    John was a great host. His house is easy to find and close to everything. I borrowed a bike from him and rode the local bike path, Don to Devonport in the wind and rain. It was still enjoyable though. Also enjoyed a night out in Ulverstone with...

    John was the best host ever! His home is well located, a 10 minute walk to the lighthouse and beaches. Easy, flat walk into Devonport CBD. We felt very welcomed, enjoyed the outside area, comfortable bed, fluffy white towels and nice hot shower.

    Beds were warm and comfy, John was a friendly host with lots of local knowledge and was kind enough to collect us from the ferry terminal when we arrived.

    John was a gracious host and made us feel at home. The room was comfortable, the kitchen very clean and the backyard deck large and welcoming. Would definitely stay again when I get a chance 🙂

Stay in a private home. I have a 3 bedroom house and offer 1 or 2 bedrooms in my home, you normally can choose either a double room with queen bed, or a twin room with 2 single beds. You will have your own bedroom and share the rest of the house with me and possibly another guest. with huge lounge dinning area, basic kitchen with cooking facilities, great out door deck with BBQ and fire pot. Situated close to Mersey Bluff with light house and walking trail either to Don River Railway or into the CBD along the water front. Very happy to share my knowledge of the local area and sightseeing options.
Hi All, I have lived in Tassie now for over 12 years and in the past I worked in another part of Tassie and did not get home to my escape as often as I would like, hence the idea of listing this little patch for others to experience. I have had to return to my home, but still offer a room in my house to share with others. When I’m away I offer the entire home, this is where I live. I love travels, both local and overseas, I have family over the eastern seaboard of Australia which is always a good excuse to travel to those parts. My most recent o/s trip was to Europe where I visited Croatia, Italy, France and Spain, on previous trips I had the chance to visit Mexico and Cuba, which I loved to death. During your stay I am around most evening's and happy to socialize, or if you prefer there is space to be on your own.
Welcome to the gate way to Tasmania. Home to the Spirit of Tasmania, Great location to base yourself and explore, situated on the Mersey River and within short drive to many tourist locations including Cradle Mt, and the North West Coast. Devonport is a vibrant city that is growing rapidly with the soon to be completed Living City Project that will see the development of the river frontage and opening of a new international Hotel. Getting around Only walking distance to the shops and CBD, Mersey Bluff and a great walkway along the water front. The local Bus service goes past the front door, Route number 170, 171 from the CBD Bus Stop in Rooke St.
