Olive's Cottage and Gardens: Fabulous Tamar Views

Olive's Cottage has been in continuous operation since 2004, welcoming guests from all over the world for over 14 years. Olive's has an airy, welcoming feel amidst all the mod cons for the discerning traveller and food and wine lover, like a coffee pod machine and fast WiFi. On the eastern side of the Tamar River, 15 minutes north of Launceston, it is an ideal rural base to explore the wine route and the northern region of Tasmania.

The cottage has a combined lounge, kitchen and dining room, leading to extensive decking. There are two bedrooms and a main bathroom. The roomy main bedroom has its own ensuite and a quiet sitting area, both with an idyllic outlook over the lawns and river. The fully landscaped gardens include sweeping lawns leading to mesmerising views over the Tamar and to the vineyards beyond. As sole occupants of the property, you can relax and unwind unencumbered by others.

Windermere is on a beautiful section of the Tamar and in easy access of Launceston, historic towns, mountains, beaches, berry farms and orchards.

The rate includes ground coffee and coffee pods, tea and milk and other next-day breakfast starter provisions, and a complimentary bottle of Tamar Valley wine.

Olive's Cottage is an accredited tourist business under the Tourism Australia ATAP program and Quality Assured Tasmania.

Two bedrooms. Two bathrooms, including ensuite in main bedroom. One king size bed. One queen size bed. All linen provided. Maximum occupancy is four persons.

We do not take children under 12 years of age (but requests accepted). No pets accepted. No single night bookings. Four two night bookings we charge a cleaning fee of $250 as the changeover costs are very high, It is more economical to book for three nights or more when there is no cleaning charge.

So comfortable
The cottage evokes homeliness and comfort the second you open the door. We only wish we booked for a few more nights. Hopefully we will return.

Windermere cottage
A very relaxing place to stay when visiting the Tamar valley. It is tucked away peacefully on the river with a lovely garden to sit and watch the sunset while drinking a nice glass of local red or the white thoughtfully provided by the owners.There is nothing that they have not thought of and as an extra bonus, the bed was super comfortable. The cottage was exactly as described. Not modern but homely.

Beautiful serene location
We are two couples spending 6 weeks touring Australia. We were delighted with everything about this house. Sitting on the deck in the morning and evening were perfect starts and end to the day. The location was an easy drive to town. The house was equipped with everything needed and then some. We will be back when we again visit Tasmania.

Sunrise on Tamar Estuary
Great, peaceful location. Well stocked kitchen with modern appliances. Breakfast starter with fresh strawberries and eggs a nice touch. Sofa and sitting chairs could be improved, but overall a lovely place to stay.
