The Tin Shed Binalong Bay, Bay of Fires, Tasmania.
The 'Tin Shed' is a modern, deluxe accommodation (think upmarket hotel room) suitable for 2 people, located on private property, away from the main house.
Binalong Bay is in the heart of the world-renowned Bay of Fires, famous for white sandy beaches, distinctive orange rocks and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The Tin Shed is well situated with both bush and beach walks within easy reach making it a perfect base for exploring the Bay of Fires.
On arrival at you can drive straight up the driveway into the undercover off-street parking that is just a couple of metres away from the entrance to the Tin Shed. Entry to the Tin Shed is easy with no steps or stairs to worry about. Access is by key lock and details will be sent to you prior to your arrival.
On opening the front door, you will be pleasantly surprised. The room is well appointed and has a luxurious feel. Guests frequently comment on the fit out, plush carpet, floor heating and beautiful bathroom. The Queen Size bed is super comfortable, and many guests say they would love to take the bed home with them! The built-in robes with mirror glass doors give a feeling of space.
Adjacent to bedroom is a powder room that is perfect for putting your make up on, hair dryer and hair straightener provided. Adjoining the powder room is a large bathroom that boasts marble like floor to ceiling tiles, heated floor and towel rail. There is a cosy nook to sit in and the air conditioner/heater keeps the entire area nice and warm in winter and cool in summer. The flat screen television has a built in DVD player and a selection of DVDs are provided.
Whilst there is no kitchenette the room has coffee making facilities, a bar fridge, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster. Crockery, cutlery, glass wear and BBQ tools are supplied, and you don’t even need to wash up as we do it for you.
There is an undercover barbecue and plenty of outside seating for you to use. As a treat (summer or winter) guests often enjoy sitting around the open fire pot while having a wine or toasting marshmallows (we supply the marshmallows). Guests have access to the laundry and an iron and ironing board can be provided.
Guests also enjoy the convenience of FREE WiFi
We frequently see the Sea Eagles flying overhead. You might meet Kevin Kookaburra and his mates who visit us almost daily or you may even see wallabies and rabbits happily nibbling on the front lawn. It is only a short walk to ‘Lichen’ Binalong Bay’s popular local licensed restaurant that has amazing views of the main beach. On the way you can check out the scenic lookout where you might spot dolphins or even a whale or two if it's the right time of year. Or you may choose to check out the lovely swimming gulches, go rock hopping and explore rock pools on the way. The playground and tennis court are in proximity. If you prefer a bush walk, from the Tin Shed, you can walk to the southernmost point of the Bay of Fires, Skeleton Point. We also run Tas4x4Tours specialising in exclusive personalised tours. My husband is a highly experienced driver and tour guide with extensive knowledge of the Bay of Fires and surrounds. Tours can include the hinterlands where you can see beautiful waterfalls, rain forests, mining history or visit amazing locations that even some of our locals don't know about. If interested look up our tas4x4tours website and contact us. We can arrange something special for you. Should you wish to stay with us and take a tour discounts or special offers can apply.
The town of St Helens is close by (14k) and here you can pick up supplies. Here you will find a number of restaurants and takeaway options, two Supermarkets and a Provedore offering a range of quality Tasmanian produce. St Helens also has clothing stores, a pharmacy, craft and gift shops a doctor’s surgery and a small rural hospital.

Binalong Bay is a beautiful area, and our host Kathy was welcoming and gave us a lot of ideas for things to see and do. The tin shed was pristine and beautiful beaches right on the doorstep.

Little gem in the bay
Beautifully maintained & spotlessly clean ‘Tin Shed’! Really couldn’t fault our stay. Kathy & Dick were fantastic hosts and would certainly recommend a 4x4 tour with Dick. Would have no hesitation in staying again or recommending.

Safe travels.

We were extremely happy with our stay at the Tin Shed. The beautiful Bay of Fires was literally outside the front door. We enjoyed the nice touches of heated floors in the ensuite and towel warmers. Kathy recommended places of interest, walking tracks, beaches and restaurants. We loved the peace and quiet there.

The Tin Shed surpassed my expectations! Beautiful presentation and we wanted for nothing. Kathy and Dick are fabulous hosts. The beach is a short walk down the hill and a good cafe, The Hub, also within walking distance. I highly recommend this property.

Our host Kathy was very friendly and provided recommendations for places to visit. The home was cosy, comfortable, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Access to washing machine was provided and washing up completed by our gracious host. A beautiful stay in a stunning part of Tasmania.
The property is as described and very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were lovely.
Binalong Bay is very pretty with beautiful beaches and long scenic walks. We also visited the nearby Pyengana Dairy and St Colomba and Halls Falls, which, after overnight rain, were in full flow. Local restaurant (Meresta) was excellent. Overall, a terrific stay!

Once it became clear that The Tin Shed was in fact a backyard abode of a private property … like a granny flat … and that the ocean views that I had interpreted would be part of our experience were not present, the accommodation could not be be faulted. Kath the owner was a delight. The cleanliness and preparation was first class. I recommend it !!
Kathy thought of everything that would make our stay as comfortable as possible. We're travelling with a 2-yo and she even prepared a box of toys for him. The facilities were excellent and the service is 5 star. Kathy and her husband are very friendly and kind and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality.
Kathy has made the Tin Shed into a really lovely spot to stay. She has thought of just about everything a traveller could need for a short stay and including the BBQ facility on the deck outside was a great idea!
Great room, very comfy bed and a lovely bathroom with heated towel rail - a big plus for Queenslanders who feel the cold!
I would definitely recommend The Tin Shed as a place to stay in this beautiful part of Tasmania.
A very comfortable couple of nights!! So clean & has everything you need for a cosy stay!! Kathy was lovely and gave some great local knowledge & tips!! Thanks 😊
