If your idea of a holiday is staying in a place that oozes rustic charm framed by the majesty of endless sunsets, nature and the ocean, then the Red Gate Cottage at Dennes Point is the place for you.
This little gem is not flash but the minute you arrive, you are drawn in by its charm and ability to speak to you of times spent by families before enjoying hot summers in cool waters and frosty winters cuddling around the fireplace. It has a gorgeous feel of honesty and happiness.
The cottage is clean and comfortable and I think the fact that the furniture and decor is old and yesteryear actually adds to its charm. Mod cons include a flatscreen TV (good selection of DVDs) and good music system which is great
The main bedroom has a lovely soft bed, crisp linen and heated mattress covers for chilly nights. You can relax on the bed and enjoy the endless ocean views and the sunsets are breathtaking.
There is a lovely fireplace and good supply of chopped firewood ready to go together with what's needed to build a fire. A pantry with the basics was also a nice touch adding to the homeliness of the place.
Gorgeous beach walks every evening with skies painted colours and a glass of Tassie wine every evening will linger long for us.
Be mindful that Dennes point is about 40mins drive from Adventure Bay in the South where the boat tours depart from and also a good supply store. We knew that and were attracted to the isolation of the place that offered as the peacefulness that we needed.
