The Apple Shed
EXPERIENCE ‘THE APPLE SHED’ OVERLOOKING THE TRANQUIL TAMAR RIVER
Would you like the perfect peaceful getaway, wake to the sounds of silence, enjoy views of fabulous sunsets, step into your own personal spa, or sit by a cosy wood fire?
If this sounds like you, then what are you waiting for, make your escape to ‘The Apple Shed’, situated overlooking the Tamar River in the small semi-rural residential settlement of Hillwood
Hillwood, located approximately 25 mins north of Launceston, and a further 20 mins to the town of Georgetown and historic Lowhead. Previously a traditional orchard area with links to farming and agriculture, today the area boasts quirky rural style wineries, local farmgate fruit stalls, fishing and boating, walking trails and the impressive Hillwood Berry Farm, where you can hand-pick your own produce.
Located close to the banks of the magnificent Tamar River, you will find our purpose built retro style, low level, wooden, ‘Apple Shed.’ With two bedrooms, modern bathroom, laundry facilities, open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area it is the ultimate relaxing getaway. Adding to the comfort of our guests there is a wood heater and reverse cycle air-conditioner. Outdoors, enjoy your own private spa on the open deck, providing scenic views across the river and beyond, or sit and relax indulging in the simple pleasure of a fine wine or a morning coffee
