About this property

'beachbreak' Opossum Bay - Best on the beach!


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. 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. We are confident you will have a great stay at our fantastic beachside retreat and like many others you will return every year!

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!

Gorgeous as always
I’ve not been back to beachbreak since before COVID and it was as lovely as ever. The house continues to be well appointed, cosy and comfortable, and the view just never gets old. Brought my partner here for the first time and he loved it too.
