great house in a lovely spot

This was the perfect place for our beachfront getaway, even more so because we could bring the doggos. The house itself had everything we needed and it was a great configuration as it allowed teenagers to have separate space downstairs. The cold jug of water on arrival was a most welcome touch. The views are simply stunning, and there are lots of amenities close by, and the beach is very calm for a walk or a paddle. We had a very relaxing 5 days, and would definately return.

Tranquil beach front stay

The house is in a delightfully tranquil location. So peaceful. The beach is literally in front of the house. You walk across the front garden then down a very short path onto the sand. The deck, living room and main bedroom look straight out to the bay. Falling asleep to the sound of waves lapping the shore was fantastic. The house was well equipped for cooking. Beds comfy. Great books to read in the house. Fabulous bath. Very handy having 2 bathrooms - one on each level. Loved swimming, kayaking, walking and relaxing here. Highly recommended.

Great family weekend away

Three generations stayed for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the location. We had two dogs with us and it was great that they could join in the fun. Dad (aged 90) struggled with the stairs but that’s to be expected. The younger couple had the downstairs area to themselves which worked well. Some of us took the chance to go on the Tasman Island tour with Pennicot which was fantastic.

Beach front getaway

A very clean and well put together property. Practically on the beach with a beautiful view from the back deck and master bedroom. The beach is in a protected cove, so great for kids to have a swim and a splash about. The Pennicott cruise we went on departs from that same beach, so close. We also did the Port Arthur dinner and ghost tour, 5 minute drive down the road. Comfortably slept 8 adults, couch is really comfortable aswell. Shower is amazing, hot water just takes a minute to get going but that's not an issue. WiFi in the house is great, no dropping out issues or anything. You do have to go up a set of spiral stairs to enter the main part of the house which may pose a major problem for elderly or people with mobility issues but it does have a very secure child gate at the top for those with small children.

Delightful and Relaxing

A beautiful part of Tasmania. Looking out over the bay was a lovely way to finish our 2 week tour of Tasmania. Close to Port Arthur and we had a lovely meal at Steward Bay Resort which is an easy walk away. Really enjoyed our time at Stewards Bay

Everything we needed in an unforgetable location

For a larger group of friends this property had everything we needed in an incredible location for a relaxing weekend together. We could have easily spent a week here. The little finishing touches were partcularly thoughful, such as the books, extra blankies, moisturiser, emergency sanitary products for the ladies, and cooking oils and sauces. Being able to bring along a four-legged friend also made the experience extra special. We were so comfortable and the whole booking process with Bek was super easy and well communicated. We will be sure to return!

Beautiful property.

We had five nights here recently and could have stayed five weeks. The property had everything you could ask for and the location was nothing short of amazing. The kids had an absolute ball on the beach and fishing from the kayaks. Thankyou for sharing your place with us Bek, will definitely be back.

Beautiful location to get away for a weekend

Loved so much about the house - how close the house was to the beach, the view from the deck and front bedroom, beds and pillows were very comfortable, house and bbq were clean and dogs are allowed. Living area was a bit small for our noisy family of 9 but we were lucky with the weather and used the deck. Lots of thoughtful things provided in bathroom and kitchen which made our stay easier. Foxtel in the main lounge was an added bonus. Will stay again. Thanks Bek!

Wonderful location

We had a lovely family holiday in this comfortable beach house. Lovely beds, well equipped kitchen, luxurious bathroom, clean and tastefully decorated beach house. The waterfront location is perfect for beach lovers. The divine Stewart’s Bay is hard to beat for a little bit of quiet sanctuary. It is not perfectly quiet as there were motor boats coming and going occasionally. Our family had many enjoyable hours in the kayaks . Highly recommend it.
