    Nice older home on the edge of town. Dining area with view of mountain and forest, chiminea ready for our use in backyard. Loved that it’s a working tiny farm with barn, garden, sheep and chooks!

    The host is a very warm and engaging gentleman who greatly adds to the overall experience. The home is in a few acres of land with sheep and good views out the back. The room was a good size and the bed very comfortable.

    Top notch in every way. Spotless, comfortable room. Friendly, considerate and generous host (the breakfast was truly and traditionally big, wholesome and delicious). One of the best B&Bs I have experienced in Australia. Highly recommended.

We’ve been in Dover for 10 years and have spent that time customising our farmhouse into a modern and comfortable bed & breakfast guest house. Delicious breakfast provisions are sourced locally with many ingredients grown or produced on the property. We're simultaneously proud and humbled to announce that in 2019 we were judged by our peers in the Tourism Industry to be the best Bed & Breakfast in Australia having been awarded the Gold Medal in the Hosted Accommodation category in the Australian Tourism Awards. We hope you come and visit and enjoy our hospitality.
Sadly neither of us can lay claim to being a Dover local, however we have both travelled widely throughout Australia and overseas as well as lived abroad and we have chosen Dover above all other places visited in which to put down roots.
A scenic 70 minute drive through the Huon Valley and you arrive at the township of Dover, set between Adamson’s Peak and Port Esperance Bay; Dover is ideally situated as a base for exploring the attractions of the Huon Trail and Far South Tasmania.
