About the host

Hosted by Mark Swanson

Host profile image
We relocated from Western Australia to enjoy the fantastic relaxed lifestyle Tasmania provides. The weather is very mild all year round and if it gets chilly we have the wood burning stove to keep us warm. We have quick access to the beach and the mountains, with Melbourne only an hour's flight away.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property as it offers a peaceful semi-rural location just minutes from the water and only 6 kilometres from the shopping centre, cafes, ATM etc

What makes this property unique

Plenty of parking too so you can bring the boat and bikes too.
