As the closest accommodation to Trousers Point Beach, Walden finds you cocooned in a private setting of tea-tree forest and grasslands with magnificent and all encompassing views of the Mt Strzelecki Range from almost every room of the house. Located on 26 acres of "Land for Wildlife", your neighbours are wallabies, wombats and birdlife, which abound. The golden sands of Trousers Point Beach and the start of the stunning Trousers Point National Park Coastal Walk are only a five minute walk away, at the end of the road. Walden is a three bedroom, two bathroom house, sleeping up to eight guests, with a queen bedroom, double bedroom, and bunk room (sleeping four). There is a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel and timber benches, gas cook top, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher. The lounge room and living/dining areas feature impressive windows to immerse you in the landscape of the mountain. If it's not beach weather, a wood heater in the kitchen and open fire in the lounge, make a cosy retreat for the colder months. Located only 16 km from the main town of White mark, Walden is an ideal location to discover all Flinders Island has to offer.
