About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning water views; relaxed coastal atmosphere; multiple entertaining areas

With sweeping views across Prosser Bay and to Maria Island, our modern shack has a relaxed coastal vibe and is suitable for a couple, families or a group of friends.

The open plan living area spills onto both front and back decks, all with stunning 270-degree views. The back deck contains an eight-seat table, a three-seat bar, and an outdoor lounge. The front deck has a lounger and a two-seat table.

Inside you can cook in the well-equipped kitchen while still entertaining your group at the four stool island bench, eight-seat table, or seven seated lounge area.

If you don't want to watch TV or a DVD from the well-stocked collection, you can complete a puzzle, play one of the many board games or read a book as you relax and watch the weather move across the bay. Please note that WiFi is not included.

The modern bathroom contains a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, a double sink with a large mirror, and a second toilet.

Please note, while we cater for groups up to eight (8) this is not a party house. Please respect our neighbors. 😊

A lovely place to revive.
Very clean and comfortable with great views of the ocean. We loved sitting on the balcony taking in the view. The home was peaceful and quiet and in a great location. The location gave us easy access to many points of interest such as the ferry to Maria Island.

Excellent property in fantastic location ar Orford
we chose this property for its location in Orford, close to the Maria Island ferries in Triabunna. We spent 5 nights here and cannot reccomend the house highly enough. We are seniors so the peaceful surroundings suited us very well. The house contains everything you need, has wonderful sea views and you can hear the gentle sound of surf too. The best choice in Orford or Triabunna.

Great place away from the city
The house was pretty comfortable with most facilities we needed. Kids enjoyed the fireplace as we stayed here in colder month. The pricing was pretty competitive. The town of Orford is less busy which is suitable for anyone wanting a laid back holiday. Easy to get to Hobart, Launceston and Port Arthur. The beaches are a walking distance. I will highly recommend it to anyone exploring the east coast of Tasmania.

Fantastic!!
We spent two nights here and had everything we needed. Spectacular views, very comfortable beds and clean as a whistle 👌 Very well equipped kitchen, and two decks to enjoy the sun or be more sheltered. Loved the fire pit. Lucky it was very conveniently located a short walk from the IGA so we could get marshmallows. Thanks for having us 😃

Our two night stay was easy from the word go, booking this property, checking in and all communication with the host was fabulous! Arriving at the property we were amazed of the stunning views from so living areas overlooking the water and maria Island! The house was clean, modern and well set up for our group of two families with children and would also suit a couple or a group of friends. We would highly recommend 😁
