Whether your idea of a holiday is adventure or relaxing Alluvion is the perfect base for you. On the beach where the river meets the sea Alluvion is what you would expect in a beach house. Ideally located adjacent to Swan River it has direct & level access to a safe beach.
Take our sit on top kayaks ( available for hire) or go beachcombing along the foreshore and marvel at the thousands of tiny red crabs that scurry around at low tide. There's an ideal fishing spot at the nearby jetty to make use of complimentary fishing gear that is provided. Or try a game of golf at the nearby golf course (500m away - 9 holes pay & play). We provide two complimentary golf sets if you didn't have room in the car for yours!
Or simply sit and relax, a nice Tasmanian red or white in hand, and enjoy the bird life at property ranging from a variety of honeyeaters to seabirds diving for fish. All this from the rear deck.
Alluvion is located approximately 6 km from the township of Coles Bay where you can find a range of restaurants, cafes, local tavern and two general stores. A further 5km away is the iconic Freycinet National Park. Splendour at the world famous Hazards, which change colour depending on time of day and light conditions, or take a walk to the lookout to marvel at the iconic Wineglass Bay, a fantastic photo opportunity, and if you're feeling up to it walk down to the beach and marvel at the fine soft white sand and the beautiful pristine waters.
A holiday to remember.
The Cottage
The property sleeps up to seven people across two queen rooms and room with three single beds (one is portable).
Fully furnished Alluvion has a very homely feel. The living areas are open plan and include a well equipped kitchen, spacious living & dining areas and even a play corner for the kids. The layout provids guests with the opportunity to relax and unwind whilst re-connecting with family and friends. Alluvion has a well equipped kitchen, modern television and dvd player, linen and towels, and with the deck, barbecue and wood heater, is a cottage for all seasons. This individual property, with plenty of off-street parking, gives scope to enjoy the local birdlife and the garden, which runs down to the beach. Fishing rods are available for fishing off the beach, and golf clubs are provided for use on the nearby nine-hole pay and play course. Discounts apply to off-peak weekly stays.
The Region
Located in the heart of the Great Eastern Drive The Freycinet region includes Coles Bay and the magnificent Freycinet National Park, with its acclaimed bushwalks and activities including sea kayaking, rock climbing, ocean cruising and wildlife observation. Local oysters and cool-climate wines are east coast highlights. To the south, Maria Island National Park is a short ferry trip from the coastal town of Triabunna and to the north is the world renown Bay of Fires, located at the township of St Helens.
Alluvion Beach Cottage occupies a wonderful position on the banks of the Swan River and Moulting Lagoon. It provides an excellent base for exploring the beauty of the Freycinet Peninsular National Park (the walk up to the Wineglass Bay viewpoint is a must do!) and the areas around Bicheno with its penguins and Swansea. Alluvion Beach Cottage itself is a great place for bird watching with many species seen in the area and we saw wallabies close by.
An attempted kayaking trip was a disappointment as the kayaks we hired at the cottage are really only suitable for children playing in the immediate area rather than an excursion of any distance by adults and there is little depth of water under most of the tidal range.
We really enjoyed our stay at Alluvion and were really impressed by the National Park which provided the highlights of our visit to east Tasmania.
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend in this clean, quirky and beautifully located beach house. The views from the top deck are simply stunning and while we spent hours watching the changing light over Freycinet we had time for several walks on the oh so very close beach and as if all that wasn't enough we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean....bliss.
We had such an amazing time staying at this property. The house was neat and clean, beds were comfortable and the location was PERFECT! Will definitely be returning for another trip :)
Alluvion Beach cottage is a fantastic place to stay if you want a really peaceful location with easy access to beach and channel. The kids love it for all the activities that the location provides - kayaking, fishing, swimming, jetty jumping, pippie hunting, crabs, bird life, beach walks, bike riding (on very safe road) and parents love it for the relaxation it provides. Justin and Rose are very accommodating hosts and the cottage provides everything you need for a great holiday.
Lovely spot and house - the kids had a ball and it is such a great family home
If you’re looking for somewhere where you don’t have to worry about being in a display home then this is for you. Great shower, lovely and warm with a wood fire and fully fenced for your dog. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best, would love to go back when it’s warmer and for longer. Thanks for letting us stay!!
