Find Country Houses in Port Arthur

In these harsh days of Covid-19, we want to share our space with people who need a relaxing beachside break. We love staying at our two-bedroom beach shack at White Beach, a two kilometre stretch of white sand edging a turquoise bay, shallow and calm, excellent for swimming and family water fun. The beach is pristine, there are birds everywhere, the sky is always changing, as is the light on the hills.Did you know you can see Mt Wellington in Hobart from the beach?Your access to the beach will take less than a minute, depending on whether you take one of the paths leading to the beach directly across from the house, or choose to walk to the pathway at the bridge (2 minutes away).The main bedroom and living area have beach views, all day, every day.The kitchen is well equipped with crockery and cutlery, appliances and gadgets. You can cook up a wonderful meal with everything you need on hand. DO use the dishwasher as it saves on water.
