Donalea Bed & Breakfast
There are two lavish B&B rooms, Spa and Waterview, or you could opt for the self-contained apartment. Whichever you prefer, there is the privacy of having your own private entrance and the absence of spaces which are shared with the hosts.
With both B&B suites there is a lovely log fire in the guest lounge, itself quite a roomy place to relax in. There is also a television with a DVD player (and a video player as well!), a film library and a separate dining room. In your room you have a queen-size bed that sleeps two (Spa) or a queen-size and a single, sleeping up to three (Waterview), as well as another television, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, electric blankets, a radio-alarm clock, a hair dryer, an iron and an ironing board. Both non-smoking rooms are heated, with Spa having a larger bathroom, a separate powder room, a second toilet and, as you can guess, a spa bath.
If you prefer the apartment at Donalea Bed & Breakfast, there is a queen-size and a double bed, so up to four can stay here, and two bedrooms. You also have access to the guest lounge, and the apartment has its own private balcony and garden. The same amenities that are common to both B&B rooms are included, and also a deep bath, a stereo, a washing machine and the use of an outside clothes line, ceiling fans, and a kitchenette. This is equipped with a microwave oven, a grill, a toaster, a full-size refrigerator, a frying pan and facilities for making tea and coffee.
The breakfast component is a real labour of love, with home-made breads, muffins and jams, as well as fresh fruit, plunger coffee or tea. As for the immediate surroundings, the garden could almost have come straight out of a picture postcard, with a wide variety of flowers, an orchard and a three-metre hedge surrounding it.
All this may make you wish to stay put at Donalea Bed & Breakfast for the entirety of your holiday, but then you would miss the breathtaking Tahune Airwalk, Enchanted Woods, a speedboat trip with Huon Jet, the intriguing Wooden Boat Centre in nearby Franklin, or the many attractions of Hobart, about 45 minutes away by car.
Situated in Castle Forbes Bay, this bed & breakfast is within 9 mi (15 km) of Forest & Heritage Centre, Platypus Walk Trailhead, and Egg Islands Conservation Area. Huon Apple & Heritage Museum and Huon Valley Golf Club are also within 12 mi (20 km).
This smoke-free bed & breakfast features dry cleaning, a library, and tour/ticket assistance. Free WiFi in public areas and free self parking are also provided. Additionally, a garden, barbecue grills, and a picnic area are onsite.
