Self Contained Cottage Accommodation near Derby, Tasmania

Ah Moy is a two-bedroom cottage located in Branxholm, near Derby in Tasmania. This wheelchair-accessible accommodation has a well-equipped kitchen and laundry facility and TV & DVD player in the lounge room. It also has a separate large bathroom and toilet and a private outdoor BBQ area. The cottage is well insulated with double-glazed windows and is heated/cooled with an electric heat pump–all powered by our onsite solar PV, Tesla batteries and micro-hydro generator.

The cottage is ideal for two couples travelling together.

Please note we have a two-night minimum for reservations over public holidays, and three-night minimum over the Christmas to New Year period.

Reduced Rates for Your Longer Holiday Stay

Our current rate for a single night is $200 (1 or 2 persons) and two to three nights is $190 ( 1 or 2 persons). But when you stay four or more nights, the rate reduces. In fact if you stay seven or more nights the rate is only $110 ( 1 or 2 persons)! Each additional person (older than three-years) is charged $30 per night.

Wheelchair Accessible Accommodation, Branxholm

The bathroom and bedrooms are suitable for wheelchair access. For example, extra-wide doorways and large shower area with a seat and hand-held shower. The floor is covered with non-slip vinyl in the kitchen, dining and bathroom areas and low-pile woollen blend carpet in the large bedrooms. Furthermore the car parking is immediately next to the cottage and there are no steps into the cottage. So, it is just what you are looking for near the Blue Derby mountain bike trails!

What Food is Included in the Accommodation?

Your hosts provide the basics for a brew of tea or coffee, including both leaf tea and ground coffee with stove-top espresso. There is a convenient IGA grocery store in Branxholm for you to purchase items for the remainder of your stay. Please let us know if you are expecting a delivery (Graham 040 750 1137).

Hot pot cooking

For a simple low-fuss meal, why not get the slow cook pot going before you head off for the day? Then, at the end of the day pour a glass of your favourite beverage and enjoy a hot casserole! Here is a simple recipe you may like to try — of course you can substitute a vegan alternative for the suggested meat. All ingredients can be purchased from the Branxholm IGA–just 5 minutes away.

Bar-be-Que

There are two wood-fired outdoor bar-be-ques available for all guests– one between the cottages and one down by the river. One wood-fired bar-be-que is available for The Settlers Hut guests, only. There is also a fire pot available near each of these outdoor bar-be-ques.

Gas bar-be-que

For a small fee, a gas-fired bar-be-que is available to each cottage, except the Settlers Hut. Please purchase this option when your book your and pay for your reservation.

Eating out

Of course there are other options for eating out or buying take-away too. You can see where to eat here! During summer months you can even have meals delivered to your door from our local Italian restaurant – minimum order of four.

In St Helens we recommend the East Coast Village Providore (phone: 03 6376 8922). Better still you can place an order for your bar-be-que to be delivered to Tin Dragon Cottages. There is a $10 delivery fee. You will need to pre-order, at least one day ahead for a minimum of four persons. Orders are received at about 11:00 each weekday. Please let us know if you are expecting a delivery (Graham 040 750 1137).
