Welcome to your own peaceful pocket of Tasmania’s East Coast. Set amongst the beautiful rural and coastal landscape of Dolphin Sands, this spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines the privacy of a country escape with easy access to the beach and water, all approximately 10 minutes from Swansea.

The property is particularly well suited to families, two families travelling together or groups looking for plenty of room to spread out. With generous indoor and outdoor spaces, flexible sleeping for up to nine guests and separate areas where adults and children can relax, it’s a fantastic base for an extended East Coast holiday.

The heart of the home is the beautiful open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Timber floorboards, warm ply-lined ceilings and the home’s striking skillion roof give the space plenty of character, while large windows and doors connect the interior with the surrounding natural landscape. There’s plenty of room to prepare dinner, gather around the dining table, play games or settle in together after a day on the coast.

The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering, with generous preparation space, an electric cooktop, oven and dishwasher. There’s also an espresso coffee machine, with a starter supply of coffee pods provided. If you’re a coffee enthusiast or staying for several days, we recommend bringing additional compatible pods.

The main living area includes comfortable seating, a TV and Wi-Fi, while heating is very well covered for cooler East Coast weather. A large heat pump and wood heater service the main living area, and each bedroom has its own panel heater, helping keep everyone comfortable throughout the cooler months.

Firewood is supplied for the indoor wood heater. You’ll also find plenty of natural kindling around the property, including small sticks, bark, leaves and other dry natural material that can be collected to help get the fire started.

There are two bathrooms in total, with the second bathroom being wheelchair-accessible.

A dedicated laundry provides a washing machine and dryer, making longer stays and family holidays easy. An iron, ironing board, vacuum and basic cleaning equipment can also be found in the hallway cupboard.

Outside is where the Dolphin Sands setting really comes into its own. The home features a beautiful deck overlooking the surrounding landscape and towards the water, with outdoor furniture providing a lovely place to sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet. There is also an outdoor fire pit for use when seasonal fire restrictions allow. Dolphin Sands is a high fire-risk area, and outdoor fires are strictly prohibited between October and April. Outside these months, fires may only be used when current fire restrictions and weather conditions allow.

For quieter days at home, there are plenty of board games, card games and reading material available. Combined with the additional TV area, spacious living zone and outdoor spaces, there’s plenty to keep families entertained without needing to leave the property.

Please take care when using the rear bifold doors. They are specialised doors and should be opened and closed gently and never forced.

Guests staying on a Tuesday night may also be asked to wheel the rubbish and recycling bins to the end of the driveway and into the cul-de-sac for council collection.
