Roaring Beach Retreat is a wonderfully relaxing house in which to unwind, and it was amazing that we could also bring our four legged friend. The house is very comfortable, and even though it was just the two of us, the open plan living/kitchen/dining would also be perfect if staying at the house with family or a couple of friends. The view across the gum trees to the beach is beautiful, and we loved going to bed every night listening to the waves breaking against the shore. The kitchen is well set up with everything you could need if you're going to cook. We stopped at some roadside stalls on the way to pick up local veg etc and we'd recommend bringing as much as you can with you as the supermarkets in Dover & Geeveston are convenient but a little limited. It was extremely windy on the weekend when we stayed, but we still managed to enjoy some calmer moments outside on the deck, and when it got too much we gladly curled up on the very comfortable leather couches to continue reading. Although visiting in late spring, the fire was very convenient when we experienced a cold snap and it heated the upper level very well. As we've visited the area previously we were already aware of the lack of phone reception (on Optus) and being 'out of range' was one of the reasons why we chose to stay in Roaring Beach, as it's the perfect place to switch off and just chill out. Our pup enjoyed running on the beach every day - and most of the time we were pretty much the only people on the beach during our entire stay. Honni very thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine (thank you!) and has also provided loads of information on walks/local attractions to visit/places to eat. We're very much looking forward to coming back again soon, thank you Honni for sharing this gorgeous little pocket of Tasmania with us.
