Flowerpot Cottage Hideaway | House in Flowerpot
4 Bedroom House in Flowerpot
Waking up to a sunrise over Bruny Island is an experience that stays with you, and here, you can enjoy it right from bed. Flowerpot Cottage is a masterclass in Tasmanian charm. Think infrared saunas, outdoor baths, and views that stretch across the channel. Whether you're here for Mewstone Wines (literally across the road) or exploring the Huon Valley, this 4-bedroom sanctuary is your stylish base. Perfectly positioned for groups seeking luxury and local soul. Stay happy. Stay comfy. Stay Moxxi.
The Space
Flowerpot Cottage isn't just a place to sleep; it’s a beautifully restored experience designed for up to 8 guests. The interior strikes a balance between contemporary polish and heritage warmth. Downstairs, the master bedroom features antique timber and garden views, while the upstairs attic rooms offer cozy sloped ceilings and glimpses of the surrounding woodland and water. Every room is fitted with a queen-sized bed and premium linens to ensure your rest is as deep as the Tasmanian quiet.
Living & Dining
The heart of the home is a fully equipped kitchen featuring filtered water throughout and a coffee maker for those slow Tassie mornings. The living area is centered around comfort with central heating and a Smart TV for evening unwinding. High-speed WiFi (perfect for a "work-from-anywhere" escape) keeps you connected, though the view might just tempt you to put the phone away.
Wellness & Outdoors
Step outside to find our favorite features: an infrared sauna for detoxing after a day of hiking and an outdoor bathtub for soaking under the southern stars. The large deck comes with a Weber BBQ, perfect for grilling local produce while watching the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
