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.

Distressing

The outdoor lawn and access to the river is beautiful and nicely maintained. The smell of dampness and dust inside caused us to feel uncomfortable and we didnt stay. I have lictures of the thick layers of dust onthe ornaments fron the kitchen bench, the lanterns, the saddle, the velvet curtains, the kitche curtains covering the kitchen utensils, the cracked paint in corners of fhe wall and so pn.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic, character filled property set in such a beautiful location. It's not for those seeking ultimate cleanliness and new style interior but for us it had the atmosphere we enjoy. We look forward to returning in the future

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.

This is a beautiful location, the house is very old and eclectic but well kept. Very suitable for our family. Fans are needed for hot days as the house can get stuffy.

Good spot

Amazing location, beautiful. It is a rustic and eclectic house. A real tassie shack, a very relaxed vibe. It was good to read the description and reviews to know how to plan accordingly. Great communication and we were accomodated for, thank you. I would bring some kayaks next time to get on the river.

Fancy catching a fish?

Our little boy caught his first fish from the jetty at the back. They fairly jump out of the water. Second to none in location: also near Hastings cave and hot springs as well as Ida Bay historic railway.. The owner is delightful to communicate with. Highly recommended.

Fantastic house and view

we had such a great time at the Mill house. Wood fires were enough to keep us warm, great beds and very welcome electric blankets. The property is beautiful, it must be spectacular in the spring/summer. We caught a few fish-salmon and trout, on the river , it was just magic on the dock. Loved the geese, even the naughty one. very quiet and secluded, but still close enough to drive to everything we wanted to see in the Huon valley. Thanks for a wonderful week.

A beautiful stay right on the river

We had a fantastic time in Lune River. The accommodation is just as described. Upon arrival we were greeted by a pair of geese under the plum tree. There are many plum trees with delicious fruit ready for eating (early February). The house is rustic, spacious and right on the river. The fire was ready to light which was lovely during the rainy part of our stay. The deck is literally over the river and a fantastic place to relax. We headed down the road and did the walk at Cockle Beach to the southern most point of Australia. We loved our stay at Lune River and would definitely come back here next time.

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

Improving

This is the second stay our team has had at the Lune Mill River House in a stunning location. Our comments from the previous review still applies, but in short - prepare for an old draughty house on the river side. Bring sleeping bags if you are sensitive to the cold. We set our expectations accordingly, and had a wonderful stay. All team members were very satisfied with the accommodation and would book again. Note: any location this remote is subject to power outages. We have not encountered this during our two stays, but we prepared for this by bringing our own portable 240V power station.
