Beauty Point Cottages

Beauty Point: The oldest deepwater port in the area, it was developed to serve the nearby Beaconsfield gold mines. The town serves as a good starting point for exploring some of northern Tasmania's natural attractions. Beauty Point is the main teaching campus of the Australian Maritime College and is also the location of the start of the Australian Three Peaks Race, held each Easter. This endurance event involves sailing to three mountain ranges around Tasmania, then having a team of runners run up and down the mountain.
Special Features: Beauty Point Lookout - Just off the Main Road is Beauty Point Lookout. There is plenty of room to park the car and take in the delightful scenery. Next to the car park is a lovely area with native trees and picnic tables. Views of The Tamar River, Australian Maritime College, Tamar Marina, Yacht Club, Bell Bay. Don't forget your camera.
Beauty Point Cottages Accommodation are a convenient base to explore the attractions of the Tamar Valley as well as Launceston and the entire North East region.You will feel part of our peaceful country garden and the expansive water views - a great start to your adventures in Beauty Point, Tamar Valley and beyond.Watch the sun rise over the Tamar River whilst enjoying breakfast in your beautiful cottage or cozy homestead ensuite. At night, dine at an award winning restaurant within easy walking distance or have your own BBQ overlooking the picturesque Tamar River in our Garden Gazebo. Beauty Point Cottages is only 1 hour's drive to the Devonport Ferries and Launceston Airport.

Chris, Jenice, Robyn and Carmel stayed in the lager 2 bedroom cottage.
Just imagine sitting on these garden benches and clearing the mind of the stresses of the day.

We were informed by the owners that this property was originally an apple orchard and the machine under the shelter is an original apple peeler and corer.

On the last morning at Beauty Point Pomona Cottages we decided to have breakfast on the patio.
