About this property

Lune Mill River House

Lune Mill house, Lune Mill Road in the far South

Only one of its kind. Once the timber mill manager's house. On the edge of world heritage wilderness and beautiful waterways. Absolute waterfront, perched on the banks of one of the world's most pristine rivers.

Rustic but comfortable with power, plenty of hot water, digital tv. 3 bedrooms 1 double, 1 family room( queen bed and bunks) 1 bedroom with bunks (king single) . Up to 8 persons but prefer couples. Prefer you to bring own linen as we are on tank water however we have an emergency supply. Total peace and quiet.

Do not be expecting luxury, it is not , it is our holiday home with gum boots in the corner. If you are after night life and restaurants this is not for you. If you are after 5 star luxury this is not for you. If you are a serious bushwalker, caver, etc , fossiker, or like us, just want to chill out by the open fire or fish from the jetty it is just the spot. Fancy getting cooked? Enjoy our wood-heated outdoor bath by the riverside.

NEW Also now available some weekends.

Southport beach, Cockle Creek, Recherche Bay.
1 .1/2 hours south of Hobart on the scenic route via Huonville and Dover

Sunrise Stay at Lune Mill River House

We had a wonderful few days staying at the Lune Mill River House. It was great to wake up, open the curtains, and see the sun rise on the river from the bed. The view of the river was amazing.

Fantastic location. Bare essentials accommodation. Make sure there is sufficient good wood - we had to scrounge odds and ends - the good wood came the morning we left!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic, character filled property set in such a beautiful location. It's not for those seeking ultimate cleanliness and new style interior but for us it had the atmosphere we enjoy. We look forward to returning in the future

Adventure

We understood it was a 100 year old house that was rustic so we were prepared for anything. Loved our stay. Comfortable beds and good showers so no complaints. Caught a fish from the jetty. I would love to do the Reno's on the house while keeping the character of the house. We loved the seclusion and quiet. It was all quite an adventure.

This is a beautiful location, the house is very old and eclectic but well kept. Very suitable for our family. Fans are needed for hot days as the house can get stuffy.

Beautiful location

We booked this accommodation as a 4-day fieldwork base. The mill house has its idiosyncrasies. As long as you set your expectations for camping conditions in a remote part of the world, you will find the structure to be sufficient. The location is spectacular and the jetty is very impressive. All team members expressed their satisfaction with their stay and would book it again for similar work.

Good spot

Amazing location, beautiful. It is a rustic and eclectic house. A real tassie shack, a very relaxed vibe. It was good to read the description and reviews to know how to plan accordingly. Great communication and we were accomodated for, thank you. I would bring some kayaks next time to get on the river.
