It showcases spacious interiors flooded with beautiful natural light, and a spectacular entertainers’ area that can be utilised year-round. Explore the city’s renowned attractions – namely Cataract Gorge Reserve, QV Museum, and Tamar Valley Wine Region – all within easy reach. This spacious retreat comes with a BBQ, chefs’ kitchen, internal laundry and dedicated study. As you arrive at the property you will be greeted by a lush green entry way leading to the front door. Whilst the property does enjoy an elevated position once entering at street level you will be greeted to the most amazing views over kanamaluka/Tamar River and only have 3 steps down to the main living area. Watch yachts bobbing across the river as the sky changes hue from this spectacular river retreat. Equally designed for families or couples, it combines spacious, contemporary interiors with a covered all-weather terrace. Dine while taking in the view, choosing from the covered balcony or a large table beside the kitchen. Stylishly appointed, the kitchen centres around an island bench with plenty of space to prepare meals, socialise or take things slow up at the breakfast bar. In the living room, guests can get cosy in front of the smart TV or relax in the reading nook over a good book. A seperate rumpus room is perfect for the kids to play in or watch movies on the second smart TV. Those on a working holiday can make use of a dedicated study space with a proper desk and chair. Each of the three bedrooms has been beautifully designed to encourage a good night’s sleep. The sumptuous master highlights a queen-sized bed, contemporary ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and a walk-in wardrobe for storing your belongings and the most amazing free-standing bath. Bedrooms two and three each boast spectacular views straight from their one queen-sized and one double-sized beds. After a long day relax in the main living room or sit back in the seperate media room watching movies or binge watch your favourite show. Refresh within the main bathroom with shower and vanity. Enjoy the convenience of internal laundry facilities, including a washing machine and dryer. Off-street parking is provided for two cars. The garage is private and not available to guests. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourself. Please make yourself at home! We are available by phone from 8 am to 8 pm if you have any questions during your stay. We would love it if you could message us when you have arrived safely and also a message on leaving is appreciated so we can clean as early as possible for our next guests. Please please let me know as soon as you can if there are any issues at all so I have a chance to take the appropriate action to ensure your stay is it should be - totally stress-free and relaxing!! I'm not always able to personally check the house before your arrival - I am heavily reliant on my housekeeper and I need to know as soon as possible if you and therefore I have been let down in any way by the presentation of River Haven. All the attractions of Launceston are within easy reach, including Cataract Gorge, The Queen Victoria Museum and Gallery, and the vibrant Harvest Community Farmers' Market, held on Saturdays. Launceston is the gateway to the stunning wine trails of the Tamar Valley, and around two hours' drive from Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park – home to the world-famous Overland Track. We do recommend you have a hire car as public transport is not that frequent or easy to access. Airport: Approximately 20 minutes drive to the airport. Public Transport: A short 10 minute walk to the nearest bus stop. Please read and respect the house rules. This is very much appreciated, thank you! Before your arrival, we will also share a house guide that contains instructions on how to access the property, use certain appliances, and anything else you may need to know. Dear guests, thank you very much for looking after this home and respecting the house rules. Please answer the pre-booking message truthfully at the time of booking. This is to help us get to know you to ensure the space suits your needs. Any misrepresentation may result in immediate cancellation or eviction. We have a strict no party policy. Do not host parties or events that would disrupt the peace and comfort of my home, or neighbours. Please treat my neighbours with respect by keeping noise to a minimum and within acceptable levels. Kindly observe the 10 am check-out time so our cleaners have enough time to thoroughly and safely prepare the space for the next guest in line with Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning standards. Please leave the home neat & tidy. We may need to charge guests for additional housekeeping time if our team is required to stay longer. If smoking occurs in the property, we will have to charge guests to have the furnishings and carpet deodorised. Please try not to misplace keys or fobs; any replacement fees will need to be passed onto our guests. Thank you very much and we hope you enjoy your stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,938 square feet ## Similar properties ![Lunch and dinner served](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/1000000/997700/997613/d5e58d98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments Launceston CBD - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 8.4 Very good 1,001 reviews CA $117 CA $129 total includes taxes & fees Apr 19 - Apr 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=997613&PinnedHotelID=997613&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/7000000/6610000/6609600/6609509/2b92549f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hideaway on George Launceston CBD - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Housekeeping 9.2 Wonderful 894 reviews CA $144 CA $159 total includes taxes & fees Apr 27 - Apr 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-27&endDate=2026-04-28&selected=6609509&PinnedHotelID=6609509&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Buffet](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/520000/519200/519154/1ea19541.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country Club Tasmania Prospect Vale - Pool - Hot tub - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 1,001 reviews CA $130 CA $143 total includes taxes & fees Apr 2 - Apr 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=519154&PinnedHotelID=519154&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121830000/121827400/121827352/dcf750e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elevated Modern Escape with Tennis Court Access Legana - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-11&endDate=2026-04-12&selected=121827352&PinnedHotelID=121827352&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24260000/24255400/24255329/58a753dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cherry Top Lodging - Eagle Park Lilydale - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-11&endDate=2026-04-12&selected=24255329&PinnedHotelID=24255329&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118660000/118656100/118656039/b5f42d7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elegant Beauty Point Home with WiFi & Fireplace West Tamar - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-11&endDate=2026-04-12&selected=118656039&PinnedHotelID=118656039&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118230000/118222900/118222872/888621a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk To City & Hospital South Launceston - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $160 CA $351 total includes taxes & fees Mar 31 - Apr 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=118222872&PinnedHotelID=118222872&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73260000/73259100/73259062/4a7e55b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Character cottage on CBD fringe Launceston CBD - Kitchen - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-11&endDate=2026-04-12&selected=73259062&PinnedHotelID=73259062&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44760000/44754100/44754052/da101340.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 61 on Cameron in Launceston.

Dec 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outstanding and Then Some This house became home during our 5 week stay. Beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. My husband set up in the office and I found the media room quiet and still. The location was ideal; overlooking the Tamar River. It was also 5-10 minutes to a main road, giving us time to adjust to driving on the left side. There’s a public lap pool within two miles with an incredibly high and curvy slide. Plus a large children’s playground with some exercise platforms for adults. There’s also a major grocery store within that two mile radius. Two things made this house especially wonderful. One was the bed; incredibly comfortable, the mattress enveloping you with exquisite linens. The second thing was the wallabies. Every night, between 8:30 and 9 pm, we’d watch for the wallabies coming down the street. Our first sighting was two wallabies hoping down the middle of the street. On our final night, a wallaby sat in the front yard for about a half-hour. Our daughter and her family live in Ravenswood; 20 or so minutes away. We plan to visit yearly and will look to stay in this house again and again. ##### Joan O. Stayed 34 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### N E.
