Well situated. The 'comfy' (aka soft) couch and bed did not suit us.

We appreciate your comments, The queen size bed is a superior comfortable but still supporting bed, especially constructed for our ongoing accommodation business.The pull out couch bed is never sold as a bed, but occasionly used for a child or an over flow extra person. apartment recomended for a couple or a single person.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to so much
Owners went out of their way to ensure our short stay was comfortable and the accommodation was easy walking distance to the lighthouse and restaurants. We left our small backpack in our room and the owners brought it to the ferry terminal at 7am, I rang them at 6.30am. No hesitation in helping us out. Highly recommend

Stay @ Birchwood on the River
We arrived at the Birchwood on the River to be greeted by Smiling and happy owner of the Birchwood on the River. Rex showed us through the holiday unit, way beyond our expectation. The Holiday Unit was setup in a way it felt like it was home away from home. The Holiday unit was clean fully furnished with excellent appointments, very close to town centre. Rex was very knowledgeable of the area, recommending of sites to visit. Very happy 10 out of 10 will definitely recommend family and friends to stay there. Will be booking our next holiday to stay at the Birchwood on the River. Thank you Rex for accommodating us and ensuring we were comfortable.

Pleasant Stay
We found our accommodation to be warm and friendly and our hosts could not do enough to make us feel welcome. They informed us of what to do in the local area and suggested places to eat. The rooms were very clean and we had all we needed to cater for ourselves. Our host even offered helpful advice on driving in the wintry conditions on Tasmania's roads. A very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to book it again.

At Home across the Water
The accommodation was very comfortable. All facilities were first rate and the feeling was very homey. Great setting with a garden room that emphasised the personal touches of the owners. Felt very much at home. Travelling from Sydney it was so nice to have this style of accommodation greeting us in Tassie.

Best accommodation in Devonport
Rex the host is very friendly and helpful, offering travel tips and eat-out information. The room is a gem - tidy, clean, silent, spacious, and decorated as a piece of art. Well looked-after garden outside. Our first choice to stay in Devonport.

Friendly & welcoming
Fantastic experience. Very friendly & welcoming owner, and beautiful dog who loved greeting us in the lovely garden. We stayed in the Riverview apartment, it was spacious & had everything we needed as a young family. Other members of our family stayed in the garden view suite, it was very comfortable & had everything they needed. The view was spectacular - you're literally across the road from the beach/river, so you get gorgeous views and can watch the Spirit of Tasmania and cargo ships cruise past.

convenience and comfort in Devonport
We made a last minute booking and had to arrive late. Our host was most accommodating and helpful in settling us in. Our room was spacious, clean and beds most comfortable. It is in a very convenient position opposite the river front and was really well appointed for self-contained living. We also appreciated the free Wi-Fi!

Very pleasant and roomy self contained unit set in beautifully manicured garden in a residential area. Cross the road to a lovely walk way along the inlet/river a few minutes to town or the other way to great beach facilities, coffee shop and Restaurnant at the Surf Club.

Very comfortable but access difficult
We enjoyed our two night stay. It was a very nicely appointed apartment in very easy to find location. Access was difficult for the older generation but once we were there it fitted us very well. It was big and nicely appointed to give it real character. Our luggage had to be taken from the front of the property to the back, fortunately the weather was good. We then had to take it up narrow stairs. The proximity of the owners house and flats next door made it not very private, and limited use of the large windows. Charges were top of the market but charges were made to Use the laundry. This and lots of signs what could and couldn't be done,like saving electricity were in bad taste.

A lovely welcoming place to stay, a short stroll to the town centre and we felt much welcomed by Rex, Julieanne and Beau the dog. If you want quiet accommodation and enjoy not sharing your space with staff and guests running all over the place, this is it.

Quiet and relaxing stay in Devonport
We had 3 nights at the Burke Cottage, it is roomy and very homely, beds are comfortable, quiet neighbourhood allowing a very good nights sleep, kitchen is new and very functional, WiFi to the cottage is weak, but more than compensated for by its location and well kept gardens.
