comfortable accommodation with breathtaking views of river

Michael Australia

We stayed in the cottage with views of the river and enjoyed having meals on the deck, and direct access to the walking tracks around the river. Ian was a wonderful host, with a simple but well appointed property which is well located for exploring the region.

Francine Australia

Ian and Sandy were so welcoming. They were keen to male our stay perfect and it was

Sequoia Australia

Idyllic location with a lovely view of the river. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the property had an excellently stocked kitchen with all the amenities we needed. Really easy to get to and convenient to local wineries, beauty spots and Launceston.

Carol United Kingdom

Location: central to all Tamar Valley makes a fantastic base to explore the area. Comfortable: the cottage is well appointed with great bedding, lounge, full kitchen etc. View: just beautiful, peaceful, overlooking the river.

Matti Australia

The situation and location came up to expectations, with quietness being paramount. Shopping was within a short drive, with an excellent butcher in Exeter. Don't expect much in the way of evening dining.

Martin Australia

Excellent stay....what an amazing spot. Couldnt get a better view to drink a glass of wine in front of. The owners were always on hand and were lovely to deal with and couldnt have been more helpful!

Brendan Australia

This is a fully contained cottage in a gorgeous location overlooking the Tamar River, secluded with a lovely balcony and bbq and table. Inside there's everything you could possibly need from comfy recliner sofa and chairs, TV an DVD player, fully equipped kitchen and laundry with washing machine. Ian was lovely and showed us around and also provided eggs, bacon, Tamar Valley yoghurts and fruit as well as milk, orange juice and bread and butter.

Host Info

Host Review Score 10

Tamar River Retreat is a very special place. Located on 3 acres with magnificent views overlooking the beautiful Tamar River, Tamar River Retreat is a private, peaceful and tranquil oasis tucked away off the beaten track - but still close to the iconic Batman Bridge, shops and all of the amenities and attractions any visitor could want. Surrounded by forest and wonderful mature gardens and adjacent to Bonnie Beach this historic property and former cherry orchard offers two spacious, well-appointed and comfortable self-contained cottages situated beneath the canopy of giant pine trees and oak trees, some of which are more than150 years old. Relax, unwind and escape to the beauty of this natural paradise - you will be glad you did!

The Tamar Valley is a diverse and historical region (first settled in 1804) offering a great variety of things to do for singles, couples, families and people of all ages and nationalities. In particular, the area is home to dozens of excellent wineries and cellar doors. There are many restaurants, cafes and shopping facilities readily available. The Valley follows the magnificent Tamar River from its opening to the sea to the City of Launceston, some 80km upstream. The river is several km wide in places and often looks more like a lake than a river. Several quaint small townships dot its shores. Boating and fishing are common activities and there are excellent views over the river and mountains for elevated vantage points on both sides of the river. The Tamar Valley is one of Tasmania's and Australia's most privileged and unspoiled locations offering ample wildlife, beautiful scenery and tranquil places that will lift your spirit. Cows, sheep, horses and Alpacas grave peacefully on surrounding green rolling hills. The local climate and weather is often milder and warmer than other parts of the State. The iconic Batman Bridge provides easy access to both sides of the River.
