beachbreak is our favourite winter break destination in Tasmania. We recently enjoyed another sensational long weekend at the house, staring out at the beautiful view.
The property is scrupulously clean, very well presented, nicely stocked with utensils, herbs and spices in the kitchen. There is an electric hob and oven, as well as a microwave and large toaster.
The heating works well in the winter so it's a lovely cosy place to stay with all the windows providing plenty of natural light.
One bedroom upstairs (where you would put the kids if you brought them) and one downstairs. The upstairs bedroom has a walk down a spiral staircase to the toilet and bathroom, and is right beside the living area so possibly not great if somebody needs to go to bed early and is a light sleeper. We had no such problem!
You hardly need a car once you get there (and in fact you can get there on the public bus) as there are miles of walking trails, four beaches and a shop within close walking distance - so we never leave the neighbourhood.
The shop does a bit of fast food including fish and chips some nights, which is a great option.
If you want to get out a bit further, the rest of the peninsula is spectacular including Cremorne Beach, Clifton Beach and Hope Beach. And the drive back to Hobart is around 45 minutes if you really want to hit MONA or Salamanca Market.
Chris and Jane were kind enough to arrange a late checkout for us, so we were able to relax on our last day right up till it was time to leave.
