Beautiful location, stunning view from the deck. Enjoyed relaxing at the end of the day in a lovely deep hot bath. Nice and quiet location felt far away from everything but very close to getting into town. Would recommend.

The view was incredible. Annnd that's about it. The map location to get to the property was incorrect so we ended up having to call them to find out where to go, which was a bit frustrating but we got there! The bed was made a bit weird? There was no fitted sheet, or doona cover on the doona, the bed was made with flat sheets only? Felt this was strange and messy option. There was a washing machine and dryer included in the stay, but when we went to use it, found out it was coin operated 3x $2coins for the washer, and $5 for the dryer (I think) but it didn't work, ate our coins anyway, and the property owner/manager was unresponsive when I asked about this. There was a bathtub but no bathwash, shower and two small hotel soap discs. Felt a bit poor on amenities. Would have liked to seen a small bottle of bubble bath or something, or shower gel. I know these are small things but it made the stay feel a bit short of good. They're simple and easy changes to elevate the experience. Probably wouldn't stay again. Did enjoy the wild bunnies, chickens, roosters and guinea fouls, very cute farm animals.

Seymour cottage was nice however, there were a lot of cob webs throughout and a kitchen ceiling light had obviously blown and had been left with an exposed electrical cord hanging from the ceiling. This was very un appealing on arrival. For a property that provides enough beds for a couple and two children, there is only enough living room seating for 3 people. ( 2 seater couch & single arm chair). Felt it was a little impersonnel with no contact other than a text & email as to the location of the key to pick up etc. Overall a nice place grounds were lovely but in need of a freshen up.

There is no communication with the host regardless you need any support no matter what urgency or emergency you may be into. You may try reaching out on fb messenger but they seem to read your messages and choose not to respond.Lack of basic amenities in the property. Dirty ,stained and torn sheets and blankets.so disappointing. I wish Riversdale Estate Cottages reach out and we are happy to provide evidence.

Cottage comfortable, clean linen and oven worked beautifully for the Xmas Ham. Unique French taste in furnishings. Had a quiet small dog who was limited to a lead or inside due to no fencing. Small yard if being pet friendly would have completed our amazing stay on the property.

Very good, more attention/information
My family had a very good stay, cottage is good with a fantastic views out over vineyards. However there aren’t information about the options like dining or tasting or where is the cleaning bags or anything that you need... Nobody isn’t cleaning and carpet is dirty and there were a lot of cobwebs and some animals (flies) that bit my child.

The smell upon entering the room was overpowering to say the least. A floral(ish) type smell that reminded me of Febreeze which was sprayed onto the cushions, bedspreads and bedheads. I had to put everything i could outside on the chairs on the verandah and sleep was almost impossible. We woke with sore throats and headaches. Don't get me started on the rooster, it followed us to our cottage and stood in front of us crowing for almost 40 minutes then woke us right outside the front door. There were a lot of cobwebs. The taps in the kitchen wobbled substantially when used, that's dangerous and needs to be fixed asap. I stayed here a couple of years ago and was very happy, not so much this time around an not sure I'll be back, certainly not if that smell is still being used!!!

There was no heating in the cold bathroom as the heater was faulty. Some rooms were cold as the heaters did not warm well. The location was near the construction site. However I stayed over the weekend so it was alright.

We liked the view & the property was a lovely rural setting and very peaceful. We found the cottage to be disappointing. There were stains on the carpet, the sofa and chair was worn, the bathroom door was broken and would lock you in, there were cobwebs throughout the cottage and the bed spread was stained. There was no information in the cottage regarding the property and what it offered. There was also no tourist information available.

Nice cottage with a nice vineyard view
The cottage was having a nice front facing view of the vineyard. the classical interior of the cottage is nice and it gives you the feeling of staying in those house in early 19th century. It is a very peaceful place as it is situated within the vineyard with the bay at the background.

Cute Cottages in the Vines
Cute cottages with fantastic views out over the vineyards and to the bay beyond. Well equipped kitchen, nicely furnished and spacious cottages only a short stroll from a number of wineries and dining options, including Riversdale Estate itself. We will definitely be staying here again!

We loved the location, space, outlook and bath. We didn't like the dust and mold and cobwebs and filthy carpet and the fact that the cottage was very tired and when that was brought to the Owners attention there was no response/reply or attempt at an apology/service recovery.

Stay at Riversdale Estate Cottages
My family (2+2) and I used Riversdale estate cottages as a base during our first 5 days in Tasmania. Overall a great stay. Fantastic view and ambience, and nice cottage. The cottage could do with a good cleaning though. Also note that 1 bedroom is in the living room. No issue for us but maybe less convenient for others.

Old Homestead - Name says it all!
The house was comfortable and heating was good. The house is indeed old so don't expect a modern residence. We stayed with another family and really only slept at the house. The sites were lovely and hosts were great with contacting us if needed. There are certainly things which could be done to improve the property, but if you're just looking for a bed then this place is fine! Please note: the property has a dinning table which only sits 6 (8 at a real squeeze).

Stunning cottage panoramic views highly recommend
This is an absolute gorgeous stop overlooking the vineyard, lake and mountains. The cottages are stunning, clean and tidy with everything you need for your stay. The bathtub was amazing. The only downfall was the dryer not working in the laundry as it may it hard to dry the washing in the middle of winter and Peter Rabbits garden is overpriced.

what a gem this place is - I've stayed here several times. Comfy clean gorgeous cottage with an amazing deep claw foot bath to ease the aches in my bones from the winter chill. The early morning and late afternoon light are perfect for photo ops.
