Carlton River Escape was completed in 2023 and built as a peaceful hide away retreat on the back 50 acres of our property. It is nestled right beside our Swift Parrot Conservation Forest area which also shares it space with our local wallabies, wombats, echidnas, pademelons, possums, and eagles. Amid the fresh Tassie air, and the incredible forest views, you will feel completely relaxed listening to the sounds of the wildlife while enjoying the luxury of a secluded brand new home.
Darren and I built our dream home and guest house on our 100-acre property last year. We both work full time in the city, and our youngest child travels with us every day to school. We try to spend our weekends at home enjoying our gorgeous view, and continuing to build our property grounds. We plan to introduce some farm animals over the next 12 months, which will hope will add to the experience of our guesthouse aswell.
Carlton River is a fantastic location to simply relax and rejuvenate. It's also the gateway to many amazing locations. Just 5 minutes to several beaches, with options for the quiet lagoon at Dodges Ferry, the river mouth at Carlton River, or two surf beaches at Carlton Beach and Park Beach for the adventurers. Primrose Sands beach is 6 minutes away, Dunalley is 12 minutes, and the historic beautiful Port Aurthur is a must if you have the time just 45 minutes drive. Dodges Ferry is our local suburb less than 10 minutes drive away. We recommend visiting Beach Bums for fresh coffee and breakfast and Hill Street Grocer for fresh produce and groceries. There is also a fantastic butcher, and bakery in the area. Whether your looking to adventure out on a distillery tour, winery tastings, local farmers markets, or bush walking trails we can certainly help suggest some of our favorites to help you plan an unforgettable stay.
