Wineglass Bay Lookout

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.

At the Bay gives you such a spectacular panoramic view of the bay and the mountains that you would be forgiven for thinking you had borrowed the set of a Bond film to stay in. This is a serious luxury here. Both bedrooms have a king-size bed, one of which can be configured to two singles if you prefer. Every room has its own controllable air conditioning, and the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. There are in fact two bathrooms, with rainhead showers, heated towel rails and, in cooler months, underfloor heating as well. As well as a laundry there is a fully equipped kitchen and, with the aid of a ramp from the car park to the back door, the whole property is wheelchair accessible. This property is an adults-only retreat and not suitable for infants or young children, however, people over the age of 12 are very welcome. There is a television in every room, wireless internet throughout and is only a couple of hundred metres from the shops and a good café. If you are doing your own cooking, you’ll appreciate the modern kitchen with its oven and hobs, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave as well as plenty of work space. The dining and lounge area has a 180-degree view of the bay and the mountains through floor-to-almost-ceiling windows.
