Spring Beach Getaway

Perched high on the cliffs overlooking the rugged beauty of Tasmania’s East Coast, ‘Sisters’ is a uniquely reimagined holiday home that promises both tranquility and adventure. Originally built in the 1970s by Adrian Billings, a local war veteran, this cliff-top cabin has been thoughtfully restored by an architect, blending the charm of the past with modern comforts. Set amidst breathtaking landscapes, this retreat offers guests an unparalleled escape from the everyday, with expansive ocean views, a serene forest backdrop, and the luxury of complete privacy.

The heart of ‘Sisters’ lies in its moody, cozy atmosphere. Inside, a wood heater in the living area invites you to relax by the fire, while outdoors, the wood-fired hot tub provides a peaceful spot to soak under the stars. The cabin’s original 70s design elements, like its timberwork and rustic charm, have been preserved and complemented by modern touches. Whether you're curled up with a book in front of the fireplace or enjoying the ultimate shack luxury in the hot tub, this is a place where you can truly disconnect and recharge.

The cabin’s split-level design offers space for up to six guests, with a layout that caters to both comfort and fun. The master bedroom looks out over the surrounding forest with glimpses of Spring Beach in the distance, while the second bedroom offers views of Maria Island through the trees. For kids, the bunk room is a dream come true, featuring built-in timber bunks with playful cut-outs and a secret cubby house for hours of imaginative fun. A large outdoor deck, along with a smaller elevated one, provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining and unwinding as you take in the fresh sea air.

The location of ‘Sisters’ is truly special. With direct access to the cliff track, you’re just minutes away from the pristine sands of Spring Beach. For those who enjoy a bit more exploration, the hidden gem of Stapleton’s Beach awaits to the south, offering a more secluded beach experience with jaw-dropping views across Mercury Passage. The area’s untouched natural beauty and quiet beaches make it an ideal destination for those seeking peace and a connection with nature.

When it comes to activities in the area, there's plenty to do. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Maria Island, accessible via ferry, where you can hike, bike, and observe Tasmanian wildlife, such as wombats and kangaroos. For history buffs, the Darlington Probation Station on Maria Island is a fascinating convict site to explore. Closer to the cabin, you can take a leisurely walk along Spring Beach, try your hand at fishing in the Prosser River, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings.

Whether you're looking to reconnect with nature or simply relax by the fire, 'Sisters' offers a unique and unforgettable stay. With its combination of history, architectural charm, and breathtaking location, it’s more than just a holiday house – it’s a place to create lasting memories on Tasmania’s magnificent east coast.
