Platypus Waters is A+ in location, hospitality, amenities, actually it was just fantastic all round. Easy to find, close to town and with a beautiful river running right behind the property. There was enough breakfast provisions to last us the 4 days we spent there. On our first night we didn't arrive until after night had set in, Laura had turned on the lights and heating for us so it was as comfy as could be. Loved it all. Thanks Laura.

Nothing!

I LOVED staying here! Such a peaceful and beautiful location. The hosts were fantastic and even did a load of laundry for me. I will certainly be staying here again next time I am in the area.

Two nights in retrospect was too short and although I had a glimpse of the Platypus, just not quick enough to get the camera out.

Good selection of provisions and wide choices for Continental breakfast. All the utensils and cooking appliances were there if you wished to have a hot meal including BBQ facilities on the outside deck, which overlooked a small stream, inhabited by at least one Platypus. Very spacious accommodation, large lounge/kitchen area, comfortable Queen size bed in a large bedroom. Spacious shower and the vanity cabinet included the most thoughtful and extensive range of equipment, you may need when traveling. This was also one of the few accommodation facilities that included a night light, extremely important in my opinion for safety.

Easy to find, private and a great location for exploring Stanley and the Tarkine region. Comfortable and well appointed with delicious breakfast provisions. There's also the possibility of seeing a platypus in the creek.

Nothing could be better.

Great range of breakfast options including plunger coffee! Really comfortable bed. Hot water heated quickly for use in kitchen and shower. Smithton proved very interesting and Stanley is always a delight.

The owner Laura greeted us although we arrived in the evening. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed & well fitted out. It is very comfortable and looks onto bushland & a creek with a resident platypus. Lovely tranquil ambience inside & out. There was a small secure lawn for our dog to run around and there was no trouble having him inside. The breakfast was a selection of tasty fruit, bread & cereal. Platypus Waters is ideally located near the excellent tourist office and gateway to the beautiful takayna/Tarkine conservation area.

It is like home away from home. The fridge and cupboards are well stocked. Very spacious. Easy access from car park to entry door.

The view from the private balcony was beautiful. Perfectly peaceful, with sounds of the river flowing beyond the edge of the garden to add a little more relaxation. The bed was very comfortable, and all the amenities were perfect, from the overhead walk in shower to the Chromecast TV with pull out sofa bed, allowing us to chill and watch a movie in comfort. The breakfast selection was great, loved the selection of jams, and lurpak is my favourite. Also a great location if you want to drive up to Stanley for the day, and only an hour's drive to The Edge Of The World, both places I'd recommend visiting for lovely views.

The unit was extremely comfortable and very thoughtfully fitted out with great little touches that made you feel at home. We loved the position of this unit above the river - such a relaxing country view and the balcony to just laze away on taking in all the sites and sounds.

The place had lots of amenities, was clean and attention to detail was good. The fact that we were there for three days allowed us to explore the amenities provided. Plenty of choice for breakfast items.

Platypus Waters sits above Duck River….a very peaceful location. The living space is clean and comfortable with lots of little extras thrown in….device chargers, a decanter of port. The bed is super-comfortable, the shower hot, and Continental Breakfast supplies are provided. We did several trips from the property, out to Marrawah, The Edge of the World, Arthur River and with our host Laura as the guide, up to Woolnorth and Cape Grim. It was absolutely incredible…..loved it. I will definitely recommend Platypus Waters to friends and family.
