This was our second stay in Tasmania. The first was excellent and then we arrived at Platypus Waters and found this was excellent also. The bonus might have been to see a Platypus but unfortunately that did not occur. The previous occupants the day before our arrival did see one and filmed it so we were unlucky. The accommodation is well equipped, furnished, provisioned, clean and comfortable with that lovely view over the Duck River. So well recommended and thank you Laura and Mark for offering such a delightful unit.

Nothing!

We loved everything about our 2 night stay at Platypus Waters. The level of comfort, cleanliness, and attention to detail were the best we have experienced in our travels. We especially loved the privacy and beautiful outlook to the river. The new recliner seating was greatly appreciated, as were the generous breakfast provisions. Thank you so much Laura for your welcome and excellent communication regarding our booking. We'll be recommending to family & friends!

Good selection of provisions and wide choices for Continental breakfast. All the utensils and cooking appliances were there if you wished to have a hot meal including BBQ facilities on the outside deck, which overlooked a small stream, inhabited by at least one Platypus. Very spacious accommodation, large lounge/kitchen area, comfortable Queen size bed in a large bedroom. Spacious shower and the vanity cabinet included the most thoughtful and extensive range of equipment, you may need when traveling. This was also one of the few accommodation facilities that included a night light, extremely important in my opinion for safety.

Two nights in retrospect was too short and although I had a glimpse of the Platypus, just not quick enough to get the camera out.

The view from the private balcony was beautiful. Perfectly peaceful, with sounds of the river flowing beyond the edge of the garden to add a little more relaxation. The bed was very comfortable, and all the amenities were perfect, from the overhead walk in shower to the Chromecast TV with pull out sofa bed, allowing us to chill and watch a movie in comfort. The breakfast selection was great, loved the selection of jams, and lurpak is my favourite. Also a great location if you want to drive up to Stanley for the day, and only an hour's drive to The Edge Of The World, both places I'd recommend visiting for lovely views.

Perfect location to explore Smithton & Stanley. Host Laura was super friendly & even provided us with a lovely surprise of cold bubbles as we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Our little dog Evie was made welcome so that gets our vote every time. With a very well stocked fridge & pantry you could stay put & just enjoy watching the ducks & platypus in the river at the bottom of the garden.

Nothing it was perfect.

The owner Laura greeted us although we arrived in the evening. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed & well fitted out. It is very comfortable and looks onto bushland & a creek with a resident platypus. Lovely tranquil ambience inside & out. There was a small secure lawn for our dog to run around and there was no trouble having him inside. The breakfast was a selection of tasty fruit, bread & cereal. Platypus Waters is ideally located near the excellent tourist office and gateway to the beautiful takayna/Tarkine conservation area.

Platypus Waters is A+ in location, hospitality, amenities, actually it was just fantastic all round. Easy to find, close to town and with a beautiful river running right behind the property. There was enough breakfast provisions to last us the 4 days we spent there. On our first night we didn't arrive until after night had set in, Laura had turned on the lights and heating for us so it was as comfy as could be. Loved it all. Thanks Laura.

Some accommodations are adequately outfitted. Some are well equipped. But Platypus Waters was EXCEPTIONALLY well outfitted. Everything a visitor could hope for was provided. If we had known how wonderful it would have been we would have booked for more than just the two nights.

I honestly cannot think of a single thing that we did not like. This place was our ideal of a B&B. Full marks to Laura and Mark for thinking of everything.

The host was lovely and very welcoming. The self-contained unit had everything you need plus more, they supplied food, drinks and condiments. The little stream out the back was great to sit and relax and unwind. I would stay there again if I'm in Smithton.

There really wasn't anything we didn't like.

Fully stocked fridge and cupboards with all the basics and enough to make a good breakfast. Bread milk butter cereal jam yogurt fruit toaster etc. Chromecast on TV and electric Jason recliners. View over river and close to town and best place to eat

No ice cube tray for G&T 😉
