1 Bedroom Cottage in Swan Bay
Wine, walks and wagging tails!! Welcome to The Cottage at Nutshell Farm, Swan Bay—your serene sanctuary in the heart of Tasmania’s East Tamar Valley. Just a short 15-minute drive from Launceston and surrounded by world-class vineyards, this charming one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquility and wine country indulgence.
Sip your way through the Tamar Valley’s finest drops, then unwind on your private deck overlooking rolling green hills, a peaceful dam, and your own mini vineyard. Whether you're here for a romantic retreat or a cozy family getaway, the cottage sleeps up to four guests (one double bed plus a double sofa bed) and invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour the moment.
🐾 Extra Dog Friendly We don’t just allow pets—we welcome them with open arms. The cottage is fully fenced and features a lockable doggy door and enclosed deck, so your furry friend can safely enjoy the outdoors while staying close. Need a little freedom to explore the vineyards or dine out? We offer a pet-minding service (subject to availability) so you can relax knowing your companion is cared for.
🍷 Wine, Dine & Unwind Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen and BBQ on the covered deck, perfect for pairing local cheeses with a glass of Pinot Noir. After a day of tasting and touring, cozy up with reverse-cycle air conditioning, plush bedding, and peaceful views that stretch across the valley.
