Lovely house with eveything needed for a fantastic stay. Clean, comfortable and beautifully presented. The location is excellent; on the water but easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants.Communication from the host was excellent, and access was simple with great instructions.Our family loved our stay and would stay again in an instant.
The inside, all rooms are immaculate, the lounge with the fire place is beyond cosy, kitchen serves perfectly for inside or outside meals, especially in-the-sun breakfast on the elevated deck overlooking the water and boats
The cottage was perfect for us. The owner was always so helpful with any questions we had. The outdoor area with the fire pit overlooking the water was pucture perfect
Great location, and the home has been done up nicely. That deck overlooking the water is just awesome. So relaxing sitting out there watching life go by.
Stunning position by the water, close to shops, pub & delightful restaurant. Interesting decorative touches in the rooms, though drawers rather than artificial palm tree in main bedroom would be more practical.
We visited the area for a family wedding and had the most beautiful stay in Georgetown. The house is in the perfect location to shops and we enjoyed the bikes on offer to explore the area. The beds were so comfortable and the house was great for our family group. Janmaree was a great host and always on hand to answer questions and offer local tips!
This house was perfect. Great house, location and gardens. The deck overlooked the grasslands and water. So relaxing. The bed were comfortable which is not always the case. Janmaree was so helpful with everything including what to do on the way to the house. I highly recommend this house. Great value.
Such a wonderful place to make happy family memories!
I booked this trip as a family getaway for my husband, his siblings, his mum, myself and our son as hubby was celebrating his 50th birthday.
Although hubby, our son and I have travelled to Tassie scores of times over the past 25 years, most of the rest of the group had not been to Tasmania so there was a lot of pressure on me to have picked a property that suited everyone from 16 to 80 years of age!
Well, we could have not been happier with our choice. It was the most cosy, well presented cottage with amazing views and literally footsteps from the main street shops and a great pub (with Gin tasting room) immediately across the street.
Even though we visited during a heatwave, the nights were cool enough to have the fire pit going so we could sit outside and enjoy the stars. The bonus was the group of girls at the house immediately next door were also celebrating a 50th birthday so we chatted and shared cake & candles!
The beds were super comfy (& I'm fussy), the rooms tastefully decorated and the linen top notch! Crisp white sheets and fluffy Sheridan towels!
Plus there was just the most amazing cottage garden (we are a family of gardeners) full of succulents, the most beautiful geraniums and tomatoes for our breakfast.
Only things to note with a bigger party; there is only 1 shower so just be organised with timing (another loo available so no issue there) and the dining room is too tight for 8, but we spent our time outside on the deck anyway. Still10/10!
Great location, easy access to shops and the Pier Hotel, beautiful views from the kitchen window and awesome fire place inside and relaxing fire pit outside
What a gorgeous cottage right on the river. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults. Very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. Janmaree is very helpful with great tips on where to go and where to eat. We would definitely come back to York Cottage.
Loved being able to see the boats on the water, close to everything. Had dinner at the pier hotel, right across from the house.
The house itself had a good feel to it, with each room having something different to it almost quirky.
Host was great with communication and happy to help with any queries or to give a recommendation.
