Great breakfast
Fantastic breakfast, service and location right by Platypus Walk. A great place to stay but our rooms was hot and small with thin walls so we heard snoring from next door all night.

Home-made stewed fruits
The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, but the bathroom had obviously not been used (or cleaned) for a while - resident daddy long-legs spiders and webs present, some dust under the claw-footed bath and quite a dust collection under the bed. However, the towels were changed after our first night and bed made up (unsure whether sheets were changed or not). Cooked breakfast was set but good - poached eggs, toast, mushrooms, tomato, bacon. Home-made stewed fruits were delicious - rhubarb or apple and blackberry. Small/basic selection of cereals - weet-bix, cornflakes + 1 other (just right?).

Cambridge House is a lovely heritage property set in beautiful grounds which go right down to the Kermandie River. If your lucky, like us, you’ll catch a glimpse of the resident platypus. Our room, The Giffen, was spacious, immaculate & spotless. The bed was very comfortable & we slept soundly in this peaceful haven. It is handy to the shops & great restaurants in Geeveston. I recommend ‘The Bank’. Karen & Glen we’re welcoming hosts & the breakfast was hearty & delicious. We look forward to returning to stay here again & highly recommend it as a comfortable stopover.

Relax and support the locals!
Don't get me wrong this was a lovely chance to rest and relax. But the accommodation is a bit tired. Our bathroom was across the hall & wasn't convenient, especially at 3am! Also very small. The furnishings are traditional with the heritage theme, but could use some updating. As with most B&B's it was a bit noisy, you can hear the other people. Glen & Karen cooked a beautiful hot breakfast! Karen was very friendly and helpful too. There is a creek close by with is a lovely walking track. Yes we would stay here again, but ask for a different room next time. One with a bit more space. Pretty cottage, pretty garden.

My friend, with whom I shared a room, and myself highly recommend staying at Cambridge House. I stayed there a couple of years ago so knew I would not be disappointed. Karen and Glen are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious and set you up for the day. The beds are comfortable and the rooms very clean and well laid out. If you are planning on visiting the beautiful Huon Valley this is the home in which to stay and don't forget to check out the platypus playing in the stream which runs alongside their property.

Beautiful Home with Lovely Gardens
This was my first experience in a B&B and I was impressed. The home is gorgeous and the garden is beautiful. We loved seeing the platypus in the river at the bottom of their garden. The owners were warm and friendly. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Breakfast was scrumptious with cereal, toast, jams, and a selection of hot food cooked to order. Our room was comfortable and had a heater and pedestal fan but no airconditioner. We had a fridge and kettle with plenty of teabags and coffee. The bed was lovely with clean crisp sheets and we had a brilliant sleep. The ensuite was great with luxurious Sheridan towels. The shower was excellent with lots of hot water. The location is fantastic and walking distance to the park and platypus river and we also walked to a Turkish restaurant for a nice dinner. The Internet was quite good. We would love to stay here again.

Beautiful period b & b
150 year old establishment with period features. Great breakfast and very comfortable room & bed. Karen was extremely helpful. Platypus in river at bottom of garden a real bonus. Geeveston is a great place to stay close to Hobart, Bruny Island & Tahune Airwalk. Would recommend both to anyone.

We had a lovely two nights here, and were made to feel very welcome. Karen is helpful and friendly, sharing her great local knowledge. The house has loads of character, and the garden tranquil with a beautiful rivulet at the back. The cooked breakfast was delicious. Thanks Karen and Glen.
