The Rivulet was a WONDERFUL surprise. The hotel and room mixed old world charm with modern technology. We were greeted with complimentary port wine and fine chocolates. Then each morning breakfast was an amazing assortment of food and drink, served by helpful staff.
If and when we return to Tasmania, we will stay there again!

Great location and excellent breakfast to start your day!
Andrew
Very comfortable, beautiful property.
Suzanne
When we arrived just after 5pm our room already had the heater (air conditioner) on so the room was lovely and warm and the radio was on quietly which was a nice touch and made us feel welcome. Our room was decorated beautifully and looked very opulent. There was an iron and ironing board in the wardrobe. The bathroom was modern and included a separate bath and rain shower. The towels were lovely and fluffy and toiletries were beautiful.
We loved breakfast, it was advertised as continental but far exceeded our expectations. It included quiche, cold meats, fruits, cereals and yoghurt. Cathy was very efficient and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
After a day out in the winter weather, it was great to come in to a glass of complimentary port and chocolates.
We loved our stay at The Rivulet and would totally recommend this charming old house with its beautiful decor and plush furnishings. The oriental lillies smelt gorgeous as you walked in the entrance.
It's the little touches that make this hotel 2nd to none.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

It’s a cute small B&B but not luxury like the listing suggests. Small issues like standoffish staff, getting locked out of the building because of a lock malfunction and my room had an intense chlorine smell.
Kathryn
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though situated in a main road there was no trafic sounds at all in fact it totally quiet for our stay and breakfast was exellent.
Connor
Amazing location, amazing layout and a beautiful room. Absolute luxury. Breakfast was well beyond the price of admission and divine. Cannot rate The Rivulet high enough

Complimentary port outstanding. Amazing breakfast. Scullery well equipped for eating in did the evenings. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Hobart
Anne
We loved our short stay at the Rivulet and our room was spacious, well appointed and with a luxurious extra wide bed.
We were aware of a shower running in another room but overall we had a very comfortable stay.
The grounds and the amenities and on-site parking were also much appreciated.
Very well located on Sandy Bay Road with a bus stop almost at the door.
Robert and Kathy both helped us have an enjoyable break in Hobart.
Definitely recommend, we will certainly be back.

Wonderful!

Great stay
Bruce
The Rivulet is located on busy Sandy Bay Road, which makes getting into and out of the property a litte tricky. It is conveniently located to the Salamanca Market, which we were able to walk to (30-40 minutes) and also to the Bruny Island boat tour pick-up location. Sandy Bay Road has lots of shops within easy walking distance (Coles and Woolworth). We especially enjoyed one of the bakery shops where we purchased meat pies and cherry tarts.
Breakfast provided a good selection of options, with coffee and tea, quiche, fresh fruits, breads, and cold cuts.

Convenient
Easy check-in using a code with key in box on foyer table, accompanied with information in an envelope. Room La Perouse, ground floor. Lots of light from the windows that wrapped around two walls. One outlook was over the driveway and to the oval beyond. The back windows overlook driveway to the garden beyond. Spacious long bathroom. Excellent shower pressure. Separate bath.
King size bed, electric blankets, king size bottom pillow and lovely bed linen. Breakfast is around a long oval ended dining table. Choice of three juices, kept cold by sitting in a basin filled with ice. Yoghurt, fresh fruits, nuts and seeds at one table. On the dresser top there were cold meats and cheeses accompanied with pots of two mustards. There was a tray of quiche slices and tray of different breads and croissants. On the table we’re individual servings of butter and jams. Pots of tea and coffee were brought to individuals upon request.
The Rivulet is directly across from the Derwent River and the Wrestpoint Casino. Short drive or walk to Sandy Bay shopping district or into Hobart City.

Very well presented room, spacious with huge bathroom including a bath and some goodies offered.
Only reason not 5 stars is because housekeeping missed areas of dust and a few other things not quite right with the room, ie light switch broken, noisy bathroom fan and one electric blanket control did not work.
Very nice breakfast, but we are not fans of 'en famille' dining.

The only place we’d stay in Hobart… fantastic breakfast, plunger coffee, complimentary port and a beautiful age setting and no children to boot. We couldn’t ask for better.
Jackie
Robert is such a fine manager of this establishment.
We can’t fault our stays here. The most beautiful breakfast included, a cut above anywhere you would stay and a lovely half hour walk to Salamanca shops and surrounds!

Beautifully presented. Obliging staff, especially Cathy. Quiet inside despite being on a very busy road. The chocolates, cookies and port were delicious!

Stunning setting to dine with your fellow guests for a superb breakfast. Port to sip on for some quiet time with a book… beautiful rooms. What more could a person want?

We stayed in the Waratah cottage. So beautiful inside and out. Beautifully furnished. Very cosy and comfortable. Lovely little touches. A very enjoyable stay.
Bonus was a beautiful walk in robe/ dressing room to unpack all your luggage without all the clutter in your room.

Amazing place and outstanding service. The place is beautiful: elegant colonial building and the beautifully furnished rooms. We spent 4 nights at the spacious regatta suite. Breakfast was excellent and Denise was very kind - it was nice to dine together with the other guests and chat.
The only downsides are that the place is located on a busy road across from a gas station. Yet, once you are inside you cannot hear that.

The Rivulet is a beautiful property right across from the harbor, The rooms and common areas are beautifully decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious!
Soly
One of the best boutique hotel I’ve stayed in with a big bath tub ! Very satisfied!! Would highly recommend.
Ilona
Our room on the 2nd floor was great, very clean and comfortable. The building itself is heritage and as you enter it there’s a distinct musty smell. We didn’t have this problem in our room, but our windows were completely fogged every morning. Breakfast was good. Overall, a pleasant experience.
Steven

This is one of the best places we’ve stayed in. We weren’t in the main house but were in the Watarah Cottage at the back of the back of the property. This building was free standing so was incredibly quiet. The kitchen was really well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and there was a whole separate dressing room to store luggage and other stuff. The breakfast in the main house was great…excellent service from Kathy!
I highly recommend this place and would stay again if in Hobart.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivulet, Sandy Bay. Within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and close enough to drive to Battery Point and Salamanca. The Corinna room and bathroom are beautifully designed and furnished. The continental breakfast was sensational!
