Amazing

Tides Reach is an outstandingly beautiful property in Dover Tasmania. The house is very well appointed inside and out, with the most spectacular views of Port Esperance Bay. You do literally step out the front door and walk a few short steps on pristine sand to find the ocean gently lapping at your feet. We are already planning our next visit.

Fabulous property

Beautiful drive to Dover. When we arrived at Tides Reach, we were silent looking out at what felt like our own beach, the views, the calm, the serenity. We just looked at each other in awe of the property and view out to the bay. All you can hear is the light waves on the beach and birds singing. Close to Hastings Caves and wallks. What a wonderful property with everything and more that you need. The serenity... and batteries recharged, we will definitely return. Thank you.

A well equipped, clean and spacious house. The water lapping at the lawn. Close to the Southern Wilderness. A place to recoup.

Tides Reach

Tides Reach is an exceptional property in a picture perfect location. Very comfortable well designed to take in the view, and very quiet! We arrived on a cold afternoon so it was lovely to have the heating already turned on. We loved our 4 nights here and hope to return one day.
