Dover is a delightful little town in the far south of Tasmania which we used as a base to explore even further south. Ashdowns of Dover was the perfect place to stay while we explored.
Gary is an experienced traveller, and has used that experience to become an excellent host. The property has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated, with the needs of travellers of all abilities in mind.
Each room is well laid out, with a very comfortable bed (a good nights sleep is such a blessing when travelling). The rooms include a mini bar with wine and nibblies which is a special touch.
Another special touch is in the dining room. A bureau displays a selection of home made jams, using fruit grown on the property, and also contains a range of items a traveller might need but may not have on hand, bandaid, pain relief, etc. These are available to guests for a small donation to cover replacement.
Breakfast is scrumptious and filling, and Gary is an accommodating and solicitous host.
Even more special features include the fire pit each evening, and ‘the hidesway’ down near the creek.
There is so much on offer at this wonderful b&b that I could have a relaxing short break almost without leaving the property.
