The perfect romantic getaway or escape with family & friends! This 1890 historic highland cottage is located just 5 mins easy walk from the famous Weldborough Pub.

Surrounded by world class hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, fishing, golf, stargazing, platypus watching & sapphires in the Weld River this is your perfect adventure getaway.

Come home from your day to a blazing wood fire & spend the evening telling stories, planning your next adventure then snuggle into your fresh cozy beds.

The space
The perfect break with your partner, friends or the family a cozy home to snuggle up & listen to the birdsong, gaze at the stars, read a book, play some games & completely unwind. Close to the pub with live music & quiet too if you fancy an early night!

Spend your valuable holiday close to what you love with plenty of activities including hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, gem hunting, trout fishing & the gateway to the Bay of Fires is just 40 minutes drive down the road at St Helen’s a perfect day trip.

We also have a secret waterfall not far from the house and also almost guaranteed platypus sighting near by, just ask for details when you book ❤️

Guest access
Full access to the house & yard. There is plenty of room for an RV & a huge grassed area where the kids can kick a ball or have a game of cricket. Top up the batteries or have a proper hot shower. Great for a couple of days "off the road" to recharge on your Tasmanian Adventure.

Other things to note
Keep an eye out for Eddie the Echidna & Wally the Wombat, our local residents often snuffling about on the property. Remember to look up - there are often wedge tailed eagles soaring in the sky above and the yellow tailed black cockatoos float in every evening to feed in the local trees. We are also regularly frequented by possums & wallabies.
