About this property

Island Views-Graham's Cottage Country Style

Country Style Cottage - relax and enjoy the view. Enjoy the country experience of Graham's Cottage, a delightful studio apartment catering for up to 2 adults. Enjoy Jan's home made shortbread on arrival.

Situated on 'Island Views' property, it is worth the drive up the hill to admire the magnificent view of Tamar Island on arrival at the cottage. Only 10 mins from the Launceston GPO and on the Tamar Valley wine route. Approximately 500 metres to Tamar Island Wetlands Centre, birdwatching and boardwalk to the island. A must for tourists.

Reverse cycle heat pump ensures a comfortable temperature all year round. Macracarpa pine kitchen benches are a stunning feature of the cottage. Bathroom includes both bath and shower.

Less than 15 minutes by car to Launceston GPO, Cataract Gorge and chair-lift, 10 minutes to Grindlewald Swiss Village. Graham's Cottage is ideally situated for visits to local wineries, restaurants, cafes and beaches.


From Janine and Paul: Our guest reviews both below and in our Cottage guest book have been fantastic. We would love to invite you to experience the peaceful, country cottage ambiance of Graham's Cottage when you arrive at our Island Views property.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage and its facilities are well‑maintained and very clean. Janette and Paul are welcoming hosts and lovely to chat with. My husband especially enjoyed the shortbread, and we really appreciated the other thoughtful freebies! The only improvement I'd suggest is strengthening the Wi‑Fi coverage, but overall it was a great experience.

This property was cosy and quaint with lovely views of the Tamar Valley wetlands. Our hosts greeted us with chocolates, fresh fruit and some yummy home made shortbread cookies, and the price per night was amazing! Would certainly recommend to my family and friends!

Both Janine & Paul were excellent hosts, from the minute we arrived they greeted us personally and made us feel very welcomed. They were always on hand to provide location information and the shortbread & welcome gifts were a nice touch indeed. Be prepared for the lonnngggg driveway up towards the property. It looks scary at first but keep it slow and steady and your car will be fine. SUV’s … not a problem, compact cars with low clearance … take your time. Trust me! The views are stunning and the peace and tranquility is next level. You will enjoy your stay and want to return … or maybe never leave.
