A lovely cottage that had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The little extra touches were welcome eg a bottle of milk, vase of greenery. The quiet atmosphere and view enhance a real holiday break from home pressures.
This is an excellent stay. The owners were very helpful and friendly. This stay is well equipped and not far from Launceston. I would highly recommend this stay.
Out of the city on a quiet river view spot. Easy access to main roads to go sight seeing for the day. Pleasant area to relax after a full day of sightseeing.
Annie's Retreat is a gorgeous 2 bedroom cottage with all the amenities needed.
Annie and Ross are a lovely couple who takes great care in providing a clean, tidy and presentable property.
It is in a lovely location with easy access to tourist locations in the surrounding towns.
We highly recommend Annie's Retreat to anyone who is visiting the area.
We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere.The attention to detail was wonderful, a comfortable bed, and even a patio to enjoy morning coffee. It was the perfect spot for a peaceful retreat, overlooking a river.I especially appreciated that Ross spent time with us mapping out suggested day trips. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and charming escape!
Great location, great property and even better hosts. Cottage was comfortable, well supplied and made us feel relaxed. Hosts were awesome, friendly and very helpful which made this our number one holiday of all tine.Was a home away from home and we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Launceston.Thanks Annie and Ross
A gorgeous cottage, so clean and perfect. Lovely verandah to sit and watch the world go by overlooking the river. Lovely hosts are most welcoming and friendly. Very comfortable and cosy. So good we decided to end our last two days holiday there as well a couple of weeks later.
It was a good location for our needs and cosy with everything you would need. Ross contacted us the night before to say we could get in early on the day of our arrival which was lovely. Would definitely recommend this property, and whilst the view is lovely, strange that no one has mentioned the proximity to the bridge and highway which created road noise and lights through the windows at night.
Spacious cottage, very comfortable with a pleasant river view. An easy drive into Launceston. Annie provides a load of extra condiments which were appreciated & enjoyed. Annie & Ross were helpful with their tourism advice.
We love staying in our small home away from home. It was a pleasure to be hosted by Annie and Ross. They are kind, caring, helpful and thoughtful. Everything you might ever need is in this home. It is centrally located to fly fishing which is our passion.
These hosts are at the top of their game regarding friendliness,communication and making you feel at home.The cottage is quaint and cosy.Every need is catered for just provide your own food essentials.Cookware and utensils and condiments provided.Very cleanand beautiful surrounds will be happy to go back.
The home is clean, cosy and equipped with everything you could need to self cater. Lots of lovely touches. The hosts are super helpful and hospitable. They shared great travel tips and local knowledge. The lovely walk to the river enabled us to see a platypus and other local wildlife
Stay was lovely. Everything we needed. Owners very accommodating and helpful. They were kind enough to ensure there was enough milk for a decent cuppa or two on arrival as I mentioned I like a cuppa so I was in heaven. They also gave us some local knowledge on the roads and bakeries which was very much appreciated.
Annie and Russ made us feel like we belonged in the neighborhood They are right next door and were committed to our comfort. The river flowing by was a plus and while we didn’t get to see any platypus Russ worked his magic and had all the little Roos show up
We stayed at Annie's place on our first trip to Tasmania. Right from the start Annie and Ross were fantastic communicators and answered all our questions as well as sharing with us a map of how to get to the place that actually made sense! They were very friendly, helpful and respectful and my wife and I loved our stay there very much. The place was neat and tidy, very comfortable with magnificent views. We cannot rate Annies place highly enough
Fantastic accommodation. Hosts couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Amenities were great. Lots of unexpected extras. Highly recommend this for anyone. Will look forward to staying here again.
Thank you Annie and Ross. Well done
