About the host
Hosted by Mark Swanson
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.
