LOCATION
An easy 50 minute drive from Launceston, on the North East Coast of Tasmania, Weymouth is a seaside destination surrounded by beautiful undulating rural properties...sheep, cattle, vines.... with views of Mts Arthur and Barrow on approach.
Wildlife abounds...you're sure to see birds of prey, echidnas, wombats and wallabies, perhaps dolphins and pelicans and if you're lucky, the elusive Tassie Devil.
Surrounded by some of Tasmania's premium vineyards and cellar doors, there's ample opportunity to find a good drop to share at the shack.
ACTIVITIES
Great for peaceful getaways or for families…there’s lots to explore!
Swimming at the beach or in the river, a calm, sheltered alternative.
Heavenly beach and river walks, with an extensive network of tracks, suitable for cycling too.
Kayaking, SUPing (stand up paddle-boarding), boating, fishing, tennis.
BBQ on the river’s edge.
