Guests comment:
We have arrived back home from a most wonderful fortnight travelling around Tasmania. I really wanted to write to you and thank you for your wonderful hospitality - but more than that to let you know my family and I think you have the best accommodation in Tassie. We stayed in 10 different locations and none of them even came close to Platypus Country Retreat - all accommodation was ranked 4 - 4.5 stars. We think yours is 10 stars. The rooms were welcoming, clean, fresh and such a welcome rest after a day exploring and travelling (I especially loved the beautiful clean bathroom and spa). The kids loved being able to explore your paddocks and were delighted by your chooks, ducks and lovely cat. Thanks once again - and when (not if) we are back in Tassie we will definitely look you up again.

Cheers Karen

"Stop searching you've found the best. We drove into Bridport looked all around at the options and decided to try the one we first saw as we came into town. Wish we had done that half an hour ago! This is the best accommodation Bridport has to offer. So peaceful and quiet, excellent value for money, family friendly but would be great to come without the children, the people were friendly and welcoming. We were wondering how far up the gravel road we would have to go but were surprised that it was really only a couple of minutes back into the town centre."

Your very own double spa cottage or family unit awaits on a 40 acre property, just two minutes from the superb beaches, shops, and restaurants of Briport. Relax and unwind on the sunny verandahs, take a stroll down to the dams or Brid river where you might spot a platypus. Come and see the spring bulbs in full bloom August/September.
This is Bridport's only eco friendly accommodation
