Amazing Altona.
Altona Gardens are amazing, so beautiful and well kept. You can feel the owner's love for their property in every hidden nook and flower patch. Very relaxing to be surrounded by greenery. The unit is spacious and tidy with everything you need for a comfortable getaway.

Perfect garden sanctuary
Thank you so much for our lovely short stay. The gardens were even more beautiful than the photos and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. It was a perfect base for our exploration though I would have been equally happy just staying at Altona

Stunning Garden Retreat
The property was neat and comfortable and suited our requirement of two double rooms. It is in a quiet country setting but only a short drive to many north coast tourist attractions. The hosts were very welcoming and invited us enjoy and explore the stunning gardens, where there are a number of tables and seats to enjoy the view across the dams, watch the birds and listen to the frogs. They were generous with their time if you were interested in hearing about the development of the expansive gardens but also happy to leave you to enjoy your stay uninterrupted. We could easily have stayed longer.

VERY GOOD
We have no complaints accommodation was clean and tidy on arrival really first class. The gardens and surrounds are really exceptional we really enjoyed watching the rabbits, birds and paddy mellons(little kangaroos)each morning.(and lambs next door) The property is located in a quite semi rural location and is pretty much as safe as you could ask for We had no dramas leaving our windows open all day. The hosts Colin and fay are most accommodating and very easy going. Thanks for the raspberries col we had them the next day with a bit of cream,,,,just perfect. Really much nicer than staying in a hotel we cooked toast and did some basic meals over the six day we were there the kitchen is fully equipped. Thanks Colin and Fay we enjoyed our stay .

Very clean, well-equipped and comfortable stay at Altona, with enjoyable gardens. Loved being able to BBQ and eat under cover even in the pouring rain! Close to Devonport for eating out, and exploring local sights like Mt Roland and Tasmazia. Teens appreciated the wifi...

Very comfortable villa set in magnificent gardens
We absolutely loved our stay at Altona. The villa is very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts are delightul and the gardens are stunning, even in the middle of Winter. We plan to return to stay in Spring and Autumn and visit the nearby Tasmanian Arboretum, which is not to be missed.

A simple, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a beautiful garden and a good location. We found meals at the golf club to be delicious and the French restaurant called Camille in Devonport to be very special.

A comfortable granny flat in a beautiful setting only a short trip from town
Colin was easy to deal with and was within easy reach of a number of local attractions. With awesome garden settings the granny flat was far enough from the road that you never heard the traffic.
