Contemporary design, a marine colour scheme, audacious views and all mod cons (big-screen TV, gas cooking, flash barbecue) equate to a great Tasman Peninsula bolthole. It’s in a quiet spot with just a narrow strip of scrub between you and the sea. You’ll be spending a lot of time sitting, sipping and admiring the sunset from the wraparound deck. Sleeps four.
