About the host

Host profile image
After 27 years of hairdressing and working to the clock, I set off on an adventure, which lead to 10 years of living in the tropics where I helped renovate and manage holiday villas.
Covid, changed all that and I returned home to beloved Tasmania.
I had owned the cottage for many years, just waiting for the right moment and inspiration to "do something with it"
I just love creating gorgeous and comfortable spaces, filling them with energy and making a haven for people to comfortably relax.
I understand the need for people "get away, unwind & switch off.
Over the years I have checked in stressed individuals, always such a rush to pack and get organised to go on holidays, at the end of their visit, I have checked out the most relaxed people who look like the weight of the world has been lifted.
That is what I have achieved at York Cove Cottage 1870.
Not just another BnB,
YCC 1870 a LIFE STYLE DESTINATION!
2024 York Cove Boat House NOW OPEN next door. 2 Great choices of absolute waterfont accommodation.

Why they chose this property

Built in 1870 as a workman cottage for the Telegraph Cable that joined Tasmania to Mainland Australia.
The original cottage was 2 bedrooms, with 3 fire places.
The chimney that stands in the kitchen was once on the outside of the house. LOOK at the wooden door step as you walk from the kitchen to the living room, it is worn from 150 years of foot steps.
The cottage offers spacious bedrooms, with water views from each room.
Cosy nights by the fire, and all the joy that waterfront living offers... Walks, bike track, pelicans, fishing, fresh lifestyle, beautiful sunsets across the bay and sunrises over Mt George .
Every moment of the day is a changing landscape. Boats, Birds, fishermen, people walking and pickniching... Make sure you have a photo with the giant waterfront statues, Sammy the Seal and George the Pelican.
Sunrises over York Cove and sets over the Tamar River, the best of both worlds.
