The owners definitely went the extra mile in accommodating all our needs PLUS had all of the modern accessories including a coffee machine and mini bar to die for. Well done guys and thanks for having us. Well done. Roger, Jane, Jeff and Andrea

Everything you could want inside unit was very thought of down to the last detail. Great location, great views from inside and your balcony. Aircon, towel warmer, great comfy bed. Netflix already set up. Also extensive minibar. Short walk to dinner or town.

Disgraceful service and pathetic rooms. I booked a romantic getaway with my wife but it was a nightmare. Room was full of rubbish on the floors, TV kept falling off the TV cabinet and fridge could not hold basic items we bought to cook meals and keep other items cold. We went to use the BBQ but it was disgustingly dirty - once we cleaned it we had no utensils to use it so a waste of effort. Hot water only lasts 3-4 minutes.

We really enjoyed our stay here. 2A and 2 teenage boys. Great view from the cottage. Our hosts were very welcoming and had a welcome gift for us to help celebrate New Year’s Eve. Our cottage had lots of added extras that most hotel rooms don’t provide (slippers, binoculars, bbq, shampoo, conditioner etc). Easy driving distance to Hastings Caves, cockle creek and some lovely seaside towns.

Rooms are disgusting and service is non existent. Spend your money elseware as this is not a place you want to subject yourself to. I made a booking that was not honoured by the new owners. New owners are rude, stuck up main landers with an ambition to only make money and scam Tasmanians and tourists alike. Be careful as they will get more and more money from you at any chance. Room pics attached are what I would expect from a ran down motor hotel. Old, mouldy, warn and not clean. Soap leaks all over the bench and floor causing a slip/fall incident. Screws sticking out from walls, not working lights, mould everywhere. Tiny TV not viewable or controlable from bed or couch (blocked by sound bar that doesn't work) combined with a tiny and uncomfortable lounge setup means you can't relax at night. No heat pump or good heating/cooling options. Not self contained as fridge full of only bar items you can not move or get charged for to put your own food in. Parking is dangerous and hard to get in and out while they park their Jeep and Mercades on easier ground. Don't ruin your holiday by staying here and receiving harassing messages like I did.

Couldn’t recommend this place more!! The recently renovated cabins were perfectly situated on Port Esperence, couldn’t be closer to the water. Gary was a fantastic host, providing us warm towels on arrival which were scented with their own unique Driftwood scent. The attention to detail in the cabins were thoroughly enjoyed by myself and 3 friends. From the robes, to the slippers, to the freshly squeezed orange juice maker. Very sad to have only been able to stay 1 night, but hope to visit again in the future. To add, one of us had left a few belongings and Gary offered to post them at no extra cost. A very kind gesture and just an extra layer of the hospitable nature we experienced at Driftwood.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location and water views were fantastic. The accommodation was modern, comfortable, clean. A welcoming gift and lots of luxury items made it a wonderful experience. We wish you both all the best with your refurbishment plans. Selamat tengah hari Gary and Peter

Great location overlooking the Bay. The Unit had every convenience and a full kitchen. Just recently renovated and looks great. The Owners are on-site and provided excellent service. Had an issue trying to get the right temperature in the shower but that was a very minor concern considering all the good points.
