Intimate, earthy cottage in Tranquil Setting

The cottage is oriented away from the main house. It is a private, quiet, earthy cottage, filled with natural light.

Unique in its design and construction featuring a beautiful cordwood feature wall (you'll understand why we call it the Giraffe House) and beautifully hand-crafted alternate tread stairs.

There is a cosy queensize bed on the mezzanine with fantastic southerly sky views. You may be lucky enough to capture the Southern lights Aurora Australis.

Relax in the lounge and be warmed by the radiant heat from the woodstove. The well-equipped kitchen, providing essential pantry items, has a gas cooktop, microwave/oven, and fridge.

The kitchen dining area looks west to the Woodbridge Hill, a comfy couch allows for basking in the afternoon winter son whilst watching the abundant bird and wildlife.

The bathroom has a walk-in shower and composting toilet. There is a small office area.

The Giraffe House provides a perfect intimate base to spend a peaceful weekend or week away exploring Southern Tasmania's Coal River Valley, the Tasman Peninsula, Huon Valley, Channel and Bruny Island or simply relaxing on the veranda watching the birds whilst the sun sets over the mountain.

There are many great local attractions, vineyards, restaurants, & outdoor activities within easy access. The Giraffe House was built in 1985 and has had several makeovers most recently during the Winter of 2018.

It is only a short walk to the foreshore where you will find all manner of marine life and sea birds. Grab one of our kayaks (fee applies) and paddle around to wreck in Little Peppermint Bay. Come for a sail on on Channel (www.sailingtasmania.com.au)

Mr
We had a really wonderful time during our stay and playing with the chickens. Christine and Michael are very warm and accommodating. The sky at night is so beautiful and the window slit by the bed made it even better to snuggle up and stargaze. The house is really clean, cozy and homey. Will try our best to come back again just for the vibe. 12/10.

Cabin Getaway
A chandelier of stars above a peaceful getaway cabin. Identical to the photos presented, located on a beautiful piece of land tucked away from the city. Chrissie and Micheal were a delight to communicate with who went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome.
