We're located only fifteen minutes drive from Launceston and thirty minutes drive from the airport, overlooking the Tamar River in the heart of the Tamar Valley Wine Region. Our home overlooks the tourist route through the valley, which is used for both recreational and cycling clubs.
Surrounded by vineyards and farm land, yet only a three minute drive takes you to our local shopping-centre with supermarket, cafe's, take-away's etc... We have choice of four pubs all within a ten minute drive, including the Swiss Village pub at Grindelwald and our local, built in 1831 at Rosevears, which also houses a fabulous bakery.
Our home reflects our easy-going lifestyle and is decorated with our travel experiences. We're fortunate to enjoy an amazing view of the abundant birdlife on the river all year round from our living area and front balcony. We've recently completed a renovation at the back of our home, including entry through a glass sliding door where there is now a small sitting room, bathroom, two bedrooms and laundry. Opening the door into the main part of our home takes you down the wide hallway (the main bedroom/ensuite and a fourth bedroom, which is currently not used as part of the swap, are off this hallway) leading you into the open-plan living/dining area and kitchen. We have two reverse-cycle air-conditioners that operate all winter, keeping our entire home cozy and comfortable throughout the cooler months.
The main bedroom has a king size bed, the other two have queen size beds and electric blankets, with spare blankets, pillows, linen, etc... in the robes of the third bedroom.
We have a lovely garden to stroll through and a variety of espalier fruit trees and vegetable gardens to enjoy. Our purpose built gymnasium is at the front of our property and contains a rowing machine, bench press, squat rack, free weights etc... During the warmer months the front balcony is equipped with comfortable outdoor furniture and we also have a single kayak available as well as golf clubs, bags, buggies etc.. Tasmania has seventy-five golf courses, dozens within an hours drive from our home!
Tasmania has a land mass of 64,500 km2 with a population of only half a million, making it a rare place indeed! There are direct daily flights to Launceston from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, with daily departures on board the Spirit of Tasmania from Port Melbourne to Devonport (an hours drive away). We truly are unbelievably spoilt living on this island, with beaches, snowfields, wine/food trails and the most picturesque sceneries within easy access!
Our home may not be suitable for small children, due to the balcony and in warmer months we ask you to water the pot plants.
We expect you to leave our home as you find it as we will yours, whether it be simultaneous, non-sim or points.
