Schouten Island

Hazards Rim on the east coast of Tasmania is an architecturally designed beach house offering a unique and comfortable experience in a natural setting. The beach house is nestled on the edge of Freycinet National Park, the gateway to Wineglass Bay. Surrounded by bush, Hazards Rim is just 100 metres from a delightful sheltered beach and is close to the Wineglass Bay walking tracks. The accommodation offers very comfortable open plan living with a fully equipped modern kitchen. The large lounge has floor to ceiling windows and includes a flat screen TV with DVD, CD player, stereo and Free Wi-Fi included. The BBQ and deck is perfect for outdoor entertaining. The house sleeps four people in two bedrooms – one queen room and one king size bed that can be split in two. Bush views from both bedrooms.

A trip to Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park is not complete without visiting Freycinet Lodge, for a few nights, a day or just to take in the view. The Lodge offers four and four and a half star accommodation within Freycinet National Park, along with two restaurants and a casual bar. This is the only accommodation and dining available in Freycinet National Park and the view from the balcony is spectacular. To protect the delicate environment, the timber cabins and Coastal Pavilions, hidden in the She Oak forest, are linked by raised boardwalks. Freycinet Lodge is a great base from which to explore the area, including the famous Wineglass Bay, Hazards Beach, sea kayaking, cruising and more. E-Bike hire is also available. Nearby, you can explore the Freycinet Marine Farm, the seaside villages of Bicheno and Swansea and acclaimed cool-climate wineries. You can sample the best Tasmanian wines or whiskies with a tasting experience at Freycinet Lodge as well as dinner at The Bay Restaurant or Richardson's Bistro.
