Dramatic, elemental, wild

Thalia Haven is set on a private 130-acre wooded peninsula surrounded by the crystal-blue waters of renowned Great Oyster Bay. Experience Tasmania's wild East Coast from a unique perspective. Five kilometers of coastline include your own exclusive golden sand beach. Accommodation is in four ancient stone bedrooms clustered around flowered courtyards on the ocean's edge.

The space
Thalia is a bold showcase of self-reliance: your water, electricity and warmth are drawn from its land, breezes, and sunshine. Rustic, yes. But fear not: all the comforts you will need to relax, enjoy and explore are at hand.

Guest access
When you book a holiday at Thalia, you have the whole house to yourselves. That includes our 130 acres – and our beach!

Other things to note
Thalia is self-catering, so now is your opportunity to cook some of our beautiful Tasmanian offerings! Our kitchen is fully equipped, with a cooking fireplace, oven, and four gas burners.

We provide a pantry of basic supplies to make your shopping and cooking easier. Please help yourselves to flour, sugar, cereal, olive oil, vinegar, spices, and all manner of coffee and teas. Rosemary, parsley. thyme, chives, oregano and bay leaves grow outside the kitchen door. If you'd like, we will send you suggestions on where to find nice provisions for your stay.

My work: Thalia Haven
Speaks French
I am an American by birth who discovered Tasmania in the 1980s. I can't get over how lucky I am to have found this place! I love: cooking for my family and friends - playing bridge - doing Killer Sudoku puzzles - walking my dogs - watching birds - meeting new people and sharing Tasmania with them!
