The property presents as historic and elegant. The gardens, maintained by host Peter, are immaculate. Several espaliered apple trees still have fruit on them, in winter. We were greeted by Peter and Georgia, who had asked about our arrival time so they might bake fresh bread (which indeed they did). Both were warm, informal and happy to chat for a few minutes. As promised they gave us some information about local attractions and eateries. The property offers several beautifully furnished suites. Ours was a bit different because it had been occupied by resident nuns in the past: plainly furnished, utilitarian, focused more on function than aesthetic appeal. This was something of a drawback but we selected it because it had an oven and stove. It was immaculately clean throughout. There were two two-seater couches, one in the kitchen and the other in the tv nook. Sadly, both were worn out and very uncomfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, with a good-sized fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Table and 4 chairs. Also supplied by our thoughtful hosts were cooking oil, salt and pepper, Gladwrap and foil. The welcome package consisted of bacon and eggs, butter, jam, biscuits and cheese, milk and juice. They even left a gift of walnuts from their own tree! The bed was a double, which was okay, but the timber foot made it uncomfortable for me at six foot two. Despite these minor faults it was a pleasure to stay here, and I recommend it.

Thank you so much Georgia & Peter for your local tips & all the lovely extras including the warm home made bread. We had a fabulous stay. Birgit & Justin

Clean and cosy.

Very friendly hosts provided keys and welcome package, then showed us to our room which was spotless, comfortable and tidy.

Lovely welcoming hosts, great location!

Georgia and Peter are wonderful hosts. Our room was so comfortable and included everything you'd need for self catering. Loved the freshly baked bread and loose leaf tea. An easy walk into town. Deloraine Espresso makes the best coffee and we enjoyed our meals at The Empire Hotel.

Great property, owners excellent. Only downside was the unit had too much furniture, and too many nicknacks

The hosts were absolutely beautiful. Their consideration to their guests was very appreciated. Beautiful time spent there.

Blakes Manor is beautiful and well maintained. However the hosts were absolutely awesome. I would recommend Blakes Manor to everyone.

Wonderful heritage decor & thoughtfully set up for the comfort of guests.

Firstly communication from owners Georgia and Peter was exceptional. The property location is perfect being a short walk to top of main St and in a beautiful tree lined street. And the ambiance and facilities magnificent, we loved the history and charm with all the facilities needed including nice welcome and generous breakfast to prepare in your room as needed. We stayed 2 nights 3-4th may in the Gannon's family suite. Would not hesitate to stay again

Peter and Georgia work very hard at being excellent hosts.

A warm welcome from the owners. The owners also provided details of places of interest to see and do.

Like stepping into another time. The furniture was mostly antique, good kitchen, beautiful garden, lovely quiet town. Big supermarket 5 mins walk, large laundromat just round the corner, pub and food shops in easy walking distance. Georgia and Peter went out of their way to make our stay pleasant, provided some food and groceries to get us started and delicious home baked bread, along with lots of info about the area. The location is beautiful, in town but surrounded by mountains and woodlands. Truly lovely people and a totally enjoyable stay.

Wonderful hospitality

Owners were generous with walking, seeing and dining suggestions.

Everything about our stay was perfect. Georgia and Peter are wonderful hosts who are a credit to Tasmanian and Australian hospitality industry. Our room was extremely comfortable and very well appointed. We have no hrs in recommending this property and hope to visit again!
