Our family of four (Mum, Dad, kids aged 15 and 5) have just spent four nights at Jay & Naomi’s lovely property, Miyabi Beach Retreat. I really recommend staying a few days here - we used it as a base to explore Freycinet (Wineglass Bay), the Bay of Fires, a morning in Scamander and the rest of the time, enjoying a glass of wine on the verandah, checking out the beach below and chatting with the sheep on the property (a particular highlight for my 5 yo daughter). We were able to explore this lovely part of the East Coast at a relaxed pace and it was really special.
The house itself was wonderful! As others have mentioned previously, the beds are so comfortable (we all slept so well, every night) and it is beautifully quiet. The design of the house is modern with lovely furniture and an excellent and well-equipped kitchen. The BBQ was also great - my husband is a BBQ connoisseur and loved cooking on it! We had planned on eating out on our final night - I recommend doing some planning as we tried to book The Iron House Brewery (only 3 km down the road) but it was fully booked. As we’d used all our groceries and therefore couldn’t stay in, this necessitated a trip back to Scamander for dinner. We would have preferred to stay close to Miyabi on our final night as we loved it so much.
Naomi was very helpful ahead of our stay - answering questions and giving us ideas about things to do - and she also checked in with us while we were there to ensure we were enjoying the house. There were lots of lovely touches - gorgeous linen and plenty of fluffy towels, colouring-in for my youngest, cheese & wine in the fridge, a choice of cereals for breakfast along with Vegemite, peanut butter, jam etc - even a sewing kit in the bathroom (which we used to repair my teenager’s head scarf). The temperature inside was always comfortable (we cooled the house as we arrived on a hot day and also warmed it as a couple of mornings were a bit cool). Sitting outside, there are lovely soft blankets to grab if you’re feeling cool but are enjoying the view too much to head inside!
The entire family loved our stay - thoroughly recommend Miyabi as a wonderful spot to base yourself when visiting this lovely part of Tassie.
