Charleston Cottage is in the heart of Evandale, on the banks of the South Esk river, a postcard-perfect historic village just a few minutes’ drive from Launceston Airport. Head next door to the heritage-listed Clarendon Arms circa 1847  now a meeting place for good food, wines, conversation and live music on Sundays and the cellar door for local Broad Arrow wines. Both properties privately owned and managed by Lydia Nettlefold.

Stroll the main street with its quaint antique stores and the popular Evandale Village Store, and visit Evandale’s Sunday market for fresh produce, crafts and bric-a-brac. The surrounding area is rich with rolling hills, dales and vistas resonant of the English countryside dotted with farms and farmhouses, lambs in spring  and rare breed cattle. Truly magnificent scenery to be had along with many interesting Heritage listed places to visit and some of the best vineyards in Tasmania right on our doorstep.

All within a 15 minute drive are historic homesteads Clarendon House, Franklin House and Entally Estate. Offering a rich insight into colonial Tasmania and convict history are the World Heritage Listed Woolmers Estate and Brickendon Estate, both well worth allocating time for.

Take a day trip to visit the Tamar Valley’s impressive range of wineries, including Josef Chromy Wines, and enjoy a long lunch in their hatted restaurant (bookings essential). And spend a day discovering Launceston and breathtaking Cataract Gorge, just 20 minutes from your accommodation and five minutes from Launceston airport.

Book your luxury get away in the heart of historic Evandale.
