The house

Fernvale Cottage accommodates four guests. The open living area has a chaise lounge, wall-mounted TV, air conditioning, heating and books. A dedicated office provides Wi-Fi, an ergonomic chair and a monitor.

The retro-style kitchen includes an induction stove, range hood, oven, fridge and microwave. A wraparound wooden preparation bench doubles as a dining space with four stools. Outside are a fairy-lit fire pit, BBQ, large picnic table, outdoor heater and two additional small seating areas.

Both bedrooms have wardrobe storage, shuttered windows, pillows and blankets. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and Bedroom 2 has a double bed. The bathroom has a clawfoot bath with an overhead shower, gold tapware and a long timber vanity. A washing machine is beneath the vanity; a dryer, hair dryer and iron are also available.

The cottage has a private entrance and parking for one vehicle. Lenah Valley cafes, pubs and grocers are a five-minute drive away; Hobart is 17 minutes away. Water comes from a tank. Wi-Fi is available, but an NBN connection is not possible.
