The owners' wing is accessed via a private courtyard and consists of a large kitchen with a pantry, an open plan meals/living area, a laundry, a large bedroom with Huon pine detailed open fire place and an ensuite bathroom with underfloor and towel rail heating.
The guests' wing can accommodate up to 9 guests (3 queen beds + 1 king and sofa bed) comfortably and comprises of a reception and gallery, a guest Lounge with open wood fire place, a guest laundry, verandas and a large river deck and outdoor living with magnificent views. The four guest rooms are all well appointed to a high standard (including underfloor and towel rail heating in the bathrooms) with contemporary-country furnishings. Each of the accommodation offers a change of decor, configurations and inclusions but they all have access to the garden and BBQ facilities via the veranda or the river view deck. The Riverview Apartment (60m2) is self-contained with a full kitchen, open lounge with separate bedroom and spa-bath ensuite with double shower. The studio (30m2) has a kitchenette and a double shower ensuite. The Riverdeck Room (21 sq m) has spa-bath and single shower whilst the King Suite (30 sq m) has a loungette and double shower ensuite. Room tariffs include full served breakfasts for all guest rooms except for the Apartment where gourmet breakfast provisions are provided.
The business has been in successful operation since 2006 (with the addition of the King Suite in 2010). It operates at the upper end of the B&B market and is a multi-award winning business with 4.5 star rating from AAA. It is a regular finalist and winner of the People's Choice Award for the Northern Region (run by the Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania) and the TripAvisor Travellers' Choice winner for Tasmania 2013 with regular TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence, including & the Excellence Award in 2016. The business has a terrific reputation with excellent reviews and enjoys positive referrals and many repeat visitors.
The business is currently run by a husband and wife team and is an easy business to run with adult guests. As the business is run as a lifestyle operation, occupancy has been kept at around 25-30% per year to preserve the desired life/work balance and therefore offers great potential for growth. This is an opportunity to acquire an extraordinary lifestyle home in the heart of the Tamar Valley located a short drive from the city of Launceston in an ideal location overlooking the valley with the added benefit of an easy income. The property is offered 'as is' with its furniture (except for a small number of private pieces and some art-work) to allow the continuation of the business without interruptions.
