We only stayed for one night but we had a wonderful stay and can’t fault our experience. The facilities were beautiful and the food was delicious. We liked the little extra touches of the fire place and library. View from our balcony was amazing. I can definitely recommend staying and eating here.

Our room and bed were great, the staff and service was also fantastic. We had spent the day driving and were able to relax and have a nice hot shower. Only issue we had was the toilet water flow kept running a couple of times and was a little difficult to stop - we notified reception. The breakfast was delicious!

Absolutely stunning property. The rooms very amazing and so were the facilities. A glass of wine by the open fire was never too much trouble for the staff here. Breakfast was yummy each day we were there.

Villa Howden is a beautiful place that in a idyllic location on the water. The rooms and decor are lovely, albeit needing a little maintenance in paint and cracks on walls. The biggest let down was the service and restaurant. I don’t expect to be waited on but, staff just weren’t around. The breakfast was appalling….. TipTop bread for toast, packaged condiments, in a place like Tasmania that prides itself on local produce . Had to ask , once I actually found someone to top up the coffee pot . The “locally sourced oysters” were second rate. Such a shame as the villa is beautiful but sadly the service and food does not do it justice. A disappointing start to a 60th Birthday surprise holiday.

The service was amazing, the staff was always there to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very polite and friendly. Location was perfect as well, such a quiet little spot, but yet so close to everything. Definitely would love to stay back here again in the future.

Beware the beautiful photos and promised amenities posted on the Villa Howden site. The villa in reality is understaffed, under furnished and overall, underwhelming. Upon request our room was changed - who needs a bathroom with a plastic shower curtain, no place for the poor quality 'cosmetics' and no power point? A disappointing experience.

I didn’t get the room that I was booked - the on advertised with photos was totally different from what they gave me. The room was just next to the public toilet of the hotel. The bathroom in the room was a nursing home bathroom and no very clean. I talked about this to the lady on the front desk, she talked to the manager and they said they can not help, even though when we showed to them the website were they advertised the Villa Suit room that has nothing to do with what they gave to us. Therefore, we did the check out and went to another hotel. Another thing, the food is pricey and not good at all. Not a five stars hotel standard at all.
