Many people stay at Arendon Cottage for the convenience of being close to Launceston, the regional centre for Northern Tasmania. Within easy walking distance of coffee shops, bakery, pubs and all manner of village stores and galleries. If you visit on a Sunday a short stroll to the end of the street you will be delighted to find the Evandale village market; one of the best in the state. During the months of February and March, the village comes alive with the National Penny-farthing Championships, Village Fair and the internationally acclaimed Glover Art Awards. Some of the regions’ big events.
