West End Beach House

The East Coast


Architect-designed to have a minimal environmental footprint, this fabulous, roll-roofed holiday house en route to Mt Tanner has a very Australian vibe: corrugated iron, lots of fold-back glass, sunny decks and an outdoor post-beach shower, all a short stroll from the sand. And the sunken bath is something to cherish! Four-night minimum stay in peak summer. Sleeps up to seven.
