Overall Ratings & Reviews Riversdale Estate Cottages

Lovely little cottage with a deep claw foot bath. Felt a little neglected, especially with cobwebs hanging over the double bed. Stainless steel items needed a proper cleaning agent used on them. No proper parking space for our car near cabin. These things apart we enjoyed our two nights here.

Lovely views and accommodation decor. Close to tourist attractions.

The decor and the effect put into the design was excellent. The view excellent and the ambiance of the cottage and surrounding area. All beautiful. Would highly recommend

Interior decor charming & very comfortable. However verandah & its furniture were shabby. Some soiling by birds/ chickens?

Location was great, great scenery and night sky was amazing. Wendy was an excellent host and responsive. Ian provided wonderful wine tasting experience.

This is the best place we have stayed in so far on our 2 month visit.

An enjoyable stay. Beautiful surroundings and peaceful location. Very comfortable big bed. Close to Hobart, airport and gorgeous Richmond. Would have loved a small milk to make a coffee upon arrival. An information booklet listing the closest supermarket, medical facility and dining options would be useful to someone that has never visited the area.

Cottage on a beautiful vineyard. So peaceful & quiet save for our chicken friends. Clean, spacious, full kitchen to cook. Laundry is coin laundry, so come prepared. No WiFi, but they do not advertise having it. Would stay again.

Quiet, comfortable and relaxing. Well equipped country cottage.

The key to the Villa was not under the mat as advised in email and someone else was staying in that Villa anyway. Walked down to the cellar door to get a number for the Contact person as we did not receive a SMS. We were advised to choose another villa to stay in. This took about an hour of our time after arriving from a long day travelling. Needed to empty the dishwasher on arrival. Beautiful setting with wonderful views. Spacious & comfortable. We would stay again.

Lovely location, spacious accommodation and instructions for late arrival (9.30pm) were easy to follow. Parking options were unclear and we did a couple of loops around in the dark before parking on the verge opposite our cottage. Once inside we discovered flat batteries in the aircon remote and frozen milk in the fridge. A bit disappointing as we were cold & tired on arrival and a warming tea/coffee would have been lovely. Started the aircon manually. Other than those initial inconveniences we enjoyed our stay.

Convenient for our requirements

The cottages are lovely, very comfortable bed and well set up. It would be really good in the winter months for a heater to be on for arrival - it was freezing cold on arrival and the heater took a long time to warm things up, not too welcoming. There was lots of tea, coffee & sugar but no milk and it's a long way late at night to drive out to find some, given there is no reception. The cottage was very comfortable and clean, but looks like the cleaner forgot the shower which needed a good scrub and the chandelier that had a lot of cobwebs. We were sent an update text message to say the original email regarding which cottage we were assigned to was incorrect, and that the key would be under the mat of a different cottage - which we assumed was not right, and the key was in fact under the mat of our cottage. Overall, the accommodation was beautiful, close to Richmond and had a beautiful outlook over the vineyard. Despite one or two small things, we would definitely recommend.

Awesome location and very quiet place to stay.

Great location and very quiet

Riversdale Cottage was a picturesque location, set amongst the vineyards overlooking the lake, it was very comfortable and cosy, a beautiful place to stay. Unfortunately though a family of rosters woke us every morning, sometimes as early as 4.45am. If you are a morning person then this place is definitely for you. The advantage of being waken so early is you can enjoy the gorgeous morning sunrises. The only other negative was there was no hairdryer.

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.

The view was stunning, the unit was delightful, in a lovely setting all fitting our need for quiet privacy. It did though present difficulty communicating with the management when a small but annoying problem arose
