Platypus Park Country Retreat

We were warmly greeted by the owner and given a lovely tour of the property. We loved the location close to town, stores and restraunts. Beautiful beaches close by with lovely walking trails. Would definitely stay again. Best way to book is through the owner/operator website.

Nice large suite and close to town

Lovely quiet spot out of town. We even saw the platypus in the creek!

Pipers was a wonderful 2 bedroom accommodation with a full kitchen and extremely comfortable lounge room and dining room. It was a corner outlook towards a dam which if you were lucky could have platypus in it. The owners were most kind and helpful and this all added up to a perfect stay just a couple of km out of Bridport itself but felt a country retreat.

Both ******* and the property need to talk to each other - on the ******* site it advised that I had booked a 2 bedroom apartment but on getting to the property it was 1 room with us all in together - 1 queen bed and a foldout sofa. We were fine with this but I can well imagine a lot of disappointed customers turning up to this situation - please rectify this immediately!

Supposed to be peaceful - but thundering trucks passing by at high speed before dawn on Monday and Tuesday morning spoilt the effect. Owner had very shaky Wifi and was reluctant (grumpy) to reboot it so was unable to connect for the four days we stayed. Kitchen lacking in reasonable utensils. Had advised that one adult was gluten free but owner denied this until I produced paperwork to prove otherwise. So although it was breakfast supplied that only applied to one of our party. I had to go out and buy my own. Then two days into our stay GF muslie appears. Too little too late.

The room smelt badly of stale cigarette smoke, the flyscreens were broken and consequently mosquitoes entered the room and the hot water pressure was so low that having a shower was very difficult. To top it off the noise from heavy vehicles on the adjacent highway made it difficult to get any sleep at all. The worst accommodation I have ever visited.

I am a regular visitor to Tasmania. This is a great property with clean country cottage style accommodation. The pool table was handy for Teenagers. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Great place for the whole family to catch up for the weekend.
