Dolphin Shores - beachfront hideaway

Beachfront / Bush / Wildlife / Play Dolphin Shores is a private beachfront oasis at the highly desirable eastern end of Dolphin Sands. You have exclusive use of this immaculate home featuring open-plan living, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and laundry, 2 sun decks, separate dedicated indoor/outdoor games room, and all the amenities needed for a long stay. Set on 5 very private acres of bushland fronting directly onto Nine Mile Beach, this is the perfect place to get away. The space This house is filled with natural light and surrounded by gardens, bushland, and native wildlife. Dolphin Shores has one of the largest beach frontages, with a short 1-minute stroll taking you directly onto the pristine expanse of Nine Mile Beach. The house is not visible from the road, by neighbours or by beach-goers, providing the perfect seclusion for a relaxing family break or romantic getaway. We aim to provide a comfortable stay for allergy sensitive guests by not allowing pets or smokers, providing hypoallergenic pillows, undertaking regular deep cleaning, and having the wildlife help maintain our lawns. Our bathroom, kitchen and laundry supplies have been selected for being cruelty-free, ethically sourced, and free from harmful chemicals. The spacious main bedroom features windows on 3 sides, luxurious 100% cotton over-size bedding, multi-zone electric blanket, TV with in-house movies, large built-in wardrobes, electronic safe, ceiling fan, heater/cooler, wireless charger, and a selection of pillows and blankets. It is separated from the other bedrooms, providing a quiet retreat as well as direct access onto one of two sun decks. Adjacent is the main bathroom, which offers floor heating, bath, separate shower, and plenty of amenities. For additional guests, at the other end of the house is Bedroom 2, also with a posturepedic queen bed and direct BBQ deck access; Bedroom 3, featuring a bunk bed (please consider if this is appropriate for the age of the guests); plus a shower room with second toilet. The rest of the house consists of a fully equipped laundry plus open-plan living that incorporates kitchen, living, dining and TV areas, and features both a wood heater and ducted heat pump/air-conditioner. Outside deck space on both sides of the house allows you to follow the sun and relax, whilst our well developed trees provide garden shade from the hot summer sun as well as shelter from the strong winds. Outdoor dining furniture is provided along with use of a gas BBQ and outdoor gas heater. Children have plenty of room to run around on the open grassed areas, with a slide and swing set, basketball and netball posts, as well as various sports balls available for use. If they want to escape the sun or rain, a large shed located between the house and beach serves as a games room and offers hours of fun with table tennis, air hockey, foosball and more. For inside fun there are also books, games, DVDs, and over 100 recent and new-release in-house movies to keep them occupied. Borrow one of our adult mountain bikes to ride along the beach, to Bagot Point, or even into Swansea along the flat roads. Beach kayaks are another fun activity, or bring a boat if you have one. We have plenty of open parking and are only a minute away from the popular Bagot Point launching area, giving you access to both Great Oyster Bay and Moulting Lagoon. Approximately 20 minutes’ drive takes you to the seaside town of Swansea, where restaurants, cafes, general store, pharmacy, craft shops, museums and more can be found. Many attractions that East Coast Tasmania has to offer are within easy distance, including wineries, waterfalls, scenic lookouts, Freycinet and Douglas-Apsley National Parks and more all within an easy hour’s drive. Alternatively, stay put and enjoy a swim at Nine Mile Beach in the cool, clean waters of Great Oyster Bay, build sandcastles on Nine Mile Beach, cycle around the property on one of three adult mountain bikes provided, try your hand fishing at Bagot Point Reserve, spot birdlife around Great Swanport over to Pelican Bay and Swanwick, take a relaxing stroll along the beach at sunset and marvel at the spectacular, ever-changing colours of The Hazards, then head back to put your feet up and welcome the local wildlife right here at dusk. It may be quiet, but every day is new. Simply enjoy. Guest access Our 1pm check-in time is earlier than most other places, but we can sometimes arrange an even earlier time.
