About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Intimate, earthy cottage in Tranquil Setting
A gorgeous, private, cottage, filled with plants and natural light, located in the foothills of the village of Woodbridge on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.
The cottage is oriented away from the main house.
Unique in its design and construction featuring a beautiful cordwood feature wall (you'll understand why we call it the Giraffe House) and beautifully hand-crafted alternate tread stairs.
There is a cosy queensize bed on the mezzanine with fantastic southerly sky views. You may be lucky enough to capture the Southern lights Aurora Australis.
Relax in the lounge and be warmed by the radiant heat from the woodstove. The well-equipped kitchen, providing essential pantry items, has a gas cooktop, microwave/oven, and fridge.
The kitchen dining area looks west to the Woodbridge Hill, a comfy couch allows for basking in the afternoon winter son whilst watching the abundant bird and wildlife.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower and composting toilet. There is a small office area.
The Giraffe House provides a perfect intimate base to spend a peaceful weekend or week away exploring Southern Tasmania's Coal River Valley, the Tasman Peninsula, Huon Valley, Channel and Bruny Island or simply relaxing on the veranda watching the birds whilst the sun sets over the mountain.
There are many great local attractions, vineyards, restaurants, & outdoor activities within easy access. The Giraffe House was built in 1985 and has had several makeovers most recently during the Winter of 2018.
It is only a short walk to the foreshore where you will find all manner of marine life and sea birds. Grab one of our kayaks (fee applies) and paddle around to wreck in Little Peppermint Bay. Come for a sail on on Channel (www.sailingtasmania.com.au)
