Hazelcreek Cottages

Both of the Hazelcreek Cottages have a comfy living area in the main open-plan room of the house, and here you can relax on the sofa in front of the wall-mounted, flat-screen television. However, once again it’s the exterior which is more of a draw, with its fenced garden and view of the lake giving you an attractive and peaceful place to relax.

Laundry equipment, free parking space, luggage storage and free use of a cot if you have a small child with you are all included with this smoke-free, pet-free property. The owners are most helpful and are on hand if you need them.

When it comes time to stock up on provisions, the township of Exeter is close by (two minutes by car), where you can find supermarkets, a bakery, a cafe, a chemist’s and a selection of speciality shops. A little further afield there are several restaurants if you don’t fancy cooking for yourself.

The beautiful spring-fed lake which Hazelcreek Cottages overlook is visited by a great deal of birds, so the ornithologists among you will be right at home. There is also a good chance of seeing a platypus swimming around. In the Exeter region you can find the world-famous lavender farm, the wine producers of the Tamar Valley, reminders of the region’s gold-mining days in the form of Grubb Shaft Gold Mine Museum, cruises on the river and several beaches, with the city of Launceston less than half an hour’s drive away.
