Dunalley Waterfront Escape

Set on a spacious double block with beautiful water views and access to the Dunalley waterfront, this relaxed four-bedroom home is an ideal base for fishing trips, boating weekends and exploring the Tasman Peninsula. Sleeping up to 10, there’s room to spread out, park the boat and unwind. Enjoy WiFi, free-to-air TV and a cosy wood fire, or settle in with a few drinks and card games after a day exploring Tasmania’s spectacular southeast coast.

This relaxed two-storey, four-bedroom home sits on a generous double block beside the water in Dunalley, offering plenty of space for families, groups, fishing trips and boating weekends. Freshly painted and renovated, it provides a comfortable and practical base for exploring the region. This isn’t a high-end luxury retreat, and we prefer to be transparent about that. Instead, it’s a simple, welcoming waterside home with plenty of space, beautiful water views and an excellent location for discovering the Tasman Peninsula.

Entering via the front steps, you’ll arrive directly into the main living area. There are comfortable couches where you can settle in after a day exploring, along with a dining table seating six. A TV provides free-to-air channels, while complimentary WiFi is available throughout your stay.

The heart of the living area is the wood heater, which creates a cosy atmosphere during Tasmania’s cooler months. Firewood, kindling and matches are supplied to help get you started. Please note that the wood heater is the property’s main source of heating (downstairs bedrooms have portable heaters) , so guests visiting during the cooler months should be comfortable operating a wood fire.

The kitchen provides the essentials needed for preparing meals during your stay, making the property particularly convenient for groups who want the flexibility to cook and eat at home. The property uses gas hot water.

Across the two levels are four bedrooms accommodating up to 10 guests. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed. Downstairs are another two bedrooms, with each featuring a queen bed with a single bunk positioned above. This flexible configuration works particularly well for families, groups of friends and fishing crews travelling together.

There are two bathrooms within the property, with hairdryers supplied for guest use. Guests should be aware that the downstairs layout is a little unconventional, with access to one of the downstairs bedrooms requiring you to walk through the bathroom. We prefer to make this clear before booking so groups can decide whether the layout suits them.

For longer stays, a washing machine is available, along with an indoor clothes airer and an outdoor clothesline at the rear of the property.

Outside is where this property really comes into its own. Sitting across a large double block, there is loads of room for vehicles, trailers and a boat. The property enjoys beautiful views across the water and access towards the Dunalley waterfront, making it especially appealing for guests visiting the area to fish, boat or explore the coastline.

This is a property for guests who value location, space and simplicity over luxury. Spend the day fishing, boating or exploring the Tasman Peninsula, then come home, light the wood fire, put the TV on, play some cards and enjoy a relaxed evening overlooking the water.

Guests have full access to the property. There are no shared spaces or areas that are off-limits during your stay.

Your privacy is paramount, but our dedicated management team is always just a message away for any questions or recommendations. We want your stay to be as seamless and enjoyable as possible, and our team is here to assist with anything you may need.
