Thank you Marianne & Bruce for your wonderful hospitality and brekkie. You’ve perfected the B & B experience. Beautiful place for those who need to retreat! We loved the little touches-the duck in the spa was a giggle! Wish we could have stayed longer. Your vision for Bed in the Treetops will surely succeed. Hope to see you again one day.

Binalong Bay Beach

Bruce & Marianne, you have truly made this place feel like a “Home away from Home”. The beautiful art and especially the lavender sprigs added so much to our stay. Like all those who have written before us, we too wish that our stay here could have been longer. Many thanks from both of us.

What a great place! It’s our first nights stay in Tasmania and we couldn’t ask for any more. A beautiful location, incredible views, all the ‘home’ comforts and two of the friendliest people (plus one of the friendliest dogs!) you could ever wish to meet.

Thanks for a most wonderful & memorable stay-and see you again soon.
Gal & Heidi (Leeds, UK)

We are glad to end our journey in this lovely place! Good memories to draw on. Celebrate life (& 40 years together for us). We take warm memories of good people and a good time in a wonderful site. Thank you. The best of good cheer and good health from us.
Marion & Jerry, (Maryland, USA)

Magnificent location, stunning views, and absolutely fantastic accommodation. Not to mention the great service & hospitality that goes the extra step to ensure that our stay was very special & memorable. Thank you for a fantastic night & morning (with a delicious breakfast) & hopefully one day soon we will return to stay at the best ‘B & B’ in Australia, should be ‘10’ star rating.
Chris & Nicole (Melbourne, VIC)

A beautiful place & wonderful hospitality! Laura’s second visit; my first visit. We’ll be back!
John & Laura (San Francisco, USA)

This is Honeymoon heaven. Thank you Bruce & Marianne. From the breathtaking view, fluffy towels, comfy bed, yummy brekkie & genuine hospitality – we both agree that this is one of the best B & B’s ever.
Annie & Martin, (Hobart, TAS)

Bruce & Marianne, thank you for your warm and generous hospitality. As far as B & B’s go this is the best, 15 stars! We will be back some day, and will recommend you to our friends. Best Wishes,
Darren & Samantha (Sydney, NSW)

By far, the best B & B that we have ever stayed at! Whether it be for recommending a fantastic restaurant for dinner, a personal lift to dinner, or just great hospitality. Thank you for making our stay in Tassie so enjoyable.
Chelsea & Andrew (Nunawading, VIC)

Hilltop Heaven! Heaven in the Trees. Below, the beckoning curve & waters of the bay & beach. A wonderful, but all too short stay in this so relaxing & delightful ‘Inn in the Trees’, combined with the sincerity, warmth & affection of hosts Bruce & Marianne was, for us, an experience always to be cherished. They have made their vision a rewarding reality. May it continue and be shared by many! All the best wishes,
Tom & Rachael (Mosman, NSW)

The most beautiful view, with the most beautiful hosts. What more could you ask for? Crystal blue skies, great food, lovely surrounds and a spa for two – a recipe for intimacy & relaxation. Congratulations to Bruce & Marianne for making the big ‘sea-change’ and creating such a special haven in this lovely corner of Tasmania.
Jenni & Norm, (Parkdale, VIC)

These “Treetops” are half way to heaven! Thanks
Sander & Benedicte (Belgium)

Thank you for a little piece of heaven in the Treetops, a marvellous retreat & one so superbly comfortable and the food is ‘out of this world’. See you again
Pamela & Mike (Holland Park W, QLD)

Thank you for a very relaxing break. After a beautiful breakfast, a morning’s fishing, an afternoon walk on the pristine beach, we both fell asleep in the spa – how’s that for relaxed?!
Paula & Scot, (Blackman’s Bay, QLD)

Marianne & Bruce: You well deserve all the praise & commendations which have been recorded here over the past two years. Your attention to detail is most impressive. Thank you for your hospitality.
Tim & Mary (Sassafras, VIC)

Unique environment, spectacular views, friendly hosts…‘Bed in the Treetops’ has something for everyone, where bush meets beach ‘A Showcase for Nature’. We cannot rate our stay highly enough-we felt spoilt with the hospitality & surroundings. We’ll certainly be spreading the word regarding this best kept secret. Thanks to Marianne, Bruce & Meisje. We shall return! (& next time we’ll stay longer).
Danielle & Michael (Langwarrin, VIC)

The best in our 2 week holiday in Treasure Island. Many thanks
Lou & Marie (Tarago, NSW).

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. The gorgeous room & fantastic views completed our magical Wedding Day. We will have to come back to celebrate our 1st anniversary.
Melanie & Paul (Reservoir, VIC)

Effortless, seamless, wonderful hospitality in spectacular surroundings. Keep doing what you’re doing…you do it so well.
Sheryl, (Avalon, NSW)

It’s rare to feel immediately connected across national & cultural background differences. We treasure the brief time spent here in this rare way. As a couple, and as individuals you have made us feel like old friends. It truly goes beyond a business, what you have created here. Write your own book – stories & recipes. Visit us any time in the United States. May your lives and your family’s’ be long & joyful.
Laura & Jim (Oaklands, California, USA)

Thank you Marianne & Bruce for the best accommodation experience so far in Tassie (given we only have 2 nights left, you are highly unlikely to be toppled). The food, service, atmosphere & conversation were superb, look forward to seeing you again-do you allow portable cots?
David & Tracey (Richmond, VIC)

Thank you both for sharing this beautiful slice of heaven with us. Words can’t express beauty of “Bed in the Treetops” and the two lovely people that created this perfect place.
Julie & Norma, (Bundalong, VIC)

Marianne & Bruce, thank you so much for your warm hospitality. Felt more like we were staying with friends! Beautiful views, great food, everything so clean & comfortable! May your future be bright and beautiful. Keep on dreaming and may they ALL come true!
Curtin & Maureen (Bowral, NSW)

Dear Bruce & Marianne. What a magnificent part of the world. Well spotted! Thank you for your hospitality and good advice re diving. We slept like logs (after a long spa) and were woken to a truly magnificent breakfast, complete with spectacular views.
Barbara & Florian, (Elphinstone, VIC)
