    beautifully styled rooms
    difficult wifi connection

    A relaxing stay with charming hosts

    The rooms were beautifully styled, and breakfast felt personal at the communal dining table. We enjoyed delightful conversations with fellow travelers over delicious continental options.

    WiFi was a challenge to connect to, which made streaming difficult. Additionally, the location was somewhat far from downtown Hobart, requiring a car for easy access.

    spacious layout
    comfortable bedding
    noise disturbance

    The Deluxe King Suite, Cygnet offers a spacious layout that feels welcoming. The bedding is comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep.

    On the downside, the shower running upstairs creates noise disturbances for those on the bottom floor. The soap in the dispenser lacks foam, making it feel inadequate for a proper wash, and there was no moisturizer provided after the shower. With only two coat hangers for two guests over a week, it put a damper on our stay as we had to spend time searching for more.

    Honest review

    This historic property exudes charm and offers impeccable comfort. My Superior King Suite was adorned with stunning period furnishings and featured a superb bed for a flawless night’s rest.

    elegant room
    breakfast variety
    noticeable noise

    great stay but minor noise issues

    The room was elegantly designed and impeccably clean, providing a peaceful retreat. I appreciated the well-stocked free parking and the ease of check-in. Breakfast featured a delightful variety of options, including fresh local pastries that truly impressed me. The serene river view from the garden added a lovely touch, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day.

    There were times when noise from upstairs was noticeable.

    spacious suite
    communicative guests
    delightful breakfast
    upstairs noise

    The Rivulet Bed & Breakfast is an absolute gem. I stayed in the Deluxe King Suite, Cygnet, which was spacious and ideally designed with luxury touches. The communal dining area boasts a large table where breakfast consisted of a delightful spread of cold cuts, pastries, and fresh fruit. Meeting fellow guests over morning coffee was truly enjoyable, and the well-maintained garden provided a beautiful spot to unwind.

    Noise from upstairs.

    charming decor
    inviting garden
    road noise
    minor drawback

    Charming heritage decor adds character, making the stay feel unique, while the inviting garden space is perfect for relaxation. Morning Continental breakfast provided a delightful social setting with various delicious choices. A minor drawback was road noise at times, but it didn’t overshadow the positive experience.

    stunning views
    generous breakfast
    maintenance issues
    missing amenities
    wifi challenges

    The Superior King Suite featured lovely period furniture that added character, complemented by two spacious wrap-around balconies with stunning views of the marina. Breakfast was generous, showcasing local sourdough toast and offering a nice selection, though the absence of yogurt and some inconsistencies in coffee availability stood out. Unfortunately, the room had some maintenance issues, such as missing amenities and signs of wear, which detracted from the overall experience, and the WiFi connectivity posed a challenge at times.

    old-world charm
    fantastic shower

    wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

    The Superior King Suite was stunning! It had a lovely old-world charm with all the modern amenities. The bed was super comfy and probably the best I've slept on. The spacious bathroom had great toiletries and a fantastic shower. Breakfast was a blast at the big dining table with other guests, perfect way to start the day.
