About this property

Naivasha Cottage with antique outdoor bath

This 100 year old stone and timber cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Hidden away in the Tasmanian bush, you'll never want to leave.
The generous living room has beautiful bush and lake views and a cozy wood fire.
The antique bath in the open-air bath house is the perfect place for stargazing.
Feed the friendly chooks and ducks and feast on their fresh laid eggs.

Follow our journey on our socials (IG @naivasha_cottage) for news and updates.

The generous living room has gorgeous lake and bush views and is heated by a wood fire and reverse cycle air conditioner.

Our 3 bedrooms comfortably sleep 6. Our comfortable beds have quality linens.
Bedrooms 1 & 2 have queen beds, bedroom 3 has long single beds (ideal for teens and adults)

And then, of course, there's the antique bath in the open-air bath house.

You're welcome to bring your own cot; a high chair is available on request.

We have a laundry with washing machine , iron and clothes airer.

The yard is fully fenced.

Because we're in the hills, mobile phone coverage is tricky. We have a Telstra booster, so there's mobile coverage for providers that use the Telstra network, like Aldi, Boost, Belong, and of course Telstra. If you are with another service provider, you'll have full coverage at the top of the driveway.

We have ample high-speed WiFi

Outstanding!

Such a lovely cottage in a stunningly beautiful setting. It has been lovingly furbished with all the comforts of home and so much more. We loved the friendly chooks and ducks and the curious pademelons. A perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Only wish we could have have stayed longer!

Under the stars

Linda, We truly enjoyed staying at you're home. It was very clean, welcoming and very peaceful. We enjoyed the chickens and even had a fresh egg breakfast our first morning. The star gazing was our favorite. It was so amazing and something we are not used to being from Chicago. We have way too much light pollution to see what you see. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.

Perfect escape

The cottage was perfect. Quite, secluded, well appointed, clean. We had a 1 night stay after hiking all day. The only sound was bird song. We had an outdoor bath and a warm shower and a wonderful dinner by the fireplace. The listing undersells the kitchen: it is fully equipped and you could cook anything here. We kept it simple as we’d been hiking, but you could cook up a feast here.

Perfect accomodation. 10 Stars!

We stayed one night in Deloraine to break up the drive from Hobart to Cradle mountain, and just wish we’d stayed longer. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and so thoughtfully furnished/finished. The outdoor bath was such a lovely feature (there’s also one indoors!) and we all loved the chickens, ducks, wallabies and even rabbits. To top it all off we saw a platypus in the dam! Deloraine itself is a really cute little town with lovely coffee shops, a great deli and second hand stores. It makes for a great destination in its own right, but also a convenient drive to other attractions. Linda’s cottage is perfect! We’ve stayed in a lot of different and lovely vacation homes but this one is the best of all.

The house and hosts were amazing. Beautiful, peaceful setting. Loved the book containing the history of the house, the outdoor bath, port and chocolates and fresh eggs in the hen house. This house had everything you could possibly need/want for a relaxing getaway. Lovely hosts as well.

The perfect holiday stay

Linda was an amazing host and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to make our 5 night stay comfortable. We arrived very late off the ferry and Linda had picked up an online grocery order so we could feed the troops on our first morning. This home's location is ideal for exploring quaint Deloraine and this entire area of beautiful Tasmania. Naivasha is truly something special and although we used it as a base, we could have happily spent our entire stay at the home. The home is beautifully decorated and equipped and the surroundings are just perfect, giving an unforgettable experience. We were constantly entertained by the local wildlife that cohabit and interact, and the whole family loved feeding the chickens and the ducks, who would all come to welcome us back from a day out. We would all look forward to heading back to the home at the end of a day outing, so we could again experience the tranquility and beauty. We had perfect weather and clear skies to enjoy stargazing at night, with the moon rising over the dam. The outlook over the dam to the bluegum forest is something we will remember for many years and we will certainly recommend a stay at Naivasha to anyone visiting Tassie. We have stayed at many holiday homes, and this is by far our favourite. We were all disappointed when it was time to leave but do plan to visit Tasmania again, and we would not even consider staying elsewhere to enjoy further exploring this part of the state. Thank you Linda for having us as guests at Naivasha, we loved every minute.

We absolutely loved this house.

This is really a fantastic place to stay. Spotless, luxurious (the outdoor bath is amazing), beautiful setting and close to town. The kids loved it too - they immediately ran out to play with the chickens and look for wildlife. Our only regret is not staying longer.

My husband and I stayed at Naivasha for the second week of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. We had the perfect space to take things slowly, really soak in the beautiful scenery and enjoy each other’s company in. The cottage is lovely in every way!

Cosy winter retreat

Quality bed linen and towels, beautifully equipped kitchen and carefully curated design features transform this cottage from a good stay to a restful retreat. It was lovely spot for our family to base ourselves to explore the area - so cosy to come home to. The home is remarkably clean and Linda had thought of every detail to make us feel we were on holiday. And the kids loved the chickens!

Absolutely fantastic!

An immaculately maintained cottage with character and tranquility, fridged by trees. The cottage offered plenty of space and children's activities for the family. The children had the best time ever feeding the chickens, collecting eggs, bird watching and rowing the boat. The kitchen was well equipped enabling us to cook all our meals for over a week and a half. The selection of books were well chosen (having now read 2 more crime novels!), plenty of DVDs and games for the children too. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Excellent location to explore Great Western Tiers. Thank you Linda for having us.

Excellent stay !

We loved the stay. It is a very a scenic location, bordering a forest, facing a big pond. The cottage is very imaginatively organised and functionally efficient. It caters to the interests and pleasures of children and adults. Kids loved feeding the chickens and ducks and collecting the chicken eggs. The cottage was equipped with board games for kids and lots of books. Hospitality was very warm and considerate. Strongly recommend an additional bathroom, this will make the score 5/5. We will surely come back again !

Beautiful, comfortable , well appointed place to enjoy a break. Thoroughly delightful place to stay.

Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed staying at Naivasha. The cottage has been renovated with such care and from the moment we arrived we felt at home. The bedrooms are presented beautifully, with all linen provided. The kitchen and laundry area are all well appointed with everything that we required as a large family to prepare meals and wash and live very comfortably. Linda's hospitality was appreciated by our whole family. Home cooked cookies were a hit for some hungry children. Linda kindly showed the kids how to feed the chickens and collect their eggs. We were treated to fresh eggs each day for breakfast. The living space was so cosy for Tassie weather. Capturing the days sun through the lovely double glazed windows meant that we didn't need to use the fire place each night. Although we did put on a fire one night, just because we love a nice fire. There was also a nice selection of books, games and DVD's for quieter moments. We stayed for 2 nights but would happily stay for much longer if visiting again in the future. I would recommend this place to a large or small family - it is just a beautiful place to stay.

Best Stayz host I have ever had!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Naivasha! We were a group of 7 (2 kids, mum, dad, grandparents and great-aunt) ranging from 3 to 70+ in age and each of us fell in love with the property. Linda was an exceptional host and provided welcome goodies along with her time to ensure that we were well-equipped for our stay in the region. The property itself was immaculate and had everything one could possibly need for their stay - regardless of length. I will definitely be returning!

Awesome holiday!

The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing place. A beautiful location and we all loved the dogs,chickens,ducks, pademelons and especially Dot the baby wombat. A warm welcome from Linda with home made muffins and lots of helpful advice on what to see in the area. Such a relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. Can’t recommend it too highly. *Year of stay is actually 2018 but does not seem to be available to choose on drop down menu !

Perfect property!

Thankyou Linda for a perfect stay last week. Our large family were made feel so welcome on arrival in Tas from Melbourne. The house was so clean and neat with plenty of room for all of us. Thankyou for the fresh milk, honey and muffins too. The kids especially loved swimming in the dam and feeding the chickens. What a beautiful out look. We have already given your property name to friends looking at travelling to Tasmania. Kind regards, the Irwin family.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Our family lives just outside the picturesque village of Deloraine in Northern Tamania.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the minute we set foot here. We came down through the eucalyptus forest and spotted a platypus in the dam! We renovated the 100 year old cottage (that you now get to stay in ) and lived in it for 3 years while we built a new home on the property.

What makes this property unique

We love being out in the bush and feeling like we're away from it all. We have the friendliest chooks you're ever seen, and a platypus regularly visits. Where else do you get to watch a platypus from the comfort of the loungeroom! We also love our 120 year old claw foot bath in our open-air bath house.
All this, and we're just 5 minutes from "civilization"!
