Forget Artist in residence, when you can actually stay in the residence area of an artist. Gumpy by the Sea is a visual treat, classy, clean and well positioned. When you can get yourself outside there is much to see and do in this lovely corner of Tasmania from visiting the little penguins, the historic light house to a tour of the vineyards.
The native plants around the house is well worth a look as is the walk along the beach.
