What was there not to like! The beds were excellent. The bathroom and the rest of the amenities were first class. The view was incredible. Back verandah with a cup of tea and biscuits watching the sun going down was incredible.

Property info

Nestled on the waterfront in central Coles Bay township, Driftwood is one of the few properties where you are surrounded by trees and birdlife, and yet only a short stroll to restaurants, cafes, shops, kayaks, and Wineglass Bay Cruises. Explore, Relax and Rejuvenate at this stunning property proudly managed by Freycinet Holiday Houses. Access to the secluded “little cove” and rocky foreshore are immediately in front of the property. This architecturally designed home was built by its owners to enjoy the best of Coles Bay in contemporary comfort and style. Floor to ceiling windows slide open on both sides of the living area. When you step out onto the front patio area, take a glass of wine, and watch the ocean and late afternoon sun changing the colours across the Hazards Mountain range. Step out through the back sliding doors and you are in a sun-drenched, private entertainment courtyard, with BBQ. Being one of the old original town blocks, it then extends as lawn and into bush with mature trees, giving you space, and letting you simply sit, relax, and take in the sounds of the sea, birds, and nature. In keeping with its outstanding location, is its design and fit out. Easy living at its best, the fully fitted-out kitchen includes expresso machine and purified tap water and features a large granite island bench that opens to the living area and fireplace. Made for all seasons, start your day with an early morning swim at Muirs Beach, just a short walk away, and rinse off the salt and sand under the outdoor hot shower. In winter pull on your beanie and join the Coles Bay coastal walk that goes past the driveway. Or grab a book and cuppa and curl up on the massive window box in the master bedroom that faces the ocean and Hazards. Reverse cycle and wall panel heating, plus underfloor heating in each bathroom creates instant comfort while the wood heater (fireplace can only be used from May to September) is there for relaxed long winter evenings.
