Great location. Beautiful pet friendly home with superb views of the beach from the balcony! Lovely kitchen to cook meals with a large dining table & a beautifully large table on the balcony to sit & enjoy your meal watching the waves crashing on the beach.A short walk across the road to a beautiful beach.The Host communicates well & property easily accessed. FABULOUS!!
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.
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.
peace & beauty on a gorgeous beach. House is very comfortable, well equiped, great for a dog, & with views to the ocean across the road.

Host was excellent and very accomodating, house was beautiful and very clean. Location is absolutely fabulous, and the views are spectacular; would highly recommend!
Beach across the road, pet friendly, well appointed
Well described property with generous extras and extremely comfortable too. Easy access to all the local attractions but fully self contained with balconies on both sides to enjoy the seascape and farmland.
Fully equipped beach house with everything you need and more! Comfortable, right on the beach, super comfy beds. Fully enclosed so your fur babies are safe!
We wanted a relaxing weekend with the family and our dog and that's exactly what we got! Arriving to an established wood fire going on a winters day was just perfect. Everything was provided, we really couldn't ask for anything more. Great selection of games for the family to enjoy. The house felt comfortable and cosy and ve left feeling rejuvenated! :)
Dog friendly, and great location. However you may need to be aware that the access to main living space is up 14 wooden stairs. We had to teach our to go up and down, slowly. I would imagine some older people having difficulty with this too.
Big Roaring Beach is a great location so the property has a head-start. That the accommodation is pretty much faultless really helps it stand out. Great design, comfortable furniture and bedding, and all the extras one could want to enjoy the stay. The wood-burner is particularly impressive.

About the host
Hosted by Honni Chilcott
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.
