About this property
Above the Waves - unparalleled connection to the sea and nature
Above the Waves is a truly unique, tranquil and relaxing Tasmanian East Coast retreat set up with the comforts of home. With untouched and picturesque views of the ocean, you can nearly touch the waves, couples with the sound of breaking waves, it really is the most idyllic ocean retreat for a single or couple. It is a place to relax, reflect, and reconnect with the sea and nature. I feel fortunate to live in this special place and I look forward this private retreat with other like-minded people. Falmouth is the first coastal settlement on the East Coast and is now a small village with a beautiful lagoon, surf beach and coastal walking track to enjoy.
