The space
Enjoy the views through the bifold kitchen windows onto a great entertaining area. Multiple elevated decks, great aspect for watching the sunset over the ocean. The sunsets here are spectacular, with one of the best views from the private outdoor bath!

I love living in Tas and exploring the beaches, reserves and vast spaces with no one around! I'm lucky I can share some of these less explored areas through our properties at Avoca and Dodges Ferry. When travelling I enjoy trying to find unique places like these!
