About this property

'beachbreak' Opossum Bay - Best on the beach! Adjacent to Arm-End golf course.


beachbreak - Right at the waters edge, this property is a comfortable and fully equipped modern 2 bedroom home featuring quality fittings and furnishings. Hands down the best private accommodation on Opossum Bay beach with sweeping 180 degree views across the Derwent River to Mount Wellington and beyond. A mere stroll to the world class 18 hole ‘Arm-End’ golf course. If you want the best view and the WOW factor then look no further! This is the venue for your next getaway.

Get lost in the serenity, enjoying stunning sunsets on the deck with uninterrupted beach and mountain views, swim in the sheltered bay directly out the front or make the most of some of Tasmanias best surf beaches just minutes away. A perfect place for fishing, diving, boating, kayaking, hiking, golfing and exploring or just curl up and read a book. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore.

If you are lucky enough to secure beachbreak Opossum Bay during the famous ‘Sydney to Hobart’ yacht race, settle in and watch the spectacular yachts tack into the bay on the final leg of their journey to Hobart. Book early for the summer as beachbreak is extremely popular from December to March and bookings fill early.

All within 40 minutes of Hobart CBD and 30 minutes from Hobart Airport make beachbreak Opossum Bay an attractive destination for couple getaways and family holidays or simply to take time out. The Opossum Bay Store is a short stroll away and most supplies are available. Jetty and boat ramp is at the southern end of the bay and there is ample off street parking for cars and a boat at beachbreak.

We utilise the VRBO online instant booking system for our accommodation and we ensure the process is simple and trouble free. If you require, we can be contacted at anytime day or night via email or telephone and we will do everything we can to ensure that your holiday, from booking to stay, is easy, relaxing and memorable.

Activities - summer or winter, beachbreak is the ultimate beach holiday!

beachbreak is located in a unique part of Tasmania. Absolute waterfront location means you literally walk out the door and onto the sand. Kayaking, fishing, diving, surfing, walks along the beach are right at your door, as well as the most spectacular 180 degree sunset views over the Derwent River.

The proposed Arm End Golf precinct at Opossum Bay is within view and just a short stroll from beachbreak. This makes beachbreak a very attractive stay for golf getaways and we are excited to offer golf accommodation packages in the future. The 18 hole course is expected to be completed soon. Another nearby 9 hole course at South Arm is a short 5 minute drive.

With Hobart just a 40 minute drive away there are an abundance of activities available all within close proximity to beachbreak. Port Arthur, MONA, Mount Wellington, Bruny Island, the Tarkine and Huon valley, wilderness fast ferry cruises and tours are all easy day trips. With plenty on offer you can do as much or as little as you like. In fact you will most likely prefer just to stay at home and enjoy the amazing view and relaxation beachbreak offers!

Lovely beachside break

Great little getaway. Really had the best of both worlds with a beachside holiday and also being able to explore Hobart and surrounds easily. We were very lucky with the weather and dusted off the kayaks and spent many an hour just gazing at the view. Nice cafe (touch of mo) and Sunday market not far away. Great area for walks on the beach and exploring rockpools. Be mindful that bigger supermarkets are a half hour away. Initial problem with the WiFi which was solved quickly with good communication. Overall a great stay with everything we needed.

Great spot!

A lovely spot to stay! Even though this property was a little out of the way, the location certainly added to our memorable Tasmanian holiday! We didn’t see dolphins, but we’re fortunate enough to experience some bioluminescence in the waves breaking on the shoreline during the night - visible from our bedroom window, followed a couple of hours later by the amazing site of a huge cruise ship fully lit, accompanied by tug boats going past our window just before 6 am - who would have thought! We may also have seen the Australis borealis on Thursday night, but as we didn’t have photographic gear set up, can’t be sure on that as this event isn’t normally obvious to the naked eye. Would have been nice if the bed linen and towels were a bit better quality. The bed was comfy and the view from bed was amazing! The shower operation was a bit tricky to get to work and fortunately neither of us have long legs otherwise the toilet could have been difficult to use.

A happy return to South Arm

This holiday home is superbly located overlooking Opossum Bay beach. There is direct access to the beach. The water is clear and safe to swim in. There is no rubbish or debris. It is very peaceful out of season. The people are friendly. The views are spectacular. There are good walks nearby. It is only 40 minutes from Hobart International Airport. There is very little traffic. All-in-all, a great place for a holiday! PS: The owners act and communicate professionally.

Best holiday ever!

What an amazing place to stay. It's a true 'beach holiday' and once you hear the waves literally outside the window, you'll be won over. We had one of our best holidays here. The house had everything we needed and was in the most incredible location. The kayaks were a welcome bonus - sunset paddles were definitely a highlight. Highly recommend, we'll most definitely be back :)

Relaxation on point!

What a location! We really enjoyed our stay in Opossum Bay and would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to getaway from the hustle and bustle, but still wanting to be close enough to Hobart to get in on the action. Our family of 4 took full advantage of the gorgeous weather and enjoyed the incredible beach access. The view was stunning and the house well equipped for our small family to rest and relax. Beds and amenities were all on point and there is a lovely little store close by if you need any bits and pieces. If you’re wondering if you should take the holiday, you should!

Good stay

Was nice to get away for a couple of days with the kids. House itself had everything we needed, may need a really big spring clean & safety check some day. And the front lock tightened, otherwise all good. Could not fault the location and view, and the beach at your door, beautiful. Liked that the spiral stairs had a child gate for peace of mind. The front door step is a little steep so please be careful if you have little ones or elderly people staying with you. We had a couple of falls myself and little one. Perhaps a first aid kit that can include, antiseptic & or vinegar for jellyfish stings would be handy to have on hand. The owner was very friendly and communicative. We had a lovely stay. Cannot wait to visit again.
