1. Lovely cabin
This beautiful cabin-style accommodation is behind sand dunes and even has its own private access to the beach, which is just meters away. Banksia Cabin is actually a series of cabin rooms: the main cabin is mostly common areas such as living space, dining room and kitchen. We love the cast iron bath in this cabin! Just a few meters away is the bedroom cabin which sleeps up to three people. It’s worth noting that to go to the bathroom, you will have to leave the bedroom cabin. The design of Banksia has been laid out as such to ensure that guests can enjoy a full interaction with the outdoors. If you are looking for a unique location then this is it.

This modern beach house offers a happy, relaxing spot to call home for a few days. There is space for eight guests across three bedrooms and extra space in the common rooms. The views overlook mainly the mountains while a secluded beach is just 100 meters (0.1 km) away. The bedrooms of this property are neutrally decorated; the living area has splashes of colour against black leather sofas and an open stove. There is also a large terrace where you can enjoy both the sunset and stars at night time. If you’re looking for absolute relaxation then this might be your perfect vacation rental!

10. Waterfront house
This traditional Tassie shack building offers unparalleled views of the bay and Hazards mountains in the distance. Hosting up to 5 guests, there is plenty of space for everyone in 2 bedrooms and an open plan lounge and kitchen. The lounge features oversized seats and a flatscreen television. Our highlight of this property has to be the patio spaces surrounding the building with the giant beanbag couches and perfect views.
1.93 km (1.2 mi) from Freycinet National Park
11. Airy, light-filled cottage
In contrast, this simple cottage offers a traditional style vacation rental and is the last beachfront structure before the start of the National Park. You will be right in the middle of the best of both worlds, a blend of coastal air and natural sounds. There are not a huge amount of local amenities in the direct vicinity, but there is a nice place nearby for dinner. If you wish to self-cater, there is a simple kitchenette in the property for you to use. It is worth noting that this is a place for relaxation and so there is no wifi anywhere on the property and in fact, the whole area has poor signal.

12. Boutique vacation rental
This prestigious boutique vacation rental is perfect for a family of four and is in a fantastic location with access to Sandpiper Beach through a private entrance. However, the views actually take in Great Oyster Bay, Nine Mile Beach and Dolphin Sands. There is plenty to do right on your doorstep, including the golf course. For something a bit further away and busier, this property is just a short distance from the amenities of Coles Bay Township. The rental is modern and stylish with a black wood exterior and floor to ceiling windows which lets in tonnes of natural light. You can really enjoy those views and comfortable bedrooms.
