The Cottage

The cottage will charm you with unique features including stained glass windows, a spiral staircase and exposed timber beams, with thoughtful renovations adding modern comforts to the cosy setting. Enter via a light-soaked sunroom which spans the length of the property, within which is a locally-crafted Tasmanian myrtle dining ensemble for six which affords each guest a view of the rose trees and surrounding yard and gardens. At the end of the sunroom is a private primary suite containing a king bed, sitting room, and full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms in the loft offer two single beds apiece. Back on the ground floor, the spacious lounge features a four-metre bench seat beneath stained glass windows, across from which are comfy armchairs, bookshelves, and a wood-burning fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen and adjacent half bath complete the open living area. The mudbrick cottage sits amongst a private, bird-filled yard and garden. We invite you to use the generous lawn for stargazing, flower-picking, picnicking and chatting by the fire.

The Church image

The Church

The church retains a rich history - a significance you feel as soon as you walk through the arched double doors - making it perfect for guests who want to immerse themselves in a rejuvenating space that is wholly and authentically Tasmanian. The heritage-listed bluestone building contains striking architectural features throughout including intricate stained-glass windows, a high vaulted ceiling with massive beams, and beautifully restored hardwood floors. First opened as a religious building in 1879, the church has been through many lives since being deconsecrated in the 1960s, including serving as a wool museum, gallery, coworking space, and even a cafe before being thoughtfully converted into a residence for all to appreciate. The church accommodates up to five guests. The mezzanine bedroom sleeps three, with both a queen bed and single bed available, while the vestibule on the ground floor sleeps an additional two guests in bunks. The large sanctuary is set up in several zones which flow one to the next, including a dining space, gaming area, lounge, and work station. Beneath the mezzanine is a fully-equipped kitchen, full bath, and half bath. An outdoor courtyard complete with firepit and outdoor seating is also available for your private use.
