint rooms clean and tidy, ours was really quiet, had the best nights sleep. Breakfast room relaxing and hosts very accommodating. Breakfast delicious with all you could want for a B&B cooked or uncooked your choice. Would liked to have stayed longer. Thank you for running a professional establishment.

We had a pretty room in this character filled old house. Although there wasn't a view behind the lace curtains we were very happy with our quaint room which even included a staircase to access our own bathroom which was down half a level. Breakfast is held in a colorful room overlooking the city - great breakfast delivered with a... More

Thank you for your review, the room you stayed in was once access to the Reverends house (next door) hence the stairs to the ensuite. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. More
