About this listing
What We Love
Perched above the iconic Great Eastern Drive on a convict heritage site, Rocky Ridge is a striking modern lodge capturing sweeping views over Great Oyster Bay, the Freycinet Peninsula and Schouten and Maria Islands. Awaken to the ever-changing light while watching a glorious sunrise over the bay or at dusk watch the sunset from the Spotted Gum timber deck. enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sea eagles hover above the grass in the breeze!
The house itself is an architectural showpiece of generous proportions - both beautifully designed and built. Discover the beauty of Tasmania while using the lodge as your base, or simply stay and enjoy all that this magnificent location has to offer.
The living space comprises three bedrooms over two levels, two king bedrooms with ensuites and a further guest bedroom with a queen with access to another bathroom making it a welcome space for families and groups. Interiors showcase bespoke fittings and local artwork, Tasmanian timber floors and extensive glass that reveals stunning water, mountain and valley views at every chance. An open plan dining and lounge with cathedral ceilings is exactly where you’ll want to be, with the sleek black kitchen offering a dreamy space to create a comforting meal.
