“Character, Ambiance - All you could ask.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2011

people found this review helpful

We have just returned from a trip to Australia where we visited Sydney and then Richmond in Tasmania, and what a find Mrs Currie's in Richmond turned out to be! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome by the owners Patrick and Marilyn. Their obvious love of the house and its history was infectious and brought the whole building to life. We were shown round all the rooms and were booked into "The Cottage" which had such a warm and comfortable feel and character by the bucket load - and our own bathroom as well equipped as any hotel facility would be. In the morning we were treated to a first class breakfast - thank you Marilyn - and served with charm and ease by Patrick. Loved the music! As for Richmond itself, it is simply a beautiful village with places of real historical interest and charming people happy to share their local knowledge with you. If you have the opportunity to visit, you will not be disappointed and can only hope you enjoy Mrs Currie's as much as we did.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2010

person found this review helpful

We have just returned from an 8 week trip of Australia and New Zealand and this is the worst accomodation we stayed in. After reading the reviews we thought we were in for something special. The owner gave us a great speech about the history of the place and then showed us our room.
We chose Iris Room because it was the only one that advertised a Queen bed as we don't like a double bed.The room was up 2 flights of stairs and was very small and dark but the bathroom was unbelievable. I have seen bigger bathrooms in a caravan!!!. It had a sliding door off the bedroom and there was just enough room to stand at the wash basin without falling down the toilet. The shower was very tiny and built like a portable one. To say that this was an en suite was a joke!!
The whole place was in need of refurbishing. To say Mrs. Currie's House offers "unique traditional accomodation". It is certainly unique when it comes to the bathroom!!!!
The saving grace was the company of the other guests and a very good breakfast.

We have considered these comments very carefully. Couple of points. There is only one flight of stairs (it is only a double story building). We measured the room, it is slightly over 4 metres by 4 metres, we think a fair size for a bedroom built in 1855, easily takes the queen bed plus other furniture. Room has a full sized window which overlooks the English garden and the village. The whole place was redecorated just over two years ago. The bathroom is not large but we believe the statements in the reveiw are similarly unfair and exaggerated.

“Still lovely, well hosted”

We can confirm that the rating is still high after the previous rating posted in 2008. Well maintained and in keeping with the era of its origin.

“Gorgeous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2008

I loved this place, I loved our room, the owners were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious.
It has been two years since I stayed at Mrs Curries and everytime I think of Tassi, I think of Mrs Curries and Richmond, my favourite place by far. What a beautiful little town.

  • Liked — Quaint old building and made true to its era!
  • Disliked — It was all perfect
