LuisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The stars, the peace and the wildlife.. this place had it all. We were in Tasmania to watch our son compete in a rowing tournament and picked the property because of proximity… but it was so much more than convenient… it felt like home. It was peaceful and super comfortable, have not slept this well in ages. Felt like visiting a favourite relative. Gen was a joy to communicate with and everything was as described.. the property is amazing, the walks so good and the tree house loved by Ms 12.

My family had a wonderful 3 nights in Christine’s house. It was very homely and extremely clean. Our 3 year old was very excited to find a big tub of duplo in the cupboard. Christine was a fantastic host and rang me straight back when I had a question about the heating and was very helpful in answering my questions in regard to things to do around Launceston. I would highly recommend this lovely home and hope we can come back another time. Thanks Christine!

Beautiful peaceful location. The cottage was charming and very well stocked. The firepit and free range eggs were a really nice surprise. We had the best family night around the camp fire. The only bad thing about our stay was that I only booked 1 night. Will definitely be back!

Private 2 bedroom apartment stunning views

TaniaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Had a lovely 2-night stay here for our visit to Launceston. Comfortable appartment with kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and clean and spacious bathroom with both shower and bath. The washer also came in handy, unfortunately it was raining the next day so it did take a while for the clothes to dry indoor, but it’s great to have all of these amenities at hand. We enjoyed visiting Moores Hill winery and the history walking tour of Launceston. Great location next to the gorge.

Waterfront - absolute beach frontage -pet friendly

KylieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We are now ‘regulars’ at this Air BnB, we travel to Low Head to visit family, and we time our visits around the availability of this beachfront home. Kelly’s place is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The kitchen is well appointed with everything that you would need. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are very clean, the overall space in the house is used very well. The view is amazing, the home has a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and the location is within easy access of walks, historical sites, and a lovely cafe at the Pilot Station. Our dog loves the large, tidy yard, and he likes the views too! We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this gem, and while family may not be locals for much longer, we would like to continue our visits just to stay at Kelly’s Beachside Home.

'Beachside' Unique Waterfront Pet-friendly

WendyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Beautiful relaxing location, taking my first step into beachside the place felt clean and homely. The house is old but has charm and could do with a little bit of maintenance. Shan is a very good host and when I needed to contact her she responded quickly. We appreciated that she allowed us to stay with our long haired chihuahua “Sasha” and we all plan to return as this is a great place to just chill out and relax. Wendy, Ray and Sasha ( might I add we had to carry Sasha out as she was not ready to leave😂😂)

We chose to spend some peaceful days out at Gravelly Beach, to escape and explore the Tamar region. Henderson's is a great base to do so, close to Launceston if you need, and close to the wineries (for parents!) and Tasmania Zoo (for kids!). The accommodation was both spotless and welcoming with all needs provided for.

AliciaRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This was a great base for exploring the Cradle Mountain area and surrounds. The kids were excited for this stop on our trip for the pool and it did not disappoint, a great highlight with a stunning view of Mt Roland sparkling at sunset. John was wonderful with suggestions of how to enjoy the property including helping with platypus spotting and accessing the silver mine. A great spot for families with so much to enjoy 😉
