The Stand Alone is an intimate, earthy retreat made for 2
Our cabin is a sanctuary where forest meets the sea, a quiet place for communion and reconnection with nature.
Amid the salty air and birdsong, our bed looks to the trees and a deep bath with unlimited hot water.
Humble living in luxury, the wood stove keeps things cozy and Belgian cushions are perfect for sprawling out in the evenings.
Located in sleepy Lufra Cove, a magical corner of Eaglehawk Neck.

The space
The Stand Alone was built 30 years ago and the owners at that time believed this land to be a place of great spiritual energy. Our guests regularly remark that they feel strangely calm, at peace and connected with nature during their stay.
Our rejuvenation of the cabin has taken years, it has brought us great craftsmen, friendships, adventures and a treasure trove of discoveries you'll find in the space.
The deep bath and shower are entirely outside, floating above the forest floor and creating the perfect opportunity to luxuriate in nature.
A giant string hammock swings gently in the trees below The Stand Alone, we love to take a blanket down with a good book or just our thoughts for company.
Guest access
The property is all yours to enjoy and feels very private thanks to the wild forest and a tall privacy screen surrounding it. A private driveway and parking area means you can come and go as you please.
Our sprawling street and it's residents are mostly quiet though sometimes you'll hear a neighbour calling to their dog or a chainsaw off in the distance.
A path runs almost directly from the cabin down to the beach below.
It's a great spot for a morning coffee or an evening wine.
Lufra Cove is shouldered by Clyde island on one side and iconic Tesselated Pavement on the other. It's the less busy of the beaches around these parts and a perfect place to snorkel or swim, surf the reef, forage, cast a fishing line, collect shells or simply go for a walk, enjoy a rope-swing or sit for a picnic.
Other things to note
The Stand Alone is a special hideaway reserved for couples and is not suitable for children or pets due to its delicate nature and size.
We only have an in-ground bath/shower which is entirely outside — so this listing might not suit those with mobility issues.
We love the feeling of hot, steaming water in a cool breeze but nature immersion in Tasmania may not be for everyone.
We stock a basic pantry including: Ground and Un-ground local Coffee Beans (fresh roasted), local Black and Herbal Teas, Salt, Pepper & Olive Oil.
Please ensure you've brought your favourite supplies and comforts with you as guests find it hard to leave once they're settled. Hobart is plentiful with options and Sorell is a great stop on the way for supermarkets...otherwise Murdunna Roadhouse is well stocked with basics and local treats to keep you going and just 10 minutes away.
Our small kitchen includes ammenities such a quality 2 burner stove, powerful convection oven/microwave, an ample bar fridge and freezer, toaster and kettle. Owning @cubedespresso makes us a little nutty for coffee - we've stocked a ceramic coffee plunger, Hario V60 pour over, a Bellman cx25p stovetop espresso and steamer (for those feeling confident) and our coffee van is just up the road for a drop-in.
Due to Coronavirus, we've employed an enhanced cleaning routine, taking extra care to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces using approved products between stays. We also have a Covid-19 Safety Plan to ultimately ensure our guests and team's safety.
