Your Hosts

Leanne and Ross Alexander are your hosts at The Bears Went Over The Mountain Boutique accommodation. Hailing from Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, it was a cool alpine change for this couple and their young family, when they moved to southern Tasmania in late 2013.

Attracted to the region’s vibrant natural beauty, tranquility and the quality of life this country community offered their young son Cooper, Leanne and Ross are invested in the future of the property and Geeveston.

They bring a wealth of tourism, hospitality and customer service experience with them. They’re passionate about providing guests with first class customer service, comfortable accommodation and quality meals and refreshments in the licensed coffee lounge. Leanne and Ross welcome you to The Bears.

“Welcome to The Bears Went Over The Mountain, one of Geeveston’s best accommodation houses, conveniently located on the main street and providing the perfect base to explore the Huon Trail and all of its natural beauty and attractions.

We visited Tasmania regularly before moving here. So as tourists-come-locals, we’re happy to share our experiences and advice on the best things to see and do in southern Tasmania. We love the scenery and sense of community here: this is just somewhere that kept calling us back.

We’re excited to have taken over The Bears and have been busy making improvements across the property, including new beds and linen, quality toiletries and a revamped, licensed coffee lounge. We treat our customers as valued guests. We welcome you to The Bears and hope you enjoy your stay with us.”

Leanne and Ross are available 24-hours a day (in an emergency) and live on-site. They can be contacted on phone (03) 6297 0110.
