Seniors retreat in Tasmania’s Swiss Village

Seniors retreat in Tasmania’s Swiss Village

Recharging your batteries for the weekend in a quaint, European village sounds lovely, but generally the price of international flights makes this a bit of a pipe dream.

But what if we told you that you could stay in a village every bit as picturesque as one in the Swiss Alps – and you’d only have to venture as far as Tassie!

With the Airbnb property featured in today’s article you can do exactly there, with this lovely cottage in Grindelwald the perfect location for a seniors retreat.

This three bedroom cottage features all the modern amenities you need to enjoy a weekend escape, housed in a unique piece of architecture that’s an attraction in and of itself.

Established in the 1980s as a unique residential development, Grindelwald is a fascinating part of Tassie that brings a distinct taste of Europe to the Apple Isle.

Fringed with glassy lakes and spectacular views of the Tamar Valley, Grindelwald houses have been built in Swiss style with wide eaves, flowerboxes, window shutters and balconies, providing a fascinating place to spend a weekend, week or even longer.

While you’re in Grindelwald there’ll be plenty to do as well, with boutiques, craft and gift shops, clothing store, hairdresser, day spa, golf pro shop, chocolatier, and a cafe and bakery all providing the perfect way to while away the hours.

Even if you’re not headed to Tasmania any time soon, make sure you scroll through the gallery above as these images provide a fascinating look at this part of the world.
