About this property
Top of the Bay - Akaroa
Wake up to one of the best views on Tasmania's east coast. Perched high above Georges Bay, Top of the Bay captures an ever changing outlook across the sparkling water, down to the famous barway and out to the open ocean beyond. Whether you're watching fishing boats head out at sunrise or enjoying a quiet evening as the colours change over the bay, you'll never tire of the view.
Designed with families in mind, this spacious three bedroom home gives everyone room to relax. The adults can retreat upstairs to their own private sanctuary, while the kids claim the downstairs bedrooms and their own cosy second lounge complete with another TV and couch. It's the kind of home where everyone can spread out, yet still come together for meals, games and evenings around the fire.
The light filled living area is made for slow holiday mornings and relaxed nights in, with a crackling wood heater for winter escapes and reverse cycle air conditioning to keep things comfortable year round.
Upstairs, the parents' retreat feels like your own boutique hideaway, featuring a queen bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom and private balcony overlooking the bay. It's the perfect place for a morning coffee before the rest of the house wakes up.
Outside, gather around the fire pit under Tasmania's incredible starry skies, or take the short stroll down to the beach for a swim, paddle or sunset walk along the shoreline.
Whether you're exploring the Bay of Fires, riding the world-class mountain bike trails or simply slowing down and soaking up the views, Top of the Bay is the perfect base for your next east coast getaway.
