We love Annie’s home. Very beautiful, clean and comfortable. Annie and Ross had provided everything (and more) that we needed. They let us check in very early and had the room all warmed up when we arrived at the door before 9:30am. They were always very helpful. Thanks Annie and Ross for being such a great host,

From the moment we booked, Annie and Ross were amazing hosts. They were in contact with us prior to our stay and during, to make sure everything was ok, if there was anything we needed etc. The cottage is beautiful, clean, warm and cosy, with a stunning view just to add to the stay. There is nothing negative to say about the cottage or hosts, we couldn't recommend this any higher. We will definitely be back.

Annie's Cottage was our favourite accommodation during our week long stay in Tasmania. Everything you need is provided in the Cottage. The beds were very comfy, the pantry was well stocked and Ross even had the house warmed for us before our arrival. The beautiful short private walk to the river allowed us to see a range of wildlife. Both Ross and Annie were very helpful with local knowledge and so friendly. I will definitely be recommending Annie's Cottage to any of my friends visiting Tasmania.

Nice House with garden
We were two adults from Germany. We had a good time here. The house offered everything you need and was perfectly clean. Also it was like described. At the river just outside the backdoor we saw plenty wildlife. Would come back here. Annie and Ross where also very helpful and gave us very good recommendations for the area. Thanks for the nice stay.

A wonderful surprise in store. Comfortable and so clean
Annie's is situated on the South Esk River in Hadspen, and overlooks the river from the sitting room, main bedroom and verandah. Annie and Ross provided everything we needed for our stay, including little extras like cereal, condiments and sunscreen, which we forgot to bring. There are some lovely walks by the river in the area, and the hosts were very happy to provide as much information about the area as we wanted. We would highly recommend it. It is only 15 minutes form Launceston and was a great place to stay.

Fantastic place
We stayed at Annie's place on our first trip to Tasmania. Right from the start Annie and Ross were fantastic communicators and answered all our questions as well as sharing with us a map of how to get to the place that actually made sense! They were very friendly, helpful and respectful and my wife and I loved our stay there very much. The place was neat and tidy, very comfortable with magnificent views. We cannot rate Annies place highly enough
