Seaside Retreat – A Hidden Gem by the Ocean

Summary:

Welcome to our lovely pet-friendly seaside retreat in picturesque Tinderbox, just moments from the water with the beachfront right at your doorstep.



The home offers a queen bed, a bunk bed (two singles) and fast Wi-Fi for a comfortable stay. Only 20 minutes from the city, it’s ideal for both relaxing escapes and exploring the area. Stroll straight down to the beach and enjoy Tasmania’s stunning coastal scenery in peace and privacy.



The Space:

Escape to our seaside, pet-friendly retreat in the peaceful coastal community of Tinderbox, Tasmania. Just moments from the water, with the beach right in front of the home, it’s an ideal place to relax, recharge, and spend quality time with family, friends, and your furry companions.



Inside the house, you’ll find a comfortable queen bed and a bunk bed (two singles), perfect for a restful night after a day by the sea. The living area features large windows facing the ocean, filling the space with natural light and offering beautiful views of the coastline. Enjoy modern comforts including high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a piano that adds a warm and homely touch to the space.



Step outside to unwind in the outdoor hot tub while enjoying the ocean views, or walk down to the shoreline with our kayak, beach chairs, and life jackets. The private beachfront is perfect for morning strolls, quiet afternoons, or watching the sunset over the water. For safety, we recommend that only experienced guests use the kayak, and children should always be supervised near the water.



Located only 20 minutes from Hobart, the home offers the perfect balance between peaceful coastal living and easy access to the city’s shops, restaurants, and attractions. Whether you’re here for a relaxing escape or an adventure exploring southern Tasmania, this cozy retreat provides comfort, privacy, and stunning natural surroundings.



The region is also known for its local wineries, scenic coastal drives, and walking trails, making it a great base for discovering the beauty of the area. The nearby town of Kingston offers supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants, while Hobart’s popular attractions such as Salamanca Market and the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) are just a short drive away.

About Tinderbox



Tinderbox is a small seaside suburb located south of Hobart along the beautiful D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Known for its quiet atmosphere and stunning coastal scenery, it’s a wonderful place for visitors looking to slow down and enjoy Tasmania’s natural beauty.



Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Peter Murrell Reserve, a network of walking trails that wind through native bushland and provide great opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.



The area is also home to several boutique wineries and vineyards, many offering cellar-door tastings and local produce. Combined with excellent cafés and restaurants nearby, it makes Tinderbox a charming destination for both relaxation and exploration.



From here, it’s easy to explore more of southern Tasmania, including Mount Wellington (kunanyi), the historic village of Richmond, and Hobart’s vibrant waterfront and cultural attractions.
