Beautiful area
Guests love this home’s scenic location.
While Ginkgo Cottage Apartment is located in the heart of the historic village of Evandale, it is very quiet, cosy and private. Nestled in a corner of the host's cottage garden, the Apartment has a private entrance, deck and garden.
It is a 5-minute drive from the Launceston airport and just a 3-minute walk from local pubs, cafes, antique and retail shops - and the much-loved Sunday market.

The main room of the Apartment contains a kitchenette, dining and lounge area. The kitchen, with small cooktop, microwave, benchtop oven and fridge, is equipped for simple cooking.
This area is furnished with antiques, a comfy couch, arm chair, dining table and TV.
The separate bedroom, with queen size bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe and suitcase racks, opens to a bathroom with shower, loo and heated towel rails.
Shampoos, conditioner, body wash and hair dryer are supplied.
An iron and ironing board are provided and guests can access laundry facilities in the host's nearby home if needed.
An effective heat pump ensures guests are warm in winter and can cool down in summer.

Guest access
Guests have sole access to Gingko Apartment and it's private garden and deck.
Guests can park on the quiet street and access the Apartment via a well-lit and undercover private entrance.
While the Apartment is set in a flat environment, the bathroom is not large enough to facilitate wheel chair access.
Other things to note
Guests will be welcomed by Jo and Stuart, and co-hosted by their four-legged Westie helpers, Griffin and Alfie.
While Alfie and Griffin are confined to the host's private garden but will always enjoy any pats and hugs offered by dog-friendly guests.
Why the name 'Ginkgo' Cottage you ask? The Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species in the world. It is the sole survivor of the ancient group of trees that date back to before dinosaurs roamed the earth! It's so ancient, the species is known as a living fossil.
We have a Ginkgo near our front gate!
