About the host

Hosted by Honni Chilcott

Host profile image
I work full time as a high school teacher. We live in Hobart and love to get to the beach on weekends.

Why they chose this property

We built this house in 2006. We fell in love with Big Roaring Beach and the surrounding community and found the perfect block to build a holiday home for our family.

What makes this property unique

We designed the house so that all of the living was upstairs to make the most of the views. We love sitting on the front deck overlooking the ocean. The back deck has superb views of the rural setting and makes the most of the afternoon sun. Even on a cold winters day, it is impressive sitting by the open fire and watching the weather change over the ocean.
