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.

    Little Hideaway

    A little gem out of the busyness of the city, yet well appointed. Beautiful views, that you share with chooks, farm animals and wildlife. Loved this little place. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for our two nights in the area. Special little touches as well. Thank you Janine and Paul.

    Gold Star for Silver Celebration

    My wife and I recently celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Tassie. I found this place in the app, and the great price drew me in, not to mention its location within Tassie, and, then the photos just pushed it over the line. We loved our time in Tassie, and this place was so good! The host was amazing, friendly, and, made sure that we had plenty of privacy. The plate of shortbread on arrival was to die for! The view every morning looking out over the Tamar River, well, the photos just don’t do it justice. The hosts are very approachable, and really went above and beyond, ensuring we had a lovely time, and sharing helpful hints as well. My wife and I both spent years of our lives in the bush, and the farm animals, and pademelons, native birds, and other critters just made this stay so relaxing. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough! When we go back down to Tassie, this will be our first choice to stay. Thanks again to Janine and Paul.

    Hidden Gem

    Scrupulously clean and well cared for it’s hard to fault this little hidden gem for a short stay less than 10 minutes out of Launceston. The elevated view over the Tamar wetlands is really worth the short drive to the little farm which also provides privacy and an escape from all road noise on the busy road below. Nothing we needed had been forgotten but Janine and Paul are amiable and welcoming and were on site happy to offer assistance if needed.

    A Home Away from Home

    A delightful and beautifully presented cottage with everything I needed for my stay. Beautiful view over the Tamar Valley wetlands. An ideal location to explore Launceston and the Tamar Valley. Janine and Paul were lovely hosts adding extra touches to make my stay a home away from home. I had a special request and they went above and beyond to accommodate it which I truly appreciated. I look forward to staying there again on my last night in Tasmania.

    A lovely cottage which we found very cosy and homely for our week long stay in Launceston. Freshly made shortbread and freshly picked flowers from the garden were left for us upon arrival. We would highly recommend this accomodation.

    Well worth the effort to book the property.

    The property is well presented, clean, furnished, ready for a seamless entry and stay. Janine and Paul were considerate and wonderful hosts, each of whom enquired about my stay and requirements on occasions. Storms impacted power supplies to the property and they offered to refund the cost of my stay. I will certainly return to Graham's cottage to again soak in the atmosphere and ambience that oozes through the area; and as previously mentioned the Targetts are wonderful hosts.

    Be careful of the driveway

    Lovely hosts and view but be wary of the long bumpy driveway especially at night in a hire car. Too hilly for older folk to walk too far without driving off the property. Great place for a short stay but too cramped for a week or more. The electric blanket was a very welcome surprise.
