About this house rental
Gull Cottage, with views of Georges Bay, is the perfect peaceful place to unwind, explore, walk, fish, read, or just relax and enjoy.
The Cottage is exceptionally comfortable for short or longer stays and is perfect for couples wanting to reconnect, to get away for some time together, or adults travelling together and exploring the east coast of Tasmania. It is large enough to offer everyone their own space.
Accommodating up to 6 guests, the master bedroom has a king size bed, ensuite and sitting room. Upstairs are two large bedrooms with queen beds, with views out to the bay. Built-in wardrobes are provided in all bedrooms. Newly installed air conditioning units in the bedrooms add to your comfort. There is a mezzanine bathroom with toilet, and additional toilet downstairs.
The Cottage has been renovated, oozing character and charm. The sun filled dining room with its large dining table is a wonderful gathering place for lazy lunches, to enjoy a great meal, good wine and maybe cards or a board game. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need for your stay, and the large Falcon range has two ovens, a grill and six gas hotplates - perfect for cooking up a storm. Modern washer and dryer, outdoor clothes lines, iron and ironing board provide all your laundry needs.
From the garden, guests are welcome to use seasonal herbs.
The comfortable lounge room invites you to enjoy the warmth of the fireplace in cooler weather, with wood provided. There are DVDs, CDs, board games, dominoes and cards, and NBN is connected for wifi access.
The deck has a barbeque and offers a perfect place to eat, relax, have a quiet drink, and enjoy the bay views and sunset. A popular fishing jetty is only 2 minutes walk from the door, and you might even watch others pull in a catch.
A short 4 minute drive or 35 minute walk around the bay takes you into pretty St Helens where you will find everything you'll need including cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, butcher, bakeries, newsagent, liquor store and chemist. Family fishing is popular in the local area and St Helens is well known for game fishing. The Information Centre offers a wealth of knowledge, and the History Room tells the story of the area's tin-mining history and heritage.
St Helens is the largest town on the north-east coast and just a few kilometres to Binalong Bay and the southern end of the beautiful Bay of Fires, highly acclaimed by Lonely Planet.
The local area abounds with exceptional views, beaches, walks, fishing and bird watching.
We welcome you to stay a while, recharge your energies, and enjoy.

What a way to start and end the day and all hours in between - looking out over the water and boats. Loved the house, the amenities, the styling and yet again the calming view. Loved it.

Seamless rental experience and the cottage over delivers in all areas. The bedrooms are large with quality bedding. The kitchen is spacious and the living areas have views of the bay. It is the best accomodation we have stayed in and we didn't want to leave. Better than five stars.

This is a stunning home in a beautiful location. The photos don't do the property justice.
There are 3 generous bedrooms, each one has a view over St Helens bay. The gardens are wonderfully maintained and were full of birds and daffodils.
The bed and chairs were super comfy (I totally need to own the chairs in the sun room!) and the linens on the bed were deliciously soft.
The kitchen is spacious with a fabulous cooker - it was so big two people can use it simultaneously. The kitchen had everything we needed (however, if you don't like French press coffee, bring your own Moka).
St Helens is only a few minutes drive away and it has everything you need for a short stay or a month.
I seriously can't recommend this property enough. Do yourself a favour, don't think about it, just book!

Gorgeous view over the bay. The home has everything we needed. Great spot to explore Bay of Fires and other areas. We didn’t eat out as the cooking facilities were fantastic.

Home away from home
I have stayed at this beautiful property multiple times and I have loved it every time, the only one complaint I have is I hate leaving, gary and trish and cleaners go above and beyond to make my mum and I comfortable, I can't wait to go back. Thanks again.

Home away from home
This is my 3rd time staying at this gorgeous property and I can't wait to go back and stay again. They go out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, like pulling the master bedroom mattress down on the floor for my mum because she can't get into the bed as she is short and elderly. Also I was very excited that it now has Netflix so I enjoyed a cold winter's day sitting on the couch with a roaring fire, binge watching tv series. The only downside was my sister was unable to visit from Queensland, so she missed out this time, it gives me an excuse to rebook when she can next visit. To sum up, we Love! Love! Love! This beautiful home

Comfortable stay in this pretty cottage
My husband and I spent three very comfortable nights at Gull Cottage while we toured the Bay of Fires area. The cottage has an attractive ambience, was well equipped, and has a lovely view over the harbour. We slept very well in the kingsize bed downstairs, and could easily have accommodated several other members of our family! We self-catered, finding everything we needed in St. Helen's, just a short drive away, and the kitchen/dining room and bbq arrangement at the cottage suited us just fine. If we return to St. Helen's we'll definitely return to Gull Cottage!

Home away from home
I love staying here this is the second time staying here and it lived up to my memories, the owners gary and trish went out of their way to make sure my mother was comfortable as bed was to high for her last time, they organized for the bed to be lowered for her. It has everything you need or want I would highly recommend for anyone to stay there I can't wait to go and stay again

Feels like home
It is a beautiful property my only problem is it wasn't a long enough stay. The wood fire was so warm and toasty as well as the air conditioning in each bedroom, 2 bathrooms and 4 toilets, 2 tv's many dvd's and cd's, the kitchen was divine, my favourite colour, the view looking at the water across the road with the yachts moored there, the charm of the house, plenty of parking, a restaurant only a minute drive away or 5 min walk, can't wait to go and stay again
