HENDERSONS is a beautiful, homely federation home, situated along the lovely Tamar River in Gravelly Beach. The heart of the Tamar Valley Wine Region, Northern Tasmania.
The original part of the house is over 100 years old. We originally renovated in 2014 and we chose to keep some of the unique characteristics with own decorative touch. We hope you love Hendersons, just like we do.
Our home is perfect for all the seasons. It has a cosy, warm feeling in the cooler months & in Summer it is light, fresh & airy.
When booking, the whole house is exclusively all yours. It is great value, offering a huge yard, front and back, along with one of the main features, the pool. It is an excellent location along the Tamar Valley in Gravelly Beach.
Hendersons home has a large living area perfect for a comfortable stay, offering 4 couches. The dining is in a separate room, offering the afternoon sun. It is a bright sunny space seating 8 comfortably. The breakfast bar is close by and the kitchen is easily accessible, with the essentials at arm’s reach for your convenience. There is an oven & electric cooktop perfect for those who wish to make their own meals. We provide a dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods. There is also a large fridge & freezer.
The view from the front verandah is just gorgeous overlooking the palm trees across the road along the Tamar River. It is a perfect spot for making memories and watching the sunrise with loved ones.
Hendersons has 4 spacious bedrooms housing a total of 9 guests with a mixture of both hard and soft mattresses to suit most. Bedrooms 1 & 2 are at the front of the house with views of the Tamar River and facing east, waking up to the morning sunrise.
Bedroom 1 has a king-sized bed, TV & DVD player. Bedroom 2 has a queen-sized bed and a TV. Bedroom 3 also has a queen-sized bed and bedroom 4 has a double bed and single bed.
For Winter all bedrooms have heating, Bedrooms 1 & 2 have a heat pump each and bedrooms 3 & 4 have panel heaters. All beds have electric blankets and extra blankets are available if required. This will keep you nice and cosy. There is a heat pump in the lounge room as well for your comfort.
For Summer, air conditioners are in bedrooms 1 & 2 & in the lounge room as well. They are a reverse cycle heat pump so make sure they are on the setting.
The house has two bathrooms, both with heat lighting & fans. Bathroom 1 has a separate toilet and bathroom 2 houses the laundry. A washing machine and dryer are both provided for your convenience.
Our large concrete swimming pool is perfect for the Tasmanian Summer. It is approximately 12m long x 4.5m wide and ranges from 1.6m in the shallow end to 2m in the deep end. Please note the pool is ONLY solar heated, therefore the temperature of the pool is up to the unpredictable Tasmanian weather. The pool is available for your use all year round, but please note we do only run the solar heating from October through to March as that's when its most effective. For optimal use, we suggest using the pool between the months of December to February, where Tassie's overnight temperature helps maintain the warmer water.
We also provide some pool games, noodles and equipment for our guests to enjoy. It is a salt water chlorinated pool. Children must be always supervised.
We are perfectly located on the Tamar Valley Wine Route. Enjoy the scenic drive where you'll come across several cellar doors. We can suggest a few cellar doors if requested.
