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 Hendersons in 2014 and 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.

What a lovely old house we had such a lovely relaxing chilled weekend. So lovely and clean cosy and warm and comfy beds. Only 20 mins. from Launceston and the town of Exeter only Minutes away from the house for supplies. Lovely and quiet. There were only 3 of us but plenty of room for at least 8 adults. We will be back when next in the area again such a lovely view over the Tamar Valley. Cheers Maree. K and Friends

Lovely home
The property has everything you need for a few days. Unfortunately we had loud music being played a lot nearby and roosters at 5am. Add that to hard as a rock beds, we were sadly glad to leave and come home. Husbands broken rib flared up bad because of the beds hardness. And we tried them all. One single bed was very soft. Owners supply some supplies at a cost…pity nearly all we’re out of date?

Warm and cosy winter getaway
Coming to Tasmania in the middle of winter we were expecting a chilly stay but Hendersons was welcoming right from our arrival. With cosy beds complete with electric blankets and convenient heating, we were toasty warm throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed looking out to the river views on misty mornings and were impressed with how large and spacious the property was, easily accommodating our family group. Thanks Shirlene and Clare for a wonderful home away from home!

Lovely riverside home away from home
Beautifully presented home in a lovely location with everything we needed to be comfortable and prepare meals at home. The home is a credit to the owners. Only issue we had was the pool was cold, with the solar heater pump not running long enough during the day to warm the pool. We will defiantly stay here next time we’re in Tassie.

What an enjoyable weekend we had with our family in this gorgeous, historic, well appointed home. It was too cold to swim, but the pool looked very inviting. The only ‘wrinkle’ was that unfortunately the neighbourhood free roaming rooster and hens woke us up very early both mornings.
