Enveloped in breathtaking and peaceful Tasmanian countryside, the Japanese-inspired architecture of this serene modern home is an unmissable escape. Boasting an internal courtyard, impeccably thoughtful design and landscaped views from every aspect, this one-of-a-kind home is the ideal base for a long or short Snug stay.
This hideaway is perched on top of a hill, away from neighbouring properties for ultimate relaxation. Enclosed in floor to ceiling glass windows, the living area is perfect to take in the rugged surroundings. Sink into the designer couches and gaze onto the rocky shores beyond that stretch as far as the eye can see. The minimalist nature of the space allows for moments of calm. Grill up some local specialities and enjoy the view while dining at the outdoor table in the courtyard area - a dreamy location for any meal. End the night around the outdoor fire pit taking in the clear skies.
Spectacularly well-appointed, this home has your practical needs covered. The open-plan kitchen with a large island is a gastronomic dream, and you have access to a private pantry. The two bedrooms continue in Japanese style. The master bedroom features a King bed, and leads onto an ensuite glass-framed bathroom, which is a sanctuary of relaxation, boasting a large sunken bath with unmissable ocean views. The second bedroom is a unique space; atop the raised platform are two memory foam tatami mats, transporting you East.
As revitalising as its surroundings, this home perfectly echoes the alternative lifestyle found in Snug itself. Sparsely populated and extremely beautiful, the main pull of Snug is nature. There are plenty of jaw-dropping hikes and unmissable excursions (Bruny Island is a day trip with taking, and Snug Falls offers year-round beauty).
Snug Beach is just waiting to be explored, offering very calm waters, perfect for swimming and kayaks - not to mention the spectacular sunsets!
You’re only 30 minutes from Hobart, an easy drive or bus. With its commitment to produce-driven dining, weekly markets and food experiences, you can expect a long and varied list of top places to eat in Hobart. Coffee fiends will be satisfied, Hobart is a mecca when it comes to cafes. Nightlife is unbeatable too, as there are many Hobart bars and boundary-pushing distilleries scattered throughout the city. Culture vultures won’t be disappointed, as you’re primed for a visit to the wonderful Mona art gallery, and if you’re visiting at the right time of year, the Dark Mofo festival, to experience the best in art, culture and cuisine.
