Lune Mill River House

Lune Mill house, Lune Mill Road in the far South

Only one of its kind. Once the timber mill manager's house. On the edge of world heritage wilderness and beautiful waterways. Absolute waterfront, perched on the banks of one of the world's most pristine rivers.

Rustic but comfortable with power, plenty of hot water, digital tv. 3 bedrooms 1 double, 1 family room( queen bed and bunks) 1 bedroom with bunks (king single) . Up to 8 persons but prefer couples. Prefer you to bring own linen as we are on tank water however we have an emergency supply. Total peace and quiet.

Do not be expecting luxury, it is not , it is our holiday home with gum boots in the corner. If you are after night life and restaurants this is not for you. If you are after 5 star luxury this is not for you. If you are a serious bushwalker, caver, etc , fossiker, or like us, just want to chill out by the open fire or fish from the jetty it is just the spot. Fancy getting cooked? Enjoy our wood-heated outdoor bath by the riverside.

NEW Also now available some weekends.



8 km from Hastings caves and hot Springs,
Southport beach, Cockle Creek, Recherche Bay.
1 .1/2 hours south of Hobart on the scenic route via Huonville and Dover

Unfortunately we are not pet or party friendly.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. A TV comes with digital channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Amazing location ill give it that. Deck onto the river is fantastic. House is rustic but with plenty of rooms. A little bit too pricey given its not exactly luxury but has two bathrooms with good water pressure and most of the beds are comfy. Down side was Not enough wood for wood heater or outside fire and it was green wood, enough for maybe one night so it didnt burn hot enough to warm even the lounge room. Wifi very good considering the remote location

We absolutely loved our 5 nights at Lune Mill River House over New Years. We were just a family of 4, but the house would also be suitable for 2 famillies. Yes, it is basic and a bit old, but that's what makes it so real. It was also a step back in time with old photos on the walls, and even multiple tape and cd players! We didn't use these but it was fun to explain to the kids how we used to listen to music. Sitting on the deck with a morning coffee looking across the river with birds to make the only sounds was just bliss. For those into fishing this might be a good spot too. Thank you for making this house available for holiday rental, it feels like it carries many good memories and is still making more.

Adventure

We understood it was a 100 year old house that was rustic so we were prepared for anything. Loved our stay. Comfortable beds and good showers so no complaints. Caught a fish from the jetty. I would love to do the Reno's on the house while keeping the character of the house. We loved the seclusion and quiet. It was all quite an adventure.
