About this cottage rental

"Annie's" has a beautiful sunny aspect and rural views in a peaceful and quiet setting. With open carport, small garden and lovely big deck overlooking the river, "Annie's" is ready and waiting for you to relax and enjoy!

Annie and Ross are the most welcoming hosts! This was our first time to Tassie and Ross had maps and ideas on hand to navigate us around the beautiful countryside! The town of “Launie” was so charming, so good for kids to run and play. The home is a small cottage on the river, with gorgeous views and a perfect back porch to relax. My girls loved the yard full of flowers! The kitchen was perfect for cooking, fully stocked with everything you could ever need. The beds were super comfy. There were plenty of board games, books, WiFi, etc… We honestly didn’t want to leave. When we return to Tassie, we will absolutely return and spend some time back at Annies cottage!

Stay was lovely. Everything we needed. Owners very accommodating and helpful. They were kind enough to ensure there was enough milk for a decent cuppa or two on arrival as I mentioned I like a cuppa so I was in heaven. They also gave us some local knowledge on the roads and bakeries which was very much appreciated.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere.The attention to detail was wonderful, a comfortable bed, and even a patio to enjoy morning coffee. It was the perfect spot for a peaceful retreat, overlooking a river.I especially appreciated that Ross spent time with us mapping out suggested day trips. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and charming escape!
