Group of 11 stayed for 10 nights. Highly recommend.
5.0
We took three generations of family and spouses spread across 5 bedrooms and two floors for a milestone birthday celebration. Our small children delighted in the orchard, trampoline, gardens and toys and books provided. Grown ups enjoyed the many rooms and outdoor spaces with aspect to the beautiful garden and, of course, the river. The house is very well fitted out and comfortable. A second bike would be a useful addition so a couple could ride along the river.

A real Gem
What a wonderful home with everything you could ever need for a home away from home experience. Spacious and every comfort you could need with unbelievable views. Peta-Jane couldn’t have been more welcoming with her easy going flexible communication approach. We would definitely recommend Derwent River villa to anyone looking for a home from home stay.

This is a dream house!
“This is a dream house! Immaculate, comfortable and full of light. It was an absolute privilege to be there. Stunning view of the Derwent River (your back yard) and of Mt Wellington. The house provides numerous spaces in which to meet and also to retreat! There is veranda facing the river which is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day - I could go on and on! I will be back, but next time with a removalist van because I will be unpacking my house in order to move into this one!”
