Accommodation
Tassie apple picker’s cottage now a charming writer’s retreat
Writers looking to seek out secluded, beautiful parts of the world to sit down and really focus on their work is as old as literature itself. And even if you haven’t got a novel in the works, today’s incredible property represents a bliss escape.
Originally an apple picker’s cottage, this charming writer’s retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind. And as you can see in the gallery above, the view is something else.
Life is good in the writer’s house with just a fence separating you from the neighbouring paddocks that feature some of the most picturesque scenery in Australia. The house has been completely reimagined with lofty ceilings and an open fireplace giving it a cosy vibe.
A secret valley behind the house (that you can’t see driving up the hill) features a farm track that invites you to wander and explore the paddocks, and maybe even inspect the dam. Visit at dusk or dawn and you much just see the platypus that lives down there.
Locations for a rural retreat don’t come much better than Cygnet. A small town with an agricultural heritage has become something of a mecca for artists, musicians, craftspeople and all sorts of creatives that culminates in the popular Cygnet Folk Festival.
Whether you’re planning to stay for a week, weekend or maybe even longer, this charming writer’s retreat is the perfect accommodation to explore this beautiful part of Tassie.
