Freycinet Beachfront Retreat ~ unbeatable location and views!
Freycinet’s Beachfront Retreat offers the perfect location in Coles Bay and base from which to explore Freycinet National Park.
Set on the waterfront with direct beach access you can relax and enjoy 180 degree views of the spectacular Hazards mountain range and Great Oyster Bay.
This is unbeatable! From the back gate at the waterfront side of the property, you are a two minute walk from the secluded Richardson’s Beach set in the world renowned Freycinet National Park. This is a fabulous swimming beach perfect for families. In the other direction, a 5 minute walk takes you to an excellent, well stocked supermarket, a post office and a wood-fire pizza restaurant and cafe.
The beach house is light and spacious with high cathedral wooden ceilings over an open planned living area where you can enjoy the spectacular views of the sea and Hazards mountain range. Whilst it has been modernised and updated with flair it maintains the relaxed, beach holiday atmosphere of the original 60s shack.
A modern, fully equipped kitchen adjoins the open planned living space with a blackwood dining table that comfortably seats 8 people. The wood heater creates a cosy environment during the cooler months and a BBQ on the deck can be enjoyed over summer.
The first bedroom is on the ground level and has a queen sized bed, modern light fittings and two bedside tables. From this room you can enjoy views of the sea and a door provides direct access to the balcony.
The second bedroom is also on the ground floor and has a double bed, modern light fittings and a bedside table.
The third bedroom is a bunk room downstairs suitable for older children or adults. There are two sets of bunks. A door allows direct access to the back garden.
There is one newly renovated modern bathroom on the ground floor. A second toilet is easily accessible just at the entrance of the house under cover.
Coles Bay is nestled in the world renowned Freycinet National Park. It is a must on any trip to Tasmania and its unique location offers a wide range of activities to suit all interests.
Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life at our charming holiday house, where we invite you to unwind without the distraction of WiFi. While we understand the significance of this modern amenity, WiFi is not available at this property. Embrace the opportunity to fully connect with your surroundings, explore the beauty of the region, and immerse yourself in the vibrant offerings of the local community. Discover a truly rejuvenating experience at our retreat, where the focus is on relaxation and enjoying the present moment.

We loved the location. House had lovely views and a short walk to the shops and beach. It was very quiet. Able to watch the birds in the tree tops. Great spot for visiting the park. Comfortable and clean house. Supplies for the fire provided which was lovely in the evening. Would stay again.

Lovely views of the area however the bedrooms were slightly on the smaller size and the beds themselves a little too firm. The possums that reside in the roof and then proceed to ‘party’ at 4am were a little upsetting. Other than that it was fine.

Hi Sonia,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate the feedback we receive from our guests, it helps us to make improvements.
It is lovely to know you enjoyed the wonderful views from this beautiful property and we are sorry to hear the possums were active on the roof during your stay. It is always a treat to have the wildlife so close to your doorstep but this does come with drawbacks from time to time.
It can be difficult to cater to each guest’s preference regarding mattress firmness. We will however pass your feedback onto the owner and thank you for letting us know.
We love sharing this special part of Tassie with visitors and hope you will be able to come back again soon.
Kind Regards,

Perfect location with only short walks to either the beach or shops/food.
Amazing views
Kitchen and bathroom renovated
Downstairs wasn’t that great for kids due to the steep stairs but apart from that the house matched the description.
