BICHENO BEACH BUNGALOW: Beautiful Waterfront Pad!

BharathRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the sand with incredible ocean views and stunning surroundings. Super comfortable beds and a great outdoor space made it feel like a true home away from home. Communication with the host was smooth and easy, and check-in was a breeze. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxing and memorable beach getaway. We can’t wait to come back! --- Want it more casual, humorous, or tailored to a specific experience you had?

Kalang B & B Coastal retreat - Entire House

ElizabethRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We have just completed a week's stay in St Helens. Our accommodation was spotless and had everything that you needed and more. Breakfast provisions were supplied and there were thoughtful extras in each space. The accommodation is on a lot with a second house in front, close to each other. As peaceful and beautiful as it was, any noise echoed across the valley like dogs barking from the house in front and behind. This is not the owners fault at all but something to note. That said, we would not hesitate to stay again and really enjoyed our stay.

LisaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Wow. Shane's place exceeded our expectations. What a great place to relax and explore Bicheno and Freycinet. A morning walk along the nearby beach and friendly neighbours (the sheep) added to this wonderful stay. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in this area.

Swansea seaside shack.

DeniseRating, 5 stars3 days ago
A wonderful place and a great area. Close to beach/park and 20 minute walk to shops. Great outdoor area with fire pit and bbq indoor area was big and comfy for a large group. Missed a dryer or outside clothesline but mainly cause we had 6 adults, a toddler and 8 month old twins 😂

BAY OF FIRES VISTA Boutique Accommodation

SueRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A fantastic location. Beautifully appointed and perfect for a catch up with old friends. The top lounge affords amazing coast view and comfy couch to curl up with an cuppa, the bottom lounge cosy with the wood stove and any number of lovely outdoor places to sit and enjoy the great garden which is perfect for a dog. Kitchen has all we needed and the wood fired pizza oven was fun for home made pizzas. This truly is a stand out place to stay. Immaculately clean and Jan was responsive and provided great support for our check in and stay. Thank you!

The French House

TanyaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our group of 5 ladies had a brilliant stay, each having their own bedroom and ensuite. The layout was perfect and very quiet, we couldn’t even hear showers running. The stairs were easy to navigate and the dining room, kitchen and lounge was spacious and well appointed. The linen was a good standard and pristine and even beach towels were provided. Everything was exceptionally clean, even the plug holes! Lovely rear courtyard with bbq available and all the heating options were well stacked with wood and ready to go in a moment if needed. Great lighting and all windows worked and were covered with fly screens. Very clear communications and I felt the host took their duty of care very seriously, ensuring we were safely checked in also. We were all very impressed and look forward to being able to stay again.

Your guide to Scamander

Welcome to Scamander

Nestled at the mouth of the Scamander River in the Break O’Day region of Tasmania’s northeast coast, the low-key coastal town of Scamander makes the dream beach destination real. A popular seaside holiday spot, Scamander is blessed with long, white-sand beaches lapped by turquoise water. Overlooked by the Scamander Surf Life Saving Club, the beach south of the river mouth is generally the safest for swimming. Just behind the surf club, there’s a skate park and a kids’ playground. The Scamander River is a popular fishing spot, renowned for its southern black bream — a moist, white-fleshed fish great for barbecuing.

Other local attractions include Hendersons Lagoon to the south, known for its birdwatching, and the surf breaks between Beaumaris to the north and Bicheno to the south — this is Tasmania’s Surf Coast, after all. Scamander is also perfectly located for day trips to the Bay of Fires to the north, and Douglas-Apsley National Park and the Freycinet Peninsula to the south.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Scamander

Scamander is primarily a summertime destination, with December to February generally the best months to hit the beach, and to tee off at Scamander’s nine-hole golf course. This is also the busiest time of year for Tasmania’s East Coast beach towns, however, so if you prefer a quieter scene you may want to time your trip for late autumn or early spring, when it’s still warm enough to swim. The cooler months are also ideal for walks and for exploring nearby national parks. If you’re visiting in June, don’t miss the Bay of Fires Arts Festival held across the Bay of Fires and Break O’Day regions. The Scamander has good bream fishing year-round, but some local anglers say November to March is the best time to throw in a line.


Top things to do in Scamander

Douglas-Apsley National Park

Sixty kilometres (or around an hour’s drive) south of Scamander, Douglas-Apsley National Park is one of Tasmania’s lesser-known pockets of nature. But it’s well worth a visit, with the 5.6-kilometre-return Apsley River Waterhole and Gorge track (allow two to three hours) making for a great day out — don’t forget your swimwear. There’s also an easy, 1.2-kilometre-return loop track to the waterhole.

Hendersons Lagoon

Directly south of Scamander, Hendersons Lagoon is home to hundreds of varieties of native plants and around 80 species of marshland and woodland and birds. With seven kilometres of well-marked trails surrounding the clear, calm lagoon, it’s a great place to go for a leisurely stroll with your binoculars.

Binalong Bay

Known for the brilliant orange lichen that grows on the granite boulders lining its beaches, Tasmania’s Bay of Fires is home to some of Australia’s most beautiful stretches of sand. Just 30 minutes’ drive north of Scamander, Binalong Bay is the area’s main beach, with clear waters and offshore reefs making it great for snorkelling. There are also some beautiful rock pools to be found on the headland.
