We loved our stay at Donalea. Second time there and it won't be our last. Attention to detail is first class. Breakfast was really well catered. Homemade preserves & breads, stewed fruits, yoghurt and a variety of cereals. Nothing too much trouble. Comfy bed, a view to wake up to and beautiful garden to roam. Can't rate high enough. Don and Leanne fabulous hosts.
Amazing accommodation tucked away in a country atmosphere with water views. The accommodation was large with a seperate bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and loungeroom making the living space very comfortable. Although close to the road it was exremely quiet and serence. Very lean and well equipped accommodation. Highly recommend.
Very nice unit, clean and cosy. The unit was very cold when we arrived in rain and after a long drive, it took a good 2-3 hour to warm up the entire unit, no heating in both rooms but the electric blanket was sufficient. A heater would be an improvement in the bathroom. All in all a good place especially for family.
Terrific B & B, host's were very welcoming. Had the 2 bedroom suite, very cosy, beds were comfortable. Breakfast was nice with cereals, yogurts, fruit, toast, milk, etc. Heating worked very well during the cold period we had. All in all, a great location to discover the Huon district.
We had a lovely stay at Donalea bed and breakfast. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Very comfortable room. Lounge room had a great supply of DVDs and books and Don had the fire going for us. Breakfast was great with fresh berries
We booked at the last moment and weren’t really sure what we were getting but very pleasantly surprised, a lovely country cottage feeling with nice views of the garden and river. Everything you could want in the kitchen, big bathroom and comfortable lounge room. The beds were comfortable and best of all they had electric blankets.
The hosts were very friendly and warm while their breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The garden was also very inviting and well presented. We also found the residence was conveniently located.
It was like a home away from home. Comfortable and roomy. The property is like a botanical garden. My wife and I wished we could have spent more time to explore the property. The hosts Leanne and Don couldn’t have done anymore to welcome guests. Also the breakfast is something you need to try for yourself, even down to the home baked breads 👍
Best b&b we have stayed in on our many trips to Tasmanian,Don and Leanne are the perfect hosts ,going well above what was expected of them to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible,this is our second stay there and won’t be our last

Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The property was homely and welcoming. The choice of food was fantastic. It was convenient to local attractions.
Amazing place. Wonderful hospitality, great facilities and attention to detail. Little extras were a lovely touch. As a person with a background in hospitality, it was wonderful to experience the same commitment to excellence that tried to deliver.
