Pelican's Rest Accommodation | cosy & private self-contained houses | TAS

Our guest accommodation is set amongst the natural bush overlooking the water at Marion Bay, Tasmania. It is a peaceful and private retreat among the treetops with Marion Bay beach just 5 mins to the North and Boomer Bay boat ramp to the South.
This is a great spot to unwind in our fully self contained holiday house. Our large decks and BBQ make outdoor living easy and convenient. Just 35 mins from Hobart airport and a half way stop between Hobart and Port Arthur. Attractions include surfing, sailing, safe swimming for the youngsters at the mouth of Bream Creek, fishing, and sea charters available either to catch a fish or just observe the sea life.
Popular vineyards; Bangor, Bream Creek Vineyard, and Cape Bernier are 5-10 minutes away, as well as fine dining restaurant; OIRTHIR.
There are great walking spots not to far away at Eaglehawk Neck and Fortescue Bay - 3 capes.
Hobart is 45 mins away where the well known Salamanca market is held on Saturday mornings.
