Olive's Cottage is 2 km further on, on the river side of the road.

The drive to and from Launceston is a very easy and scenic one, on a well-made road. At around 15 minutes, it is very easy to slip into the city for those forgotten provisions, for a wander around the streets, to see a show or film, or to dine at one of the city's excellent restaurants. Olive's Cottage is around 30 minutes from the airport. Approximately, it is a 90 minute drive from the Devonport ferry, 2.5 to 3 hours from Hobart, and 1.5 to 2 hours from Freycinet National Park.
