Pointe Rapide Estate ITAS

What We Love

Take a glimpse back in time at Mount Edgecumbe House on historic Pointe Rapide Estate in the West Tamar Valley wine region. Set on 37 acres of lush land with botanical gardens and a new vineyard, it offers an idyllic setting to completely unwind. Overlooking the Tamar River, this c1835 home has historic significance, being one of the earliest homesteads to be built in Tasmania. Inaccessible until recently, it has been fully refurbished in the finest luxury and is, for the first time, open to the public to enjoy.


Offering complete serenity, the home comprises three individually styled, luxury ensuite bedrooms all dressed with organic bamboo sheets and bespoke wallpapers. The modern kitchen and laundry comes equipped with the latest European appliances. Nestle in by the cosy wood fireplaces and take in the spectacular views or indulge in a long luxurious soak in the clawfoot bath looking out at the views.


Breathe in the fresh air as you meander about the spectacular garden with walking tracks to the water's edge. Historic relics, the dam, an abundance of flora and fauna and the wraparound vineyard are yours to discover.


Meander along the water's edge and watch the local sea eagles soar and the seals play. Spend your days walking or cycling to the nearby vineyards. Check out our local picks Waterton Hall Wines, Iron Pot Bay restaurant and winery, Lavender House Perfumery, Beauty Point and Beaconsfield Heritage Mine.


Mount Edgecumbe House is located just a 45-minute drive from Launceston. A car is recommended for getting around here and there is an abundance of parking space on the property.


Our guests are awe-inspired by the property... 360-degree views, sunrise over the river, sunset over the vineyard, wildlife galore, historic 1835 beautifully restored homestead, convict brick, unique history, botanical gardens, no traffic, no pollution, no noise!
