About this property
Hillwood Havana - Bed and Breakfast. Room in the house
Welcome to Hillwood Havana, a tranquil retreat nestled in the heart of Hillwood, a serene village on the picturesque east side of the Tamar River. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this haven, where relaxation and rejuvenation await.
Gaze upon the expansive views of the Tamar River that greet you from the living area, bathing the space in natural light, and where comfort and convenience reign supreme, with ample parking both on the property and along the street.
Your journey continues as you discover the inviting guests rooms. While your host Elizabeth occupies the main bedroom, guests can book one of two rooms - choosing between a king size bedroom and your own ensuite with a hot tub offering it's own river view, and a cosy single bedroom.
The charm of these rooms matched by the accessibility of the main guest bathroom.
Step into the heart of the home, where an open- plan layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining and living areas. An inviting deck allows you to embrace the panoramic river views, be it during captivating sunsets, stargazing on clear nights, or amidst the soothing sounds of local birds such as kookaburras, blackbirds, magpies, wattle birds, rosellas, wedge tailed eagles, and more. Black swans are often see peacefully swimming across the river, while the possums and rabbits can be seen inhabiting the yard.
Unwind and indulge in leisure, whether watching the smart TV from plush recliners, or sipping tea at the dining table, or enjoying wine at the kitchen bar, all while soaking in the serene surroundings. For couples seeking respite, this space offers solace and tranquility, a true escape from the bustle.
The well - equipped kitchen boasts modern amenities, including a dishwasher, microwave, oven, and expansive fridge. Abundant cupboard space is ready to house your belongings, making you feel right at home.
Explore the treasures of the village as you stroll to Marigolds On The Tamar, the neighboring cafe, which takes all of 20 seconds to walk to, or take a leisurely walk to the nearby pontoon for riverside fishing. Those with boats can venture to the boat ramp, just 3km away, to access Egg Island—an angler's paradise.
In summer, indulge in berry-picking at the Hillwood Berry Farm, a mere 2km away. Enjoy the bounty of strawberries, blackberries, currants, and raspberries, and bask in the accompanying farm views from the popular on-site cafe.
Outdoor enthusiasts will revel in the opportunities for bike rides, scenic walks, and local explorations. As you set out from Hillwood, you're only 25km away from Launceston, Tasmania's northern city, and a gateway to an array of attractions. Marvel at the majesty of Cataract Gorge, cruise the tranquil waters, and bask in the beauty of Launceston's stunning historical buildings, shops, cafes, restaurants, and magical city parks.
Embark on excursions to Grindelwald's Swiss-style Village, take on the heights of Ben Lomond National Park, and indulge in the allure of nearby wineries. Take the board walk to Tamar Island, where all kinds of birds, even hundreds of black swans, can be observed enjoying the expansive wetlands. And don't miss the fragrant fields of Bridestowe Lavender Farm, all within reach from your peaceful base.
Escape the ordinary and embrace the tranquility of Hillwood Havana—a sanctuary where the river's embrace meets the slow-paced rhythm of Tasmanian village life. Your rejuvenating retreat awaits.
