About this property

Quarry Hill Lookout ..... scenic views, luxurious amenities, relaxing atmosphere

There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms all with built in wardrobes. There are 2 living areas and a sunroom to relax in. The wrap around deck allows you to enjoy all day sunlight in your favourite spot! The sofa lounge in the library area is great for those large groups and the extensive outside garden area to be enjoyed by all. NBN wifi included along with Netflix for those relaxing afternoons. Indulge in this luxurious retreat at Quarry Hill Lookout Accommodation, where scenic views, top-notch amenities, and a serene atmosphere await you. Experience the perfect blend of comfort and relaxation at this stunning getaway - away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! Your ultimate getaway destination.

Perched on a hill, Quarry Hill Lookout, overlooks the stunning, pristine waters of Port Esperance Bay and is located a short stroll from the beach, restaurants and town center.
Just over 1 hour from Hobart or 1.5 hours from the airport, Quarry Hill Lookout is an ideal get-away for couples, families or groups of friends.

Take a tour through the house and read some reviews!

It's also the perfect location for a small event as it sleeps up to 9 people comfortably and provides a great base from which to explore the attractions of the Far South, including:

* Hastings Caves State Reserve has something for everyone! Tour the stunning dolomite caves and see the full formation of stalactites, stalagmites and the unusual helictites, swim in the magical thermal springs, wander the short nature walks and picnic by the warmth of an open log fire - this is an inspiring day out!

* Enjoy short or longer walks through alpine and snow gum woodland as you follow the path of the Arve River in Hartz Mountains. This takes the walker through a landscape carved by glaciers. You may even be lucky enough to see some snow!

* Visit Willie Smith’s Apple Shed! You'll sample their delicious ciders and you can't go past their amazing toastie's and of course it's home to the best apple pie in the Huon!

* Learn the traditional craft of wooden boat building using rare Tasmanian boat building timbers @The Wooden Boat Centre

* Tahune Adventures is the home of the airwalk, eagle glider and swinging bridges! This day can be as relaxing or as adventurous as you would like it to be!

* Escape and explore and see a platypus in the wild along the river banks at Geeveston. Start at the Geeveston visitor centre and take the nice stroll. Take in the fresh air.

* If you like a bit of adrenaline then visit the Huon Jet Boat. Rug up and experience Tasmania's wild rivers and stunning scenery.

* We have a bucket list must do here! Head to Cockle Creek and take the South Cape walk to the most southern point in Australia! 4 hour return walk.

* Southern Aurora - you don't need to travel...... just step out onto the front deck, grab your iphone and snap away!

Weekend away with friends
A wonderful place to stay and everything you could think of was provided. Loved the Milo, chocolate and wine! The only improvement was the description in relation the 4th bedroom in what was advertised as the library. We did not realise it was not in its own room, but part of the lounge upstairs.

Incredible house, saw this listing online and loved it. When we arrived it did not disappoint. The views from every room are amazing. Nicolas attention to detail and her thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The hasting caves just down the road are also a must, one of the best we have seen.

A Very Impressive Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quarry Point Lookout and would have loved to stay longer. It is quite possibly the best organised holiday house we have ever stayed in. Nicola has thought of everything to make one's stay comfortable and uncomplicated. The house is beautiful and the view ever-changing depending on the time of day and the weather. Just a five minute walk to shops, cafes and club.

Amazing stay in Dover
This was a beautifully appointed property with stunning views. Waking up to the sunrise from bed was an amazing start to the day. Nicola has thought of everything with so many inclusions within the property. We were two families staying, and there was plenty of room with everyone able to relax in their own space. Highly recommend this stunning house.

About the host

Hosted by Nicola Francis

Host profile image
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am a primary school teacher with a love for knowledge and sharing. My family own the local organic apple and cherry orchard in Dover, so my daughter and I enjoy visiting the area as much as we can.

Just to let you know, I prefer to give my guests peace and privacy, however if you need any help please contact me on my mobile. If I am not available I can have someone else close by come and help you.

I provide an informative guest book at the property which outlines information about some of my favourite places to dine locally and places to visit. There are also books on local Tasmanian walks, fauna and flora.

Have a great time planning your next holiday or stay and if I can help in any way please just ask!

Why they chose this property

Quarry Hill Lookout is the perfect property as I love the view of the water and the convenience of the selection of dining options all within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

1. Watching the endless RAINBOWS on a cold winters day with the fire on.
2. Picking fresh FRUIT and VEGETABLES from the backyard garden.
3. Who can resist the double shower head in the main ensuite bathroom - YES :)
4. The coffee machine is GREAT!
5. Did I mention the unique architectural design of Quarry Hill Lookout. There are breathtaking views from every room! Make sure you check out the downstairs bathroom window.
6. The library is pretty good too ;)
