About this house rental

Orford is a pretty seaside village about one hour's drive from Hobart. Located in a quiet street near walking trails and a short walk to East Shelly Beach and Spring Beach, The Orford Getaway is the ideal place to relax and unwind.

The Orford Getaway offers excellent accommodation for up to 6 guests. It is a bright and sunny, 3 bedroom home with open plan kitchen-living-dining and ensuite with the main bedroom. The back deck has a gas barbeque perfect for relaxing entertaining. The yard is fenced and secure. There is off-street parking and room for a boat and trailer.

The backyard is fully fenced and ensures safety for pets and children.

East Shelly Beach - a great place for safe swimming, kayaking or just building sandcastles - is just a couple of minutes walk away. The nearby scenic cliff-top walk takes you to magnificent Spring Beach which is famous for its crystal clear water and white sand.

The coastal bike and walking paths are only 50 metres away. The paths are a wonderful way to access the town centre where there are lovely cafes, a local IGA, newsagent and ATM - all open 7 days. Spring Beach is only a 15 minute walk from The Orford Getaway.

Just 15 minute drive to the north is the town of Triabunna. This is where the ferry leaves for Maria Island - a destination not to be missed by nature-lovers and history-buffs.

There is so much to do and see ... but its also a perfect venue for rest and relaxation.

Families will appreciate the proximity to the safe beach which also provides for an energetic walk with the dog before breakfast, a romantic stroll at sunset or try your hand at fishing at any point along the expansive, pristine shoreline.

Historic, bush walks are not far away as well as longer trips along the coast road to the resorts of Swansea and Bicheno as well as world renown sights such as Coles Bay. Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula which feature some of Tasmania’s finest white sandy beaches.

Boat trips exploring the historic coastline with opportunities to view some of Tasmania’s marine life along the way, depart from the nearby fishing port of Triabunna, only 15 minutes drive from Orford.

This property is the first time I’ve booked to stay somewhere and it was everything advertised, and more…..and dog friendly to make it perfect 😍 We all agreed the beds were super comfy, the house was warm (we stayed over a particularly cold and wet weekend), the pantry was full of tea, coffee and an array of herbs and spices, that were clearly not left overs from other visitors! The fully fenced back yard and deck was fantastic for my mini schnauzer, and the area was superbly quiet! We will most definitely be back again!!

We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Orford Getaway. Good for families, close to walks (a must see is the historic quarry site), a short drive to Triabunna for access to Maria Island. Well worth the visit.
