About this house rental
beachbreak - Right at the waters edge, this property is a comfortable and fully equipped modern 2 bedroom home featuring quality fittings and furnishings. Hands down the best private accommodation on Opossum Bay beach with sweeping 180 degree views across the Derwent River to Mount Wellington and beyond. A mere stroll to the world class 18 hole ‘Arm-End’ golf course. If you want the best view and the WOW factor then look no further! This is the venue for your next getaway.
Get lost in the serenity, enjoying stunning sunsets on the deck with uninterrupted beach and mountain views, swim in the sheltered bay directly out the front or make the most of some of Tasmanias best surf beaches just minutes away. A perfect place for fishing, diving, boating, kayaking, hiking, golfing and exploring or just curl up and read a book. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping at the shore.
If you are lucky enough to secure beachbreak Opossum Bay during the famous ‘Sydney to Hobart’ yacht race, settle in and watch the spectacular yachts tack into the bay on the final leg of their journey to Hobart. Book early for the summer as beachbreak is extremely popular from December to March and bookings fill early.
All within 40 minutes of Hobart CBD and 30 minutes from Hobart Airport make beachbreak Opossum Bay an attractive destination for couple getaways and family holidays or simply to take time out. The Opossum Bay Store is a short stroll away and most supplies are available. Jetty and boat ramp is at the southern end of the bay and there is ample off street parking for cars and a boat at beachbreak.

Activities - summer or winter, beachbreak is the ultimate beach holiday!
beachbreak is located in a unique part of Tasmania. Absolute waterfront location means you literally walk out the door and onto the sand. Kayaking, fishing, diving, surfing, walks along the beach are right at your door, as well as the most spectacular 180 degree sunset views over the Derwent River.
The proposed Arm End Golf precinct at Opossum Bay is within view and just a short stroll from beachbreak. This makes beachbreak a very attractive stay for golf getaways and we are excited to offer golf accommodation packages in the future. The 18 hole course is expected to be completed soon. Another nearby 9 hole course at South Arm is a short 5 minute drive.

With plenty on offer you can do as much or as little as you like. In fact you will most likely prefer just to stay at home and enjoy the amazing view and relaxation beachbreak offers!

I’ve not been back to beachbreak since before COVID and it was as lovely as ever. The house continues to be well appointed, cosy and comfortable, and the view just never gets old. Brought my partner here for the first time and he loved it too.

A lovely spot to stay! Even though this property was a little out of the way, the location certainly added to our memorable Tasmanian holiday! We didn’t see dolphins, but we’re fortunate enough to experience some bioluminescence in the waves breaking on the shoreline during the night - visible from our bedroom window, followed a couple of hours later by the amazing site of a huge cruise ship fully lit, accompanied by tug boats going past our window just before 6 am - who would have thought! We may also have seen the Australis borealis on Thursday night, but as we didn’t have photographic gear set up, can’t be sure on that as this event isn’t normally obvious to the naked eye.
Would have been nice if the bed linen and towels were a bit better quality. The bed was comfy and the view from bed was amazing! The shower operation was a bit tricky to get to work and fortunately neither of us have long legs otherwise the toilet could have been difficult to use.

What an amazing place to stay. It's a true 'beach holiday' and once you hear the waves literally outside the window, you'll be won over.
We had one of our best holidays here. The house had everything we needed and was in the most incredible location. The kayaks were a welcome bonus - sunset paddles were definitely a highlight. Highly recommend, we'll most definitely be back :)

What a location! We really enjoyed our stay in Opossum Bay and would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to getaway from the hustle and bustle, but still wanting to be close enough to Hobart to get in on the action. Our family of 4 took full advantage of the gorgeous weather and enjoyed the incredible beach access. The view was stunning and the house well equipped for our small family to rest and relax. Beds and amenities were all on point and there is a lovely little store close by if you need any bits and pieces. If you’re wondering if you should take the holiday, you should!

The property has all you can want for a short or long stay. Perfect location on a quite beach . If only Tassie weather was a bit better for a summer stay!!
8.0
Was nice to get away for a couple of days with the kids. House itself had everything we needed, may need a really big spring clean & safety check some day. And the front lock tightened, otherwise all good. Could not fault the location and view, and the beach at your door, beautiful. Liked that the spiral stairs had a child gate for peace of mind. The front door step is a little steep so please be careful if you have little ones or elderly people staying with you. We had a couple of falls myself and little one. Perhaps a first aid kit that can include, antiseptic & or vinegar for jellyfish stings would be handy to have on hand. The owner was very friendly and communicative.
We had a lovely stay. Cannot wait to visit again.

Perfect water front location for a relaxing getaway. Comfortable home with all the amenities and a spectacular view.

Ideal for anyone wanting absolute beachfront - walk out the back and you’re on the beach, which is sheltered and safe for swimming. Opossum Bay is, for good reason, a popular beach break location for Hobart families being only about 45 minutes from town.
Living areas had comfortable furniture, super large TV, some toys and games for kids, and plenty of kitchen utensils, including coffee machine and four slice toaster!
Modern bathroom, but all facilities in the one room.
Steep site so access steps to house and then down to beach not suitable for guests with mobility issues. Internal spiral stairs (necessary to reach bathroom) also difficult for less mobile guests, but owner makes this information clear so no surprises.

Absolute beachfront within the last of the super chilled suburbs of Hobart, embrace the soothing sounds from the kitchen or lay back in bed and look directly at the ocean. Incredible location and all the facilities you require for a weekend away in Paradise!

Perfect
Beachbreak was everything it claimed to be. The views were even more stunning than I was expecting and it's a joy to cook in the well-equipped kitchen with its fantastic outlooks. The location is a rarity, with steps going directly to the beach, and easy access to charming Saltcotes Beach and walks in the reserve. Hard to beat for a quiet, relaxed, beach break.
