Cable Station Accommodation

Top choice in Tasmania


Keep cute company at this property built to carry Tasmania’s first telephone link to the mainland. Little penguins come ashore within walking distance and the two beautifully furnished guest units (sleeping two or three) have some fabulous touches: claw-foot tubs with bath salts and robes; and homemade bread and jams at breakfast.
