General Overview

Just a few steps from the sand at Little Roaring Beach, this is the kind of Tasmanian beach shack people dream about — warm, honest and wonderfully welcoming. A place where you kick your shoes off at the door, breathe in the sea air, and settle into a slower rhythm. It’s the perfect Tasmanian escape! The house has that classic coastal shack feel: soft sunlight, expansive blue water views and a lived-in warmth that makes you feel instantly at home. It’s cosy without being cramped, simple without being bare, yet so pleasantly comfortable that you’ll never want to leave! The beach shack is a wonderful base to explore Southern Tasmania, including the Hartz Mountains, Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs, Southport and Cockle Creek. Hobart which has been voted by Lonely Planet as one of the top ten destinations in the world, is only an hour's away. Our location makes a day trip to visit Salamanca Market and many other historic and cultural site in and near Hobart, very accessible.

The Space

Inside, you’ll find relaxed open plan living, dining & kitchen with beachy styling — natural textures, comfy seating, and multiple spaces made for curling up with a book. Watch the ever-changing cloudscape over the water from the front deck with your favourite beverage then cook up a storm in the simple but amply equipped kitchen. Alternatively, throw together a picnic to enjoy on the beach! Falling asleep to the waves lapping at the shore then waking to the glistening sun rising over the water is truly one of the special experiences in this southern Tasmanian sanctuary. If you’re lucky, you might even capture an Aurora! The main bedroom with Queen bed is on the upper level, and overlooks the bay. A morning cuppa in bed with a stunning water view is a delightful way to start the day here. Two further spacious bedrooms are downstairs - one with king single bed (and a piano!), the other with twin single beds. The bathroom and separate toilet are also downstairs. The toilet is new but the rest of the bathroom is rustic , complete with very old claw foot bath and overhead shower. Hot water is guaranteed though and the toilet is a standard flushing system - luxurious compared to many of the surrounding original beach shacks! A washing machine and laundry trough are also housed in the bathroom. Kayaks, boogie boards and fishing gear are available for your recreational use. Or simply explore our beach and others nearby, on foot.

Guest Access

Access to the front door is via several steps. The back door entrance also has steps and an uneven surface. The home is over two levels with internal stairs. Therefore, the property is not suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Notes

The beach shack has a rainwater tank which collects water off the roof. Waste water is treated via septic system. We respectfully ask that you be conscious of this precious resource, during your stay.

Neighbourhood

Little Roaring Beach is a small, friendly community; a mixture of holiday shacks and permanent residents. It offers terrific coastal exploring via kayak or on foot - nearby Big Roaring Beach is easily accessible. Nearby town of Dover offers postcard views - sandy beaches and snow-tipped mountains in winter. The Huon Valley offers farm gates , cider houses, vineyards and orchards. Other highlights in the Far South are: • Hastings Caves and thermal springs • Southport’s turquoise beaches • the wild trails of the Southwest National Park . dramatic dolerite peaks of the Hartz Mountains . and the windswept beauty of the far-south coast, all the way to Cockle Creek. Despite its small size, Dover has a welcoming, village feel — friendly locals, cafes, general store, and that relaxed, timeless atmosphere.
