Girls weekend
Due to Covid, our yearly interstate trip was cancelled, so instead of cancelling our weekend all together, we opted to visit parts of our own state... the Beachside retreat was perfect to accommodate 8 of us. everything that we needed was there.. very relaxing weekend... great place to consider

Unbelievable water views
The photos don’t do the beautiful location of this property full justice, it is absolutely incredible! The house itself is perfect for a family gathering with lots of space and light, lovely bedrooms and bathrooms and a fantastic well equipped kitchen. The water views are the jewel in the crown of this magnificent place, with a little path down to the beach where small children can collect seashells and paddle. The agents were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place for a memorable holiday.

Fabulous luxury beachside house
We stayed in this house with our 4 kids and it was the perfect set up for a relaxing family weekend. Amazing water views. Fantastic beach access (maybe 20 meters down a path to a protected beach). The beach has a sandy area for swimming (with pontoon) and rock pools and small sandstone caves/ cliffs at each end for kids to explore.
The house is modern and has plenty of room including 2 living areas. Well stocked kitchen for home cooking. There is also a cafe a short walk along the beachside track which has decent coffee and pastries.
Easy access from Hobart for a relaxing getaway.
Highly recommend this house and location.
