Our stay at Kathie's home at Kelso was everything and more than we had hoped for. The tariff is reasonable for a start. 'Rio Vista' has 3 lovely bedrooms and a games/rumpus room and seems almost brand new. Kelso is idyllic as a location. It is peaceful and Kathie's house has unimpeded views of the broad Tamar River and its opening into Bass Strait, directly opposite the house. Binoculars are supplied and it is great to watch the ships coming and going. Kelso is a holiday home area only and with the exception of a caravan park does not have crowded resorts. In fact there is no shop. But this is not a disadvantage as Beaconsfield is a 15 minute drive away where there are supermarkets. There is so much to do and see in the area. You can swim, fish, walk or just relax and de-stress without crowds or traffic. You can visit Beauty Point or Greens Beach only 10 minutes away. The city of Launceston is about an hour's drive. The house has everything. Fully and tastefully furnished and thoughtful additions such as foodstuffs in the pantry and a welcoming bottle of wine and array of cheeses. Two TV's with access to Foxtel, a table tennis table, foosball table, fishing rods (and bait in the freezer), bicycles, totem tennis, and of course free wifi. Kathie and those who help her really want you to enjoy your stay at Rio Vista and they have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure it happens. Our two young grandsons stayed with us for the first 4 nights and we then reluctantly left and their parents and little baby sister joined them for 2 more days. We only live 70kms away but our stay at 'Rio Vista' has to be one of the most enjoyable holidays/breaks in 45 years of travelling in Aust and overseas.
