Fodor's Expert Review Avalon Coastal Retreat

11922 Tasman Hwy., Swansea, Tasmania, 7190, Australia Fodor's Choice

This gorgeous three-bedroom house is the ultimate in exclusivity: it sits entirely alone on Tasmania's east coast, with just the occasional passing white-bellied sea eagle for company. Rooms are decorated in a tasteful, minimalist style, but it's what's outside the house's glass walls that make Avalon Coastal Retreat truly dazzling: an infinite, unblemished expanse of white sand, blue sky and crashing waves that will leave your jaw hanging. The views to the Freycinet Peninsular and Maria Island are stupendous. At night, the house is enveloped in darkness and the sky resembles a planetarium. Every single thing a beach holiday-maker could possibly need is provided: there's a kayak, surfboards, and fishing supplies, a fully stocked fridge and kitchen, and helpful extras like a day pack and flashlights. You will want for absolutely nothing except more time to enjoy the stunning vistas. The owners have a similar property in the hills for an even more secluded luxury getaway.
