Our Beach Break

Our stay at Erica’s beach house was just perfect. The property is perfectly located and offered us a slice of tranquility in our hectic schedules yet at the same time we enjoyed beach walks, fishing and everything that nearby Hobart had to offer. Erica was wonderful to deal with and made our stay both memorable and convenient. Definitely would love to return to Opossum Bay!

About the host

Hosted by erica cuthbert

Host profile image
I am recently semi retired retail jewellery store owner for over 20 years
Darts Jewellers was a well known loved local jewellery store which was a family business for over 60 years. Since leaving the business in 2015 I have enjoyed 2 significant trips travelling Australia, but love nothing more than coming back to Hobart! I have 2children, boy and girl in their twenties. I have always lived in Hobart and have spent many years in the Opossum Bay area, where my mother and grandmother both having shacks in the area as well

Why they chose this property

I spotted this property whilst out walking with my parents and immediately fell in love with the spectacular position with uninterrupted views of the Derwent River and of course beautiful Glenvar Beach, with its easy access and quiet calm waters, ideal for hot summer days

What makes this property unique

total beachfront, breathtaking views, kitchen overlooks the beach, total self contained with all the equipment of a house, kayak and fishing gear, indoor and outdoor wood heater, heat pump and aircon if required, DVDs, singstar and a genuine 1980s fully working records jukebox, great 80S music!
