Wavestation Farmhouse, Southern Tasmania. <br>Views to Bruny Island

WAVESTATION In Southern Tasmania

You can enjoy this unique property set in two and a half acres of waterfront parklike surrounds in Middleton and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. This is your home away from home. Think of Bruni D'Entrecasteaux sailing past in the picturesque waters between Bruny Island and mainland Tasmania searching for a spot to land. Just think this could have been a French outpost!

Wavestation is ideally situated 45 kilometers south of Hobart over looking the water towards Bruny Island.

It is very central to many wonderful places in Southern Tasmania. You can visit Hobart for the day, possibly on a Saturday to the Salamanca market, catch the car ferry to Bruny Island at Kettering which is 10 minutes away, cross the neck to see magnificent Adventure Bay and the lighthouse and come home to relax in complete privacy. This is like your own home, plenty of space to explore the garden and the woods adjacent.

Study the birdlife and relax on the protected verandah watching the boats sail by. Walk along the quiet beach road. The secluded location ensures a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Plenty of outside space including a gazebo to enjoy an afternoon drink and evening barbecue.

Discover Southern Tasmania, the waterways, orchards and magnificent vistas from the hills behind. Visit nearby Peppermint Bay Hotel to enjoy music, food and local life. Art Farm Birchs Bay restaurant is nearby. The Middleton general store is well stocked and a five minute walk away.

Drive to Cockle Creek the southernmost tip of Australia.
Enjoy boutique cheeseries and local produce. Take the road from Woodbridge to Cygnet and have lunch at the Red Velvet lounge.There is boatbuilding at Franklin and the walkway in the trees in the Tarkine Valley.

Two bedrooms: One with Kingsize bed and the other with twin beds which can be converted to a queensize bed. Please indicate when you book

The kingsize bedroom with quality linen. This sleigh bed has outstanding comfort to enjoy a peaceful night. The bedroom has plenty of space and a couch to read in quiet contemplation. The twin bedroom has its own entry for early morning walks.





The kitchen and living areas

The kitchen is well appointed and close to the warm fireplace in the spacious living areas furnished with comfortable couches to enjoy reading, conversation, watching television or generally enjoying the view. Stroll onto the veranda for your evening cocktails and enjoy the boats passing by. On cold winter days the Tasmanian wood heater heats this room to make it cosy.
There is plenty of firewood in the shed. Usually there is a supply on the side veranda. Please replace this when it is used. For convenience there is an airconditioner providing heating and cooling near the dining area.

NBN internet is available.

Beautiful and cozy home on the Channel
I just had a 9 night stay in the fabulous property. The home is beautifully appointed with quality inclusions. I enjoyed cooking meals and kept cozy and warm with either the wood fire or heat pump. The beds were also very comfy. Fantastic views of the Channel, birdlife and boats. I was fortunate to photograph the Sothern Aurora from the jetty very near the house.

Excellent Family Hideaway
The whole family had an amazing Holiday around Tasmania and the farmhouse was very well setup, relaxing spot. It was about 50 mins drive from Hobart (Peppina Italian Restaurant - well worth the trip). The ferry to Bruny island is very close and the house itself has all the things you will need to settle in and just relax. The kitchen is also well setup for anything we wished to cook, though in the end we mainly used the little BBQ and outside table sitting under the porch for our meals. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you wished to take some time and just lounge around in nature for a while, right near the beach.

Disappointed
We arrived 5 mins early for our 3pm checkin to find the cleaner just leaving. So the wet floors were not an issue. However, given that the weather was cold, wet and miserable, it wouldn't have been too much for a heater to have been switched on for our arrival. The lack of firewood and kindling and a fireplace full of ash meant that we needed to use a split system a/c instead. This unit was too small for the space and never got the room warm enough. The oven was filthy and we didn't go near it. Sofas in the lounge were threadbare with holes and one arm even having a large tacky cloth patch hastily sewn into it. The coffee machine still had the grinds of the previous occupier in the group head. Food or some other substance was smeared on the top of the machine. White stains were evident on the sacked out green cushions on the sofas. Dining chairs were still on the table. The toilet seat was falling off and in any case it was too small. Walls and other fittings needed a good wipe down to rid them of runs and food marks. Wet towels spinning in the clothes drier on our arrival and then upon letting the owner know, we were asked to fold them and put them on the bench when dry. We stayed in 4 other places during our Tassy trip. This place was the worst. In fact, had we been able to secure other accommodation, we would have moved out.

Beautiful serene location
This was our fourth stay in this beautiful federation home overlooking the D’entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island. A stunning outlook, and beautifully comfortable home. So many birds of different types. Watching them and the visiting wildlife from the verandah whilst drinking in the view was just divine. Thank you!

So relaxing, country charm
Everything from the street appeal to entering the property oozes colonial country charm. The gardens are a particular highlight. The kitchen is well equipped and beds comfortable. Our hosts were quick in responding to our questions once we arrived. Only a short 10 minute walk to the boat launching ramp, community tennis court and the Middleton General Store which had some wonderful local gourmet products to round out our meals. Wonderful stay, amazing views and front porch for cups of tea in the morning. Thankyou.

Just what we needed!
What a gorgeous place to spend a few days with our family. We all had enough space to 'chill' on our own and then enough space to come together for chasings, meals, tv, games, the fire and just sitting together outside gazing at the amazing view. We loved everything about our stay at Wavestation.

Just as good second time
We first visited January 2017 and have just returned from our second trip- some time at Wavestation celebrating my husband’s 50th with a little trip away. The sheer tranquility and peacefulness of the location is so soul-soothing. Thank you for keeping this beautiful home so well for visitors.
