Escape to Dune Shack, a nostalgic 1970s Tasmanian retreat tucked behind the dune at White Beach. Relax in a secluded paradise with private beach access, hot stone sauna, and the soothing sound of waves just steps away.

Perfect for couples or small groups, the shack blends 70s charm with modern comforts - from the cosy Nectre fireplace to a fully equipped kitchen and vibrant, relaxing interiors.

The shack is an ideal base for exploring some of Tasmania’s most iconic bushwalks and beaches.

The space
Dune Shack offers a rare Tasmanian experience, combining privacy, nature, and comfort. Set in a large native garden, the property has private access to 5.5 km of pristine beach - run barefoot to the water in seconds or simply fall asleep listening to the ocean.

Inside, you’ll find colourful, comfortable interiors perfect for unwinding. Light the fireplace, toast marshmallows, browse books and board games, or sip a cup of Love Tea while soaking in the view.

Step outside to the dune for a seat with a panoramic view of the bay - often visited by dolphins, seals, eagle rays, and, in season, whales.

The renovated kitchen comes stocked with essentials and thoughtful extras, while the bedrooms feature electric blankets, fan heaters, and extra bedding for chilly nights. Heating is provided by both the woodfire and a heat pump.

The large private garden is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors:

• Custom hot stone sauna
• Firepit and plenty of firewood
• Hammock and outdoor seating
• Outdoor kitchen and BBQ
• Two outdoor showers

For activities, you’ll find a picnic set and blanket for beach days, yoga mats for stretching in the garden, and outdoor games like Finska and bocce.

Dune Shack is also ideal for elopements or small events - please reach out if you’d like to host a special occasion, we'd love to hear from you.
