A Refined Dune-Top Escape Overlooking Waubs Bay

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged across two levels of a beach house positioned directly on the dunes above Waubs Bay on Tasmania’s east coast. From the elevated site, uninterrupted views extend across the turquoise waters of the bay toward Diamond Island and the open Tasman Sea. The house sits only steps from the sand yet remains quietly set back within native coastal vegetation, allowing the landscape and the sound of the ocean to shape the experience of the place.

Inside, the architecture focuses on light and outlook. Expansive glazing frames the bay while natural materials and soft textures create a relaxed interior atmosphere. The main living area brings together lounge seating, dining space, and kitchen beneath a simple, open plan arrangement that keeps attention directed toward the changing colors of the sea. A wood-fuelled fireplace anchors the living room during cooler evenings, while modern amenities such as Starlink internet and a dedicated workspace allow the house to function comfortably for both leisure and remote work.

Sleeping accommodation is distributed across three bedrooms designed for flexibility. The upper level includes the primary bedroom with a king bed, workspace, and views toward the water. A second bedroom upstairs offers king-split bedding that can be arranged as two singles. On the lower level, the third bedroom also provides flexible twin sleeping arrangements and convenient access to the second bathroom and laundry area.

Outdoor living extends naturally from the interior spaces. A large deck faces the bay, creating a place for long outdoor meals and quiet mornings watching the water. An outdoor kitchen with grill and barbecue supports relaxed dining, while a fire pit and seating area provide a gathering point as the sun sets over the coastline. A path from the property leads directly toward the beach, and an outdoor shower allows guests to return easily from the water.

Bicheno remains one of Tasmania’s most recognizable coastal villages, known for its relaxed pace, penguin colonies, and proximity to Freycinet National Park. From this dune-top setting, the shoreline, village cafés, and nearby walking tracks are all within easy reach.

This residence suits travelers drawn to Tasmania’s east coast for its ocean landscapes, coastal wildlife, and the quiet rhythm of life beside the sea.
