About this property
Cliff-Top Retreat | Ocean Views
Perched above Spring Beach with direct access down the cliff track to the sand, this premium retreat serves up front-row ocean views and a relaxed coastal style. With a designer kitchen, sun-drenched living, and a huge deck made for long lunches, it’s built for getaway mode. Four stylish bedrooms, and plenty of space to unwind—just minutes to Orford and an hour from Hobart. Wake to waves, wander to the beach and settle into the ultimate East Coast escape.
The Space: Sitting high on the bluff with front-row views over Spring Beach, this standout property nails the brief for laidback coastal luxury. With direct access to the shoreline and sweeping ocean views from almost every angle, it delivers the kind of lifestyle that you can only hope for whilst on holidays.
Facing north and designed to maximise light and views, the layout is made for easy holiday living. Mornings start with sunshine and sea air, and long lunches stretch out on the expansive front deck—partially covered and perfectly positioned to soak up the coastline.
Inside, the open-plan living space feels connected and relaxed, with a natural flow between the kitchen, dining, and lounge. The kitchen itself is both bold and practical—featuring high end appliances, a statement island bench, custom joinery, and punchy styling.
There are four generous bedrooms, all with built-ins and designed to maximise light and outlook. Upstairs rooms feature king sized beds and built-in study nooks with picture-perfect views—ideal for working remotely or just enjoying the scenery. The two bedrooms downstairs are furnished with queen beds and comfortable furnishings.
The bathroom includes a double vanity and integrated laundry space, while an additional powder room keeps things easy.
Outside, there’s plenty of off-street parking, a large driveway, and basketball hoop for added fun. The block itself is beautifully landscaped, with lush green lawns that blend effortlessly into the natural coastal surrounds.
This little slice of heaven is just minutes from the sand at Spring Beach on the cliff track. Alternatively, venture south on the track to one of the area's best kept secrets - Stapleton's Beach, an untouched cove with white sand and breathtaking views across the Mercury passage.
This pocket of Spring Beach is tightly held for a reason—it’s private, pristine, and community-focused, while still within easy reach of everything. You’re just 6 minutes to Orford Golf Club, 50 minutes to Hobart Airport, and just over an hour to the city via the scenic East Coast route.
With its unbeatable position, direct beach access and modern coastal design, this is more than just a beach house—it’s a rare chance to secure a front-row seat on one of Tasmania’s most celebrated stretches of coastline.
Guest Access: Guests have full access and private use of the entire property.
Interaction with Guests: Please note I will not be available in person during your stay. I have a management team in place to assist guests with any questions or issues which may arise during their stay.
Neighbourhood Description Spring Beach sits right next to Orford, a laidback coastal town and the starting point for exploring Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. Just an hour from Hobart, Orford has all the essentials including an IGA, a woodfired pizza spot, and a handful of local favourites like Elly’s East Coast Kitchen and Wattlebanks Coastal Café and Providore—perfect for when you don’t feel like cooking. You’ll also find classic country pubs serving up a great parmy.
For beach days, you’re spoilt for choice. Spring Beach and nearby Stapleton’s are ideal for swimming, while East Shelley Beach is a good go-to when the breeze picks up. For something quieter, Rheban Beach is just a 15-minute drive away.
If hiking’s more your pace, the Three Thumbs Track offers incredible views over Orford, Spring Bay and Maria Island. The 4km loop takes about two hours and winds through dry eucalypt forest and pockets of temperate rainforest.
Getting Around: You'll need your own car to explore Spring Beach and the East Coast of Tasmania.
