Welcome to Glen Bothy Estate — a private retreat tucked deep within the storybook folds of the Tamar Valley wine region. Set on acres of soft pastures and rolling hills, this enchanting haven weaves together quiet luxury, stillness, and the earthy magic of a working vineyard.
Don’t wait too long to claim your stay. Glen Bothy Estate is a place where memories linger like the last notes of a cherished day, and where you and your favourite people will find a little enchantment you’ll never forget.
Though it may feel as if you’ve wandered a million miles from civilisation, the estate rests just a dreamy 10-minute drive from Launceston City — close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel utterly enchanted.
Guests are invited to unwind in complete serenity, with direct easement access to the tranquil North Esk River — perfect for simply soaking up the peaceful natural surrounds.
Thoughtfully transformed from a humble cellar door into an expansive, refined residence, Glen Bothy Estate offers an escape like no other. From the moment you meander down the winding driveway, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking, panoramic views across the Tamar Valley.
Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into the home’s generous open-plan living domain. Designed for effortless relaxation, the sun-washed east-facing living area spills out onto broad paved terraces overlooking the rolling vines.
Inside, two sumptuous couches invite you to choose your favourite vantage point — be mesmerised by the flickering glow of the wood heater, curl up with a book as the fire quietly warms the room, settle in for a movie, or simply enjoy long conversations with loved ones while gazing through enormous picture windows framing the sweeping landscape.
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen will leave even the world’s finest chefs wanting for nothing. Imagine preparing a celebratory meal in this exquisite space while friends and family gather at the island bench or chat animatedly around the dining table, buzzing with excitement. Whether you dine indoors or slide open the full-height doors to the sun-drenched outdoor dining area, every meal is a moment to savour.
A separate cosy sitting nook is ideal for quiet morning conversations before the house awakens — a coffee in hand, warmed by the gas log fire, setting the tone for a perfect day. Or step outside onto the outdoor lounge and breathe in the drifting jasmine fragrance and the freshest country air imaginable.
The private sleeping wing features four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own pristine ensuite. All offer built-in storage, while the master suite boasts a generous walk-in robe. Every room captures uninterrupted views of the vineyard, lush pastures, and distant mountains, ensuring a restful and immersive retreat.
A stylish main bathroom and a practical boot room complement the home’s thoughtful layout, making it wonderfully suited to couples, families, or groups seeking both space and comfort.
Out the back, guests can enjoy leisurely alfresco lunches, a wood-fired pizza oven, and a gas BBQ — perfect for long afternoons spent in the sunshine.
And then there’s the estate’s signature indulgence: a romantic wood-fired outdoor soaking tub with mesmerising vineyard vistas. Nothing more needs to be said.
As the oldest vineyard in the region, the property spans approximately 5.5 hectares under vine, producing grapes for many award-winning wines. As it is a working vineyard, we kindly ask guests not to wander along the rows to preserve the integrity of the crop.
A rare harmony of luxury accommodation, rich history, and natural beauty — this unique vineyard haven promises an unforgettable Tasmanian escape.
