On arrival, our party of four, was greeted by our charming and gracious host, Denise and her friendly golden labrador. After guiding us through the house and answering our questions, she invited us to help ourselves to the mulberries and other fruit in season from her garden. They were a welcome addition to our breakfast table. There are so many fabulous things to share about Denise's place, a perfect haven for couples or a group of friends - where to start!
First, the beautiful and plentiful garden - a delight. The Tamar River view seen from picture frame windows - to die for. The brilliant night skies viewed from the terrace - an astronomy buff's dream. Sunsets viewed from the pier on the river - fabulous. Onto the internals. A kitchen that any chef would be happy to work in with the most gorgeous, gleaming stainless steel benchtops I've ever seen. Bonus- Denise provided a starter pack including milk, bread, butter and jam. An open plan dining and lounge room with fireplace for those cold winter evenings. Comfortable and welcoming bedrooms with beautiful linens and functional furniture. Sparkling clean bathrooms with convenient toiletries. Bookshelves in the corridor with lots of novels and reference books for those days when one needs a break from the fabulous wine and food offerings in the Tamar Valley area. Guidebooks and brochures for easy reference on the entry table.
While Rosevears is just a small community, supermarkets, fish shop, pharmacy etc are within easy distance. Overall, we found Denise's place a perfect base for touring the wineries and fruit farms of the Tamar and taking in the sights around Launceston and the north-eastern coast. Highly recommended!
