Built in 1925 by Harold Millington for his wife and three daughters, 'Millingtons House' is a stone’s throw from the riverside and five minutes from the ocean beach that bears his name. The house captures daylight from every compass point in spacious rooms that still have their original features.
Millingtons can sleep up to six people across three bedrooms, two spacious queen bedrooms and a single/double bunk in the third bedroom - perfect for couples or small family getaways. You will find upholstered sofas in both queen bedrooms to pull the sandals on with ease or just read a book by the window with the ocean and river breeze flowing through the linen curtains.
We have a fresh new bathroom with a gorgeous overhead rain shower, free standing bath tub and one toilet - we provide beautiful Tasmanian owned and made Lentara Grove bodywash, shampoo and conditioner and fluffy soft, large Quoin towels which you're also welcome to take to the beach when you're staying.
The bathroom sits at the end of a hallway and the bedrooms flow off either side - there is a door which can be shut to the hallway which connects you to the open plan living, kitchen and dining space. This ensures you can rest in complete peace and comfort.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all of the amenities you need to comfortably reside here for days on end - fridge, kettle, coffee machine, tea pot, electric oven, stove top and dishwasher. We provide a simple complimentary pantry of muesli, pasta, olive oil, a complimentary Herbert & Co jar of honey which goes perfectly with the croissants we provide to you for your first breakfast delivered by Wattlebanks Cafe up the street, salt and pepper, sugar, teas and ground coffee for guests. For the bigger items we encourage you to drop in to a supermarket on your way to stock up on any provisions like milk, bread and any other culinary tassie delights you might want to cook up whilst at Millingtons. We are a short 5 minute walk to the local shops and cafes where you'll find the IGA which is open daily until 7pm, Wattlebanks Cafe also provide fantastic heat and eat meals you can arrange to have stocked in the fridge prior to your arrival.
There is a gorgeous stone top island bench with stools for casual dining in the kitchen or a 6 seater dining table for a more formal setting. The living area has a comfortable three seater sofa and ottoman with additional armchairs and a Samsung frame TV to have some time out watching your favourite shows, alternatively (and my favourite) there is a sunroom that flows on from the living area which is a discrete place to curl up and lose yourself in a book, lying on the sun drenched window seats for hours on end.
We have a fully enclosed front and backyard - the back is completely private and perfect for dining alfresco around our 6 seater outdoor dining setting on those warmer evenings. A perfect spot to enjoy your complimentary G&T when you arrive! You will also find out the back, the external laundry - though simple in appearance you will have full use of a Fisher & Pykle washer and dryer units with detergent provided.
