Tamar Island Wetlands Centre and Reserve

Just 10 minutes from Launceston CBD, opposite Tamar Island Wetlands, this cozy escape is surrounded by native bush, beautiful garden, and wildlife, boasting an outdoor spa with a fire pit and cedar sauna—set against breathtaking views. Inside features bespoke handcrafted furnishings and decors, with a focus on solid native timber that exudes warmth and character. Jaclyn Studio is a labour of love, filled with natural textures & quality amenities for your relaxation, recreation, and revitalization. Bathed in abundant natural light and nestled within a private rock garden, this exquisite open-plan space is thoughtfully designed to seamlessly blend style and functionality. Situated just a stone's throw away from the main house on the 3-acre property of native bush and meticulous gardens. More than just accommodation, we aim to curate a slow-stay experience that nurtures mindfulness, connection, and an appreciation for the present moment. We extend an invitation for you to break away from the fast-paced routines and fully immerse yourself in the essence of this temporary abode. As such, there is no television in the studio, but we have views out every window/door and everywhere you go. The design of the studio showcases the richness of local timber. Adorned with an eclectic collection of treasures, bespoke furniture, beautiful books, and luxurious French flax linens, it's the perfect retreat for both couples and small families.

Overlooking the beautiful kanamaluka/Tamar River near Launceston, The River Studio is a recently built, comfortable and stylish retreat. Our property is off grid, powered by the sun and surrounded by one of the last tracts of natural bushland close to the city. We are located just 10 minutes from Launceston, where the iconic Tamar Valley Wine Route begins and the unique Tamar Island Wetlands are one of the most popular visitor attractions in Northern Tasmania. The River Studio is a one-room, open plan space with superb mountain, water and bushland views. It's been thoughtfully designed with our guests' needs specifically in mind. The bedroom area has a king bed with soft, pure linen sheets, a cosy doona and a selection of pillows. The ensuite bathroom is attractive and practical, and includes quality, natural products. Locally made arm chairs provide a lovely spot to read, relax, watch TV and enjoy the restful surroundings. Large picture windows not only frame the views but ensure that the studio is filled with light. The well-equipped kitchen includes a MoccaMaster coffee maker - our great coffee will give you a perfect start to your day! A dining bench overlooks the garden and an outdoor deck with a table and chairs is an ideal place to enjoy a Tamar Valley wine as the sun goes down.
