The Blue Bush Shack | 4-Bed Bay of Fires Escape

Summary



Unwind at The Blue Bush Shack, a cosy four-bedroom retreat nestled among the native bushland of beautiful Binalong Bay. Just minutes from the stunning beaches of Binalong Bay, Jeanneret Beach and the iconic Bay of Fires, this relaxed coastal hideaway is ideal for families and groups. Enjoy a sunny deck, outdoor firepit, traditional bush-style BBQ and cosy indoor wood heater. With a walking track at the rear of the property and St Helens just a short drive away, it's a wonderful base for exploring Tasmania's East Coast.



The Space



Welcome to The Blue Bush Shack, a charming coastal retreat surrounded by the native flora and fauna of Binalong Bay. With its classic Tasmanian beach-shack character and peaceful bushland setting, it's the perfect place to slow down, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the East Coast.



The property is accessed via an unsealed driveway, which is uneven in some sections. Please take care when driving in, particularly if you have a low-clearance vehicle. Ample private parking is available on arrival.



Outside, enjoy the sunny deck with outdoor seating, a firepit and a traditional bush-style BBQ – perfect for laid-back afternoons and evenings with family and friends. A walking track at the rear of the property offers lovely views towards the turquoise waters and white sandy shores of Binalong Bay. Nearby Jeanneret Beach is also easily accessible and makes a great spot for swimming and family beach days.



Inside, you'll find a cosy and welcoming home with warm timber details and plenty of character. Settle into the living area for a movie on the Smart TV, enjoy a good book or relax beside the indoor wood heater during the cooler months. The dining area comfortably seats six, while the well-equipped kitchen includes a stove, Panasonic convection oven/microwave and the essentials for preparing meals.



The home offers four bedrooms:



Three bedrooms with comfortable queen beds



One bedroom with two single bunk beds

Please note that entry to the property is through the garage. The garage door is manually operated and will need to be opened and closed by hand during your stay.



The Neighbourhood



Located on Tasmania's beautiful East Coast, Binalong Bay is loved for its relaxed coastal atmosphere and spectacular natural scenery. Its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and granite boulders covered in vibrant orange lichen make it a truly memorable place to visit.



Explore the nearby coastal walking trails, discover secluded beaches and hidden coves, or take a scenic drive through the iconic Bay of Fires Conservation Area. The striking contrast of orange-hued rocks against the blue sea creates some of Tasmania's most beautiful coastal scenery.



Jeanneret Beach is nearby and offers a lovely spot for swimming, relaxing by the water and enjoying a day at the beach.



There's plenty to enjoy throughout the region, including swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and fishing. You can also sample fresh local seafood, visit nearby wineries or simply take in an East Coast sunrise or enjoy a picnic by the beach.



For mountain biking enthusiasts, the St Helens Mountain Bike Trails are a short drive away. The renowned trails around Derby are approximately an hour's drive from Binalong Bay, offering another great option for those keen to explore Tasmania's mountain biking scene.



The nearby town of St Helens is just a short drive away and offers cafes, restaurants, boutiques and everyday essentials, including an IGA supermarket, pharmacy and hospital.



Whether you're planning days filled with coastal adventures or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to unwind, Binalong Bay is a wonderful place to experience Tasmania's East Coast.

Lovely family shack

Set near the fantastic granite foreshore of Binalong Bay and short strolls from the beaches, this 4 bedroom shack is the real thing. Many thanks to the owners (and their wonderful bookshelf, too)!

Fantastic home in the bush

We loved this house, tucked away in the bush but only minutes walk from the beach. Every day we walked down to the beach to climb the amazing rocks and explore the area. Walking along the beach to Binalong Bay is fantastic too. The house had everything we needed, and was large and comfortable for the five of us. The wood heater does an amazing job of heating the house, and the lounge area and couch is super comfortable. All the beds were dreamy too, and we loved waking up to the sounds of the birds outside. Highly recommend this home if you want to experience 'getting away from it all' in one of the most beautiful areas of Australia.
