The neighbourhood
One of Tasmania’s historic towns, the picturesque Evandale sits on the banks of the South Esk River, 18 kilometres south of Launceston. Named after early colonial explorer and Surveyor-General George Evans, the town is famous for its late-Georgian and early Victorian buildings with relatively untouched streetscape. It also hosts a popular Sunday market and is the annual World Penny Farthing Championships, along with the Glover Prize, named after the father of Australian landscape painting, John Glover.

Many attractions, amenities and eateries are right at your doorstep! The Clarendon Arms hotel serves up British Pub style meals. This hotel arguably has one of the best beer gardens in northern Tasmania. Additional noteworthy eateries include, No.10, the Evandale Cafe, and the Prince of Wales Hotel. The cottage is also within walking distance to a small convenient store, newsagent, post office and right near the Anteiku antique store.

The beloved Evandale market is not to be missed, with unique creations and hidden gems every Sunday, located on Logan Road. The market holds a lovely country charm, providing a great range of fresh local produce, tasty food vans and stalls with local crafts, bric-a-brac, and even pony rides! Make your way to Morven Park, where you can take a ride on a light rail steam train, perfect for the little ones to enjoy.

Only a short drive away, is the Clarendon Estate. Considered to be Australia's grandest rural colonial estate, this three-storey mansion sits across seven hectares of parklands, situated on the South Esk River banks. Filled with photo collections and museums, and surrounded by stunning gardens and old farm buildings, this estate is the perfect representation of our strong historical roots.

The town is additionally only a short drive away from the Launceston airport, conveniently ensuring that you can access your flights with ease, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the Launceston City.
