Low Head Beach House, Low Head, TAS

Low Head Beach House, Low Head
Located on Lagoon Beach at Low Head, about 40 minutes’ drive from Launceston Low Head Bech House features uninterrupted views of the beach and historic Low Head Pilot Station, Café and Museum. The house sleeps six in three king bedrooms with bathrooms. Guests can pre-order produce, including local seafood and Tamar Valley wines, or arrange a private chef experience around the stringybark dining table.

The Granary, Cressy, TAS

The Granary, Cressy
A 20-minute drive from Launceston, this convict-built stone granary from the early 1800s has been transformed into stylish self-contained accommodation sleeping up to six. Pick fruit from The Granary’s orchard, and stroll its formal and cottage gardens flanked by old oak trees and a hazelnut grove. Or head further afield – follow the Tamar Valley Wine Trail, go fly fishing in the central highlands, explore the nearby convict-era farming estates of Woolmers and Brickendon, and hunt for antique treasures in northern Midlands country towns.

Satellite Island, D’Entrecasteaux Channel, TAS

Satellite Island, D’Entrecasteaux Channel
No roads, no shops, no other guests, no wifi. Just your own 34-hectare island to explore with friends, a fire pit, and a handful of wild deer. Accommodating up to 12 people in the three-bedroom beach house, the two-bedroom boathouse or a queen-size bell tent for summertime glamping you need to bring essentials but otherwise raid the pantry and spirits cupboard for local treats or head to the vegie patch or chook house.
