Botanists Hill

Luxury cottage in Cygnet, Tasmania

High in the hills with views overlooking the idyllic port of Cygnet and beyond, sits a breathtaking cottage for couples or solo travelers—Botanists Hill.

Curated glamour,
nature-inspired

Botanists Hill is not your typical whitewashed Airbnb. The cottage has been exquisitely designed to lift the spirit and delight the senses, with the timeless beauty and splendour of nature that you see outside being tastefully reflected in the spacious open-plan interiors.

Sumptuous relaxation

You’ll find everything you need for a sumptuous and relaxing stay. Stretch out on the sofa with a good book, or chill in the winged chairs by the window taking in the views.

For entertainment we have a Frame TV, a music Frame speaker for soft background music, lots of books, as well as a selection of games, jigsaws, and playing cards stored in the antique meat safe. Or settle in with a glass of wine by the beautiful gas fire.

All the amenities

The generously-sized and appointed kitchen has everything you need to create meals at your home away from home. Sip coffee or wine at the island bench. Dine at the mahogany table. The kitchen has a gas stovetop, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer.

There are teapots and jumbo breakfast tea cups for tea drinkers with plenty of Tasmanian Breakfast tea on hand. For coffee lovers we have organic coffee beans, a grinder, a Bialetti stovetop coffee maker, French press, Breville Nespresso machine, and an espresso machine.

The bathroom features a comfortably-sized walk-in shower and is supplied with Milie Organics shampoo, conditioner, and hand & body wash. A hairdryer is also provided.

A fully-equipped laundry with washer, dryer, and separate sink is available for your use.

A bedroom sanctuary

In the bedroom, style meets relaxation where you can sink into a Goldilocks-perfect king-sized bed, dressed with organic linen sheets.

Enjoy the quiet of the countryside and listen for the soft hoots of the Tasmanian Boobook Owls as you drift into a restful night’s sleep that feels both luxurious and grounded.

A country garden with views to die for…

Outside, the picturesque gardens ensure abundant bird life. Kick back in the Adirondack chairs on the back deck, or take your favorite drink out to the garden arbor and sit amongst the blooms while you gaze at the view.

Look for the soaring Wedge-tailed Eagles, or Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos in the hills at the back of the property. In the gardens surrounding the cottage you might see Tasmania’s beautiful Green Rosellas, Yellow Wattlebirds, and New Holland Honeyeaters. Superb Fairy Wrens are here year-round. Silvereyes, as well as Scarlet and Flame Robins are frequent visitors.

The perfect spot for stargazing

When night falls at Botanists Hill, the Tasmanian sky reveals its true beauty. Far from city lights, the big skies provide unmatched views of the southern constellations. The stars shine brighter, scattered like diamonds across what seems like a deep, endless expanse.

And on special evenings if you’re lucky, you might even catch the beautiful visions of the southern lights, the Aurora Australis—ribbons of green and pink dancing on the horizon.

It’s the perfect spot to wrap up, sit outside, and lose yourself in the quiet wonder of the night.
