The Grand On Macfie

We had the most wonderful stay! Paul and Brendan the hosts, were absolutely lovely, so welcoming and attentive. The hotel itself is stunning, filled with exquisite furniture and beautiful antiques, all styled so eloquently. Their taste is simply impeccable. Our room was very comfortable and wonderfully decorated. The location perfect, close to the town centre yet very quiet. And the breakfasts... truly the best I wish we could of stayed longer.

You will be welcomed and shown to your beautiful room. Hosts are warm and nothing is too much trouble. |Breakfast in the dining room was excellent as was the decoration and setting. |Quality furnishings and fittings, you step back in time in The Grand on Macfie. |Paul and Brenden are rightly proud owners. Do yourself a favour and stay to see for yourself.

What a gorgeous bnb. We got lost (gps fail) and arrived horribly late. Paul was so understanding and helpful. This kind of hospitality is rarely found in this day and age! The hotel itself is absolutely charming and immaculate. Our room was amazing. Breakfast, divine. Hope our travels bring us back again one day. Thank you Paul.

This is the whole package in accomadation. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the beds are comfortable , the linen crisp white and spotlessly clean and bathroom immaculate. Breakfast is a pethora of choices, finger licking good. Juice and coffee top it off. Location, easy walking distance to the shops. The hosts make this place special, engaging and lots of advise on local attractions. Will be back to try the high tea.

We found the Grand because the owner Paul responded to my question about places for breakfast after leaving the Spirit of Tasmania. |What a wonderful introduction to historic Tasmania. Paul and Brendan have lovingly restored this lovely heritage guest house to the splendour of its heyday and we felt like we were dining at Downton Abbey. |Our hosts were super attentive and told as about the history of the house and we got to see some of the beautiful rooms. |Breakfast was a full cooked delight with the best coffee I’ve ever had. |Will definitely be back for a few nights of pampering by these wonderful hosts.

Stunning property with so many small details that make up a beautiful place to stay. The hosts are lovely and ready to help with any little question. We had two young kids and they were so accomadting, food was outstanding could not fault a single thing.

We booked through booking.com|The home is a refurbished 1800,s I chose this accommodation for its heritage beauty. The owners Paul and Brendan were most hospitable welcoming us with warmth.||The room left us a little confused as we had a large 4 poster bed and two single beds the were unnecessary, the facilities were questionable . If you wanted a coffee or tea you had to enter the bathroom.

Heritage listed. Quiet location. Relaxed atmosphere. Close to everything. Very homely feel. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable owners. Would definitely stay again.

First off, the two guys who run this gorgeous B & B in Devonport, in the north of Tasmania, are so warm and welcoming, it's almost like staying at your fave uncles' home. There are cellophane bags of homemade shortbread biscuits when you check in. Nice touch!! Super delicious! The property is a two-storey old mansion, chock full of antiques, collectibles and beautiful paintings. Our upstairs room was very romantic and spacious, with a four poster king-sized bed and a separate bathroom with shower & mini-bar fridge. We only stayed for one night and our host told us that he usually directs guests to a restaurant called "Mrs. Jones" but unfortunately it is not open on Mondays... so the next best bet was a pub down by the dock where we could watch the Ferry come in that eve. The place was bustling and the food was off the charts good!! If that was the second-best place in town... then - wow. Slow-cooked lamb shoulder feast was to die for. Back to the B & B to kick back after dinner. Wrap-around upstairs balcony was the perfect place to hang out and watch a lightning storm while sipping a glass of whiskey. We headed off to Cradle Mtn the next day for NYE at Peppers (also fantastic!) Meanwhile, I had realised that I had forgotten to pack a (much-needed) belt for the dress I had been planning to wear that eve... I took a chance and asked our gracious hosts if it might be possible for them to give me a small length of black cord or fabric that I could use as an impromptu belt? Not a problem! Turns out that one of the guys is apparently fairly talented with a sewing machine. He proceeded to whip me up a BELT -- carefully stitched, hemmed and nicely finished. Within 12 minutes - no exaggeration. I was speechless with gratitude. I cannot recommend The Grand on Macfie highly enough - for its outstanding hospitality and comfort. Oh, did I forget to mention the 5-star homemade breakfast that's included with the room rate? Eggs Benedict with perfectly runny yolks and rich, homemade hollandaise sauce -- in fact, pretty well anything your heart desires can be prepared to order. Divine espresso, too. Definitely a highlight of our memorable trip to Tassie. I'm still dreaming about those shortbread cookies... Thank you, guys!! BIG LOVE xox

Wow, my wife and I love period houses and this property scores big with both of us. Built in the 1890's and immaculately presented inside and out with great views. The two gentlemen that run this business love this building and it shows in the quality of the renovations and the tasteful period decorations and furnishings. The warm welcome and the genuineness of both Paul and Brendon make your stay like your visiting with your favourite relatives and their knowledge of the history of the property is an added bonus. Breakfast is served in the dining room which like the rest of the property is immaculately presented and the selection and size of the servings are generous, not to mention also delicious. There is a communal lounge with plump leather lounge and chair where guests can sit and read or chat with a nice glass of port or sherry. If you in Devonport for business or pleasure you must stay here. You won't regret it.
