Amazingly wonderful hosts and home
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.

Nice House with garden
We were two adults from Germany. We had a good time here. The house offered everything you need and was perfectly clean. Also it was like described. At the river just outside the backdoor we saw plenty wildlife. Would come back here. Annie and Ross where also very helpful and gave us very good recommendations for the area. Thanks for the nice stay.

A wonderful surprise in store. Comfortable and so clean
Annie's is situated on the South Esk River in Hadspen, and overlooks the river from the sitting room, main bedroom and verandah. Annie and Ross provided everything we needed for our stay, including little extras like cereal, condiments and sunscreen, which we forgot to bring. There are some lovely walks by the river in the area, and the hosts were very happy to provide as much information about the area as we wanted. We would highly recommend it. It is only 15 minutes form Launceston and was a great place to 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.

Fantastic place
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
