Annie's River Retreat-last minute deals, family friendly home, rural/river views

Situated beautifully high up with a view of the South Esk River, and overlooking Meander Valley Road bridge, this detached bright and sunny cottage is located within the beautiful surrounds of Rutherglen Village.

"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!

Located across the road from the historic and picturesque Entally Estate and vineyard, just 12 minutes from Launceston CBD with city bus service.

Enjoy a walk out the back gate and down to the river, abundant with wildlife & birds, even a resident platyplus if you're lucky! On dusk, enjoy feeding our resident wallabies, often with joeys still in their pouch.

Great location, friendly hosts
It was a good location for our needs and cosy with everything you would need. Ross contacted us the night before to say we could get in early on the day of our arrival which was lovely. Would definitely recommend this property, and whilst the view is lovely, strange that no one has mentioned the proximity to the bridge and highway which created road noise and lights through the windows at night.
