Stay in a welcoming private home hosted by a local with extensive knowledge of the area. This three-bedroom home offers either a comfortable Queen Room or a Twin Room with two single beds (subject to availability). You'll have your own private bedroom while sharing the kitchen, bathroom, lounge, dining area, and outdoor spaces with your host and, at times, other guests.
Relax in the spacious lounge and dining area, prepare simple meals in the well-equipped kitchen, or unwind on the large outdoor deck complete with a BBQ and fire pit.
The home is in a quiet location just a short walk from Mersey Bluff, its iconic lighthouse, beaches, cafés, and scenic coastal walking tracks. Follow the waterfront trail to the Don River Railway or into Devonport's CBD, or watch the Spirit of Tasmania arrive and depart nearby.
As a local sightseeing tour operator, I'm always happy to share insider tips, recommend places to visit, and help you make the most of your stay in North West Tasmania.
Hi, I'm John, and welcome!
I've been living in Tasmania for over 16 years and absolutely love sharing this beautiful part of the world with visitors. As a local sightseeing tour operator, I enjoy helping guests discover the best of North West Tasmania, from hidden gems and scenic drives to great cafés, wineries, and walking trails.
This is my home, and I offer one or two private guest rooms while I'm here. Occasionally, when I'm travelling, the entire house is available for guests to enjoy.
Travel is one of my greatest passions. I've explored much of Australia and have been fortunate to visit destinations including Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Cuba. I always enjoy hearing about other people's adventures and exchanging travel stories.
During your stay
I'm usually home in the evenings and am happy to chat, offer local recommendations, or help you plan your time in the region. If you prefer your own space and privacy, that's absolutely respected too—I'm happy to let you enjoy your stay at your own pace.
Welcome to the gateway to Tasmania and home of the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. Devonport is a great base for exploring the North West Coast and beyond, including Cradle Mountain and surrounding national parks, all within a scenic drive.
Situated on the Mersey River, Devonport is a vibrant and fast-growing regional city. The ongoing Living City development continues to enhance the riverfront precinct and CBD, including upgrades associated with the new Spirit of Tasmania terminal, expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
Getting around
The property is within easy walking distance to the CBD, shops, cafés, Mersey Bluff, beaches, and scenic waterfront walking tracks.
A local bus service also runs nearby, with Routes 170 and 171 operating from the CBD bus interchange on Rooke Street, passing close to the property.
