Moonbird Beach Shack ~ Ocean Escape
Moonbird beach shack is your home away from home! Perfectly positioned directly across the road from the pristine surf beach of Beaumaris. A great base to explore the Bay of Fires, Freycinet, St Helens and East Coast of Tasmania.
Our shack is a unique space to watch the moon and the sun rise. Enjoy yachts or yellow tailed black cockatoos glide by, from the comfort of the spacious deck or cozy living room. Stroll or swim the sublime expansive beach directly across the road from the shack. Enjoy a coffee or tea on the beach and let the sun warm your day.
When the moon rises there is no better place to be. Set up a picnic on the sand, pour a glass of wine with perhaps a beach fire; our favorite evening ritual.
Two master bedrooms each with dreamy comfortable queen beds to make sleep and relaxation a priority during your Moonbird experience.
Set up with the traveler in mind our contemporary shack is rich in comfort; a place to inspire and restore.
The Moonbird kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare the most delicious feast from local produce collected along your travels. The Moonbird pantry offers a variety of teas including, organic English Breakfast, local organic herbal teas, fresh ground Villano coffee, hot chocolate, cookies to enjoy with your cup of tea by the fire, and marshmallows to roast over the outdoor fire after your days adventures.
There are two ways to enjoy your coffee at Moonbird, French press or stove top espresso.
Olive oil, Apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar and Tasmanian sea salt and Tasmanian pepper berries are part of our pantry.
Retreat to the lounge and enjoy the view, get lost in a book or be entertained watching a movie, warm, cozy and relaxing. When the weather is cooler there is nothing better than relaxing by our Nectar wood fire heater.
Enjoy bath rituals with beautiful Aspa products, make time to soak in the deep bath. If your returning from the beach the private outdoor shower is perfect or take your shower inside, depending on your mood.
Complete laundry, with washing machine and dryer; including ironing facilities.
Outdoor shower for rinsing off after your beach time.
Large outdoor deck with BBQ and outdoor dining setting.
Moonbird perfect base while exploring the East Coast of Tasmania, nestled between The Bay of Fires and Freycinet not to mention the stunning Beaumaris surf beach on your door step and the new exciting St Helens & Derby mountain bike trails in easy access.

Relaxed and beautifully appointed beach shack - plenty of room for all and good spot to base ourselves for exploring the Bay of Fires and the local area, only wish we could have stayed a few more nights.
