About this property

Halcyon Days - A comfortable, quiet and well equipped based to explore or relax

Halcyon Days can be found on a quiet little street called Halcyon Grove in St Helens on Tasmania’s North East coast.

The house is a short stroll down to Georges Bay, close to one of the many popular fishing jetties and straight onto the path leading around the bay to the shops of St Helens while taking in the open vistas.

Halcyon days is perfectly situated to base yourself to explore north along the coast to Binalong Bay and the Bay of Fires or south down as far as Freycinet or head up into the hinterland to Pyengana, the Blue Tier and Derby.

The house has two bedrooms accommodating four guests and an open plan dining, lounge and kitchen area.
Off street parking is available and Halcyon Days has a large fenced yard that can accommodate well behaved dogs that don’t want to miss out on the family holiday. There is a large deck at the rear with views down to the bay filtered by beautiful big gum trees.

Halcyon Days is a relaxing spot to take in the surrounding serenity and explore all this beautiful part of the East Coast has to offer.

One of our worst holiday accomms

Tired and well past its best. The bathroom in particular could do with a serious make over. We concur with previous users who passed comments on the drive - it is appallingly bad to being almost beyond use. Other previous comments note the shower - frankly it is unsafe for even the most able bodied. But for the elderly and those prone to falls it is perilous. A simple solution would be a good non-slip bathmat - and, of course a grab rail.. Another concern for the aged are the loose rugs that shift and rumple up creating potential trip hazard. This was the first accommodation of its type we have stayed in that did not have electric blankets - end given how chilly the weather was they were needed. In regard to heating why has the heat pump been "locked on" to a single lowish temp with no way of increasing same or boosting the flow. Very strange! Also needed was some instructions on using the microwave - all these devices are different and without suitable use instructions they can be frustrating to use. Overall we were very disappointed with the accommodation and believe it to have been way overpriced compared to recent holiday stays we have enjoyed in Tasmania. Sorry.

Simplicity at its Best

Our third time at Halcyon Days so that speaks for itself. Fantastic views over looking George’s Bay and a lovely walk into St Helens in a relatively new path, we will be back.

Condiments

I feel that the lack of condiments let the place down a bit .Other places we have stayed in always had milk in the fridge, a variety of teas to choose from and coffee sachets t choose from,not everyone enjoys plunger coffee.I realise these are trivial points but they do make for a better stay.ps the jug didn't seem to want to turn off automatically.The rear deck is a big bonus
