We are passionate about historic homes in Devonport and we have spend the last 18months bringing Mersey River Cottage back to its former glory. There were originally 4 houses in this group built by Silas Bradley. We want to people stay and experience this little gem in its original size and enjoy its location and views. We have been hosting guests at our first property ( Silwood Apartment) for the last 18months and have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. It is very important for our guests to have a positive Tasmanian experience and a feeling of wanting to return.
