At Avalon, all that comes between you and an astounding view of Great Oyster Bay are three walls of floor-to-ceiling glass – and that's just the lounge room. Every aspect of this modernist cascade of glass and steel has been designed by architect Craig Rosevear to maximise the views, right down to the airy spaciousness of the three guest bedrooms.
The best news is that all this can be enjoyed by either a couple or up to six guests in utter privacy – and nothing has been left to chance. As well as the stunning lounge and queen-size bedrooms (one with a Huon pine bath) there are two decks where you can breathe in the panorama, a brilliant kitchen (or outdoor barbecue), an open fire, Bose surround sound, an internet connection, and an espresso machine. Raid the sports locker for boogie boards, wetsuits or walking gear or, if you're not up for exercise, sit back and grab a book, pop on a CD and watch the waves roll in.
Avalon's walls are ornamented with artwork that completes the modern furnishings, a finishing touch to the coastal retreat you've always dreamed of. Fortunately, Avalon really is waiting for you. Location: 130km or 1.5 hours northeast of Hobart, 10 minutes south of Swansea. HEMA RA 59 C13.
Facilities: One house: three ensuite bedrooms, open-plan lounge (open fire, TV, DVD, CD), dining and gourmet kitchen (gourmet mini bar provisions); decks. Self-catering.
