Lune Mill River House

Lune Mill house, Lune Mill Road in the far South

Only one of its kind. Once the timber mill manager's house. On the edge of world heritage wilderness and beautiful waterways. Absolute waterfront, perched on the banks of one of the world's most pristine rivers.

Rustic but comfortable with power, plenty of hot water, digital tv. 3 bedrooms 1 double, 1 family room( queen bed and bunks) 1 bedroom with bunks (king single) . Up to 8 persons but prefer couples. Prefer you to bring own linen as we are on tank water however we have an emergency supply. Total peace and quiet.

Do not be expecting luxury, it is not , it is our holiday home with gum boots in the corner. If you are after night life and restaurants this is not for you. If you are after 5 star luxury this is not for you. If you are a serious bushwalker, caver, etc , fossiker, or like us, just want to chill out by the open fire or fish from the jetty it is just the spot. Fancy getting cooked? Enjoy our wood-heated outdoor bath by the riverside.

NEW Also now available some weekends.



8 km from Hastings caves and hot Springs,
Southport beach, Cockle Creek, Recherche Bay.
1 .1/2 hours south of Hobart on the scenic route via Huonville and Dover

Unfortunately we are not pet or party friendly.

Sunrise Stay at Lune Mill River House

We had a wonderful few days staying at the Lune Mill River House. It was great to wake up, open the curtains, and see the sun rise on the river from the bed. The view of the river was amazing.

Adventure

We understood it was a 100 year old house that was rustic so we were prepared for anything. Loved our stay. Comfortable beds and good showers so no complaints. Caught a fish from the jetty. I would love to do the Reno's on the house while keeping the character of the house. We loved the seclusion and quiet. It was all quite an adventure.

Beautiful location

We booked this accommodation as a 4-day fieldwork base. The mill house has its idiosyncrasies. As long as you set your expectations for camping conditions in a remote part of the world, you will find the structure to be sufficient. The location is spectacular and the jetty is very impressive. All team members expressed their satisfaction with their stay and would book it again for similar work.

In two minds

The house is located in the most beautiful of settings, surrounded by flowers, trees and the glorious Lune River. Standing on the back deck watching birds float past, knowing you’re miles from anyone else is an incredible experience. One which we adored. However while the description of the house as rustic is absolutely correct there are several things which are worrying. First is the electricity. The house is not insulated and comes with several electrical heaters as well as two wood fires, however if you have more than two heaters on at once all the electricity goes off, meaning you need to carefully choose where you want warmed. But if you want the kettle and two heaters on, the electricity goes off. If you want the kettle and the microwave the electricity goes off. Someone urgently needs to get this checked as it may lead to a fire. Second is that while having two wood heaters is great, the glass in one is smashed meaning it’s dangerous to use. If used and one of the glass shards falls out an ember could escape from the fire and lead to loss of life. There were few logs ready for the fire and there was only a very small tomahawk to split wood with. Third is the bathroom - only one roll of toilet paper with about 6 sheets on it (no spare) and a hair dryer with a European plug. A heater, but if you use it the electricity goes off. The listing mentioned wifi, dish washer and other conveniences, which either don’t exist or don’t work. Yes the place is rustic but please remov

We absolutely loved our 5 nights at Lune Mill River House over New Years. We were just a family of 4, but the house would also be suitable for 2 famillies. Yes, it is basic and a bit old, but that's what makes it so real. It was also a step back in time with old photos on the walls, and even multiple tape and cd players! We didn't use these but it was fun to explain to the kids how we used to listen to music. Sitting on the deck with a morning coffee looking across the river with birds to make the only sounds was just bliss. For those into fishing this might be a good spot too. Thank you for making this house available for holiday rental, it feels like it carries many good memories and is still making more.
