Just 30 minutes from Hobart CBD, but a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take the time to unwind in this calm and beautiful place, surrounded by Tasmanian nature at its purest, in your own piece of paradise. This stunning home is set on 8 acres of light bush, overlooking Ralphs Bay. Just a crown reserve between you and the water. Enjoy complete peace and privacy with constantly changing water views from every room in the house, even the bathroom! Baragoola Retreat is the perfect place for that romantic weekend away, the family getaway, or for a group of friends exploring Tasmania. Indulge yourself with the little extra luxuries, from the inbuilt espresso machine, loose leaf teas, locally made soaps, to the ultimate free-standing bath overlooking the water. Cook up a storm in the chefs kitchen and enjoy your meal indoors, surrounded by the view, or alfresco, on one of the huge decks. Read a book from the library, watch a movie or just relax with a glass of your favourite Tassie beverage in front of a roaring log fire, or out on the deck (depending on the season). A number of beaches are within a few minutes drive, including the great surf at Clifton Beach and the sheltered and safe swimming at Opossum Bay. The fabulous Tangara Trail, accessed from the bottom of the block, provides kilometres of walking track along the waterfront. For the energetic there are a range of activities nearby including fishing, bushwalking, swimming, stand up paddle boarding, surfing and wine tasting. You can even embark on the captivating pursuit of Aurora Australis sightings- Goats Bluff Lookout is a 3 minute drive from Baragoola Retreat's doorstep, and happens to be one of the best places in the Southern Hemisphere to see the auroras. Then again you may just want to spend all your time in the house, eating, drinking, relaxing, and simply spending time with your family and friends! There are 2 bedrooms and the property can sleep up to 4 people. Master Bedroom King bedroom with 1 king bed, a walk in wardrobe, and a TV with free to air. Mt Wellington View Bedroom King bedroom with 1 sofa bed. The sofa bed can be configured as a queen bed. This room also has a ensuite toilet, built in wardrobe space, and incredible views of Ralph's Bay and Mt Wellington. Bathrooms The main bathroom has a large free-standing bath overlooking the view, a large walk-in shower, vanity and toilet. The ensuite (off bedroom 2) has a toilet and vanity. Kitchen Fully equipped and with all mod cons, this kitchen is a dream to cook in. Freestanding stove with 5 burner gas cooktop and 90cm electric oven. Dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, rice cooker, soda stream, inbuilt espresso machine, and large double door fridge/freezer. We even have a small herb garden in possum-proof cages on the property. Laundry Washing machine, dryer, sink, iron, and ironing board. Deck The large, wrap around decking has extensive views of Ralphs Bay, Bruny Island, distant southern mountains, Mt Wellington herself, and the open ocean. There are 2 loungers that can be moved around the deck, to chase the sun. There is a gas powered BBQ that is simple to use, and a large outdoor table and benches. Garden In front of the property, between the house and the water, is a medium sized lawn. Here, you will often find marsupials during dawn and dusk, particularly possums and bandicoots. There is an abundance of rosemary and thyme that you can help yourself to. There is also a ramshackle path down to the gate, which leads directly to the renowned Tangara Trail. You can take the short walk down to the little beach visible from the deck, or walk a 7km round trip to Mortimer Bay. The Bay is a perfect paddling or swimming spot for little ones, as it's only about waist deep at its deepest point. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - In-room accessibility - No lift (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the bay - Near the sea - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bed sheets changed on request - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108890000/108881700/108881615/8c1e3049.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Award-winning beachfront luxury in Cremorne Cremorne - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=108881615&PinnedHotelID=108881615&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33558200/33558101/7fea49b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### No41 Dennes Point -Beach holiday home Dennes Point - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 251 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=33558101&PinnedHotelID=33558101&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108890000/108881600/108881599/ebf41c41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Oasis with Infinity Pool and Stunning River Views Taroona - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=108881599&PinnedHotelID=108881599&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72100000/72095100/72095082/1a684f87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean views, spacious & private, hot hub Lower Snug - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=72095082&PinnedHotelID=72095082&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74710000/74701800/74701724/bd870172.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful Pet Friendly!
