Charming Convict-Built Cottage

Welcome to our enchanting self-contained cottage, a true piece of history nestled in the heart of historic Pontville. Built by convicts in 1830, this unique retreat combines rustic charm with modern comforts, offering a one-of-a-kind experience. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Tasmania with exposed stone walls and original architecture and explore nearby historical sites, local wineries, and the stunning Tasmanian countryside. The space The Coach House sits proud on the circa 1830 property called Winton Maison. A rural property nestled among farm land and bush land. With unhindered views to Mount Kunyani (Mt Wellington) and Mount Gulaga (Dromedary mountain ranges), Hobart night line, and sweeping fields of grazing sheep and cattle. The views from the property and the Coach House windows are beautiful. The location is quiet and peaceful with pathways meandering through 2 acres of large canopied Elm trees, and old bountiful fruit and olive trees. Every season brings its own magic in the gardens. There are many follies throughout the property to sit and enjoy mindfulness, or a glass or two of local wine. Adventure by day to the historic town of Richmond, Oatlands or Ross. Indulge in the vast array of award winning Coal and Derwent Valley vineyards. Visit the popular modern art museum at Mona. If whiskey is of interest visit the Lark Estate or perhaps visit New Norfolk and book in at the sensational Agrarian Kitchen Restaurant. All are close by. If you prefer, take a day trip to Port Arthur and Eagle Hawks Nest and return to whittle away the late afternoon at the Winton Well gazebo and enjoy the sunset descend over the mountain ranges. There is much bird life on the property - so if birds are your thing, you're in for a bird watching treat. The Coach House has been lovingly restored with every attempt to retain the original materials. Exposed sandstone walls, flag stone flooring, Huon pine skirtings, hardwood timbers and original fire place hearths exist within a luxurious stay including reverse cycle air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen (complete with some Tassie goodies upon arrival), soft fluffy bath sheets, smart TV with Netflix, a comfy bed with quality linens, robes, quality bathroom accessories and an arrangement of art from renowned Australian artist Richard Dunlop. Your stay is our pleasure at The Coach House. Other things to note The Coach House shares it's bounty with the beautiful and fragile wild life of Tasmania and a bunch of farm rescue animals. We ask that all guests respect the fragility and co-existence with the nature and animals that call Winton Maison home. Thank you.
