The cottage is situated on a highly productive sheep and cattle property, only five minutes’ drive to the bustling township of Whitemark. Green Valley is also on the doorstep of some of the most spectacular beaches, mountains and bush tracks on Flinders including Trousers Point and Fotheringate Bay. If you love to hike then take the Mt Strzelecki challenge – a 756-metre uphill climb that overlooks Green Valley and has stunning views across Bass Strait, and as far as mainland Tasmania on a clear day. Green Valley’s secluded cottage garden is the perfect place to chill and enjoy your time on this exquisite island. The fully equipped kitchen is a joy to cook in. The large, open plan living space is light-filled, offering views of the garden and the farm. The sunroom is a calm and beautiful space for reading and relaxing, and has a glass sliding door onto the deck. The property is fitted with reverse cycle air conditioning and also has a wood-burning heater for cooler evenings. The house has two generous queen-sized bedrooms and a third with twin singles. Beds are all fitted with designer 100 per cent cotton bed linen, electric blankets and hotel quality mattresses and doonas. There are two bathrooms – one with a shower and heated towel rail and another with a bath - with Sheridan towels along with body wash, shampoo and conditioner, as well as a hairdryer. Fresh flowers from the garden have been beautifully arranged by the owner and placed in every room of the house, along with magazines for your enjoyment. Arrive to the smell of freshly made bread and open the fridge to find eggs straight from the owner’s chookhouse. Breakfast is provided for the first morning including muesli, milk, condiments, tea and coffee. There is also a laundry, BBQ, picnic equipment, iron, and board games. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the bay ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

All very clean, everything you need and a homemade loaf of bread and next day's brekkie on arrival. Beautiful spacious gardens in a rural setting but only 5 mins from town. Close to beaches and Mt Strzelecki. One of our best ever adult family holidays. Thanks heaps to our fantastic hosts. ##### Jim M. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kym R. 17 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ultra quiet, clean, comfortable, well setup house House is beautifully setup with everything provided in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc. There are no close neighbours or road noise, merely the many native birds providing a soundtrack. Bed is comfortable, garden is pretty and the trees surrounding the house are an excellent wind break (wind is, as expected, a constant companion on the island). The hosts leave fresh flowers in all rooms. The property is a short distance from Whitemark with wonderful views of the Strezlecki range. Importantly for summer, the house has fly screens, so you can get a cool breeze and no bugs. There is no WiFi; this made it a digital detox and that was excellent for the break we wanted from our chaotic lives. The Flinders Island locals are friendly and welcoming. The night sky is exceptional, no light pollution and it will take your breath away! ##### Kym R. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole H. 23 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very relaxing This place is just like the photos. The whole house is very modern and clean. Really comfortable beds and lounge area. Great kitchen with everything you need. The house is a very short (5min) drive from Whitemark, where there is a great pub with terrific food if you don’t want to cook. The house is in a great place for sightseeing, as it is very central island, so when day we went north and the next south. The house is surrounded by paddocks but house a nice flower filled garden - so you can totally just switch off and relax. No Wi-Fi, but the Telstra internet is strong if you have data. Recommend hiring a car as town is possibly a bit far to walk each day. ##### Nicole H.
