Worth planning for...
Roaring Beach Retreat is well named. Its a truly brilliant home beautifully appointed and comfortable in every way. The beach is stunning and if youre looking to getnaway from it all this is the place. I recommend doing a good food and wine shop and coming prepared ...Dover is only 10 minutes away and the IGA there is OK. The RSL also provides pub food but theres little else. Better to self cater kick back and enjoy the great vibe of Surveyors Bay. We spent 6 beautiful nights here and would absolutely recommend.

Beachside Beauty
Perfectly located across the quiet road from a fantastic white sand beach. It was a beautiful comfortable home with beachy decor. Very secure yard for our friends dog, who loved watching for rabbits. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed except a BBQ, but the kitchen works very well.Loved listening to the sound of the waves.Bug spray was essential in summer.

About the host

Hosted by Honni Chilcott

Host profile image
I work full time as a high school teacher. We live in Hobart and love to get to the beach on weekends.

Why they chose this property

We built this house in 2006. We fell in love with Big Roaring Beach and the surrounding community and found the perfect block to build a holiday home for our family.

What makes this property unique

We designed the house so that all of the living was upstairs to make the most of the views. We love sitting on the front deck overlooking the ocean. The back deck has superb views of the rural setting and makes the most of the afternoon sun. Even on a cold winters day, it is impressive sitting by the open fire and watching the weather change over the ocean.
