About this property

"WOOLLY BUTT" BUNGALOW

A quaint country setting with its own native animal wetland.

Full kitchen,.Pot belly and electric heat. Cosy and romantic.300 metres to pure white 10 klm long untouched beach.

Location

Centrally located on Tasmanias East coast.One of the few truely untouched places left on earth.Situated right on the coast about 10 kilometres south of Scamander along the coastal road, turn off the main road into the quiet little seaside town of Falmouth. Home to a small number of local residents and holidaymakers. Grants lagoon flows out to sea at Falmouth and is a great place for swimming, surfing or a canoe paddle
Small boats can be launched here to access the lobster and flathead fishing grounds in the area. As well as friendly locals.

The East Coast offers by white beaches, secluded, sheltered bays and spectacular headlands. It is Tasmanias sun coast, edged by crystal blue waters and clusters of holiday homes that have tied generations of families to annual bouts of rest and recreation. And the East Coast beckons you to explore beyond the shore and beneath the sea to giant kelp forests and caves, or even further to the continental shelf, where the big game fish run.
All along the coast, bright beaches blaze, and the distinctive blue-green East Coast sea washes the shores. Grey-green sheoak trees dapple the ground with cool shade. In the ocean beyond, whales follow ancestral migration routes, dolphins frolic and sea birds wheel on the wind. Inland, rainforest clings to steep mountain passes, and the steep rock buttresses of Ben Lomond frown over the rich farmlands of the Fingal Valley.
Each place has its own surprises - sapphires panned from old mines near Branxholm and Derby; farm cheese at Pyengana; skiing and walks on Ben Lomond’s craggy heights; echoes of a mining heritage at Derby and the Blue Tier; a desert of golden sand dunes at St Helens; rough-cut local granite in the towering Eddystone Point lighthouse; sweeping views of forests and farmlands as the Mathinna road descends to Fingal Valley.
Noted surveyor, John Helder Wedge, first explored the area including Scamander in 1825. The present township is at the outlet of a large river, which proved a real barrier to early travellers, especially Wedge. Originally it was named Borthwick; then Hansons Creek; and finally the Scamander River, its official name today.


Douglas -Apsley National Park
Situated in the middle of the East Coast, Douglas-Apsley National Park is Tasmanias newest park. Spectacular river gorges, waterfalls, tranquil pools, large stands of dry eucalypt and pockets of rainforest combine to make a visit to the park a memorable experience.



Local Attractions

Fishing like you wouldnt believe. Amazing views of North and South Sisters and St Patricks Head.Tennis ,golf and pristine white private beach all close by.

Quaint cottage in perfect position
Lovely little retro cottage tucked away from the rest of the busy east coast. Perfect for dogs as the area is really dog friendly with some great tracks and beaches within walking distance or a short drive. Host was friendly and helpful with advice on where to go dog walking and what was around the area.

Dog friendly, stress free, step back in time
The owners have developed a place of welcome, with everything you need and so carefully thought through. It is quirky, retro and cosy. The location is great, lots of choices for side trips. But you might find yourself having afternoon naps or reading books.

Second stay in six months
It was great to get back for another stay at Woolly Butt Bungalow. Once again enjoyed the coastal scenery, walks and drives around the area. Bungalow was clean & comfy as usual & very cosy at this time of year with the wood heater going at night, especially with a book and glass of wine.

Quirky, Rustic Bungalow
We loved our stay at Woolley Butt Bungalow at Falmouth. It is super rustic with the benefit of a full kitchen, comfy bed, cottage garden and friendly host. It was the perfect base to explore the East Coast and we would happily stay there again.
