Rustic, grand and incredibly private, Thalia Haven’s four stone-built bedrooms surround courtyards dotted with olive trees on the edge of Tasmania’s east coast, about an hour’s drive from Hobart. You’ll have five kilometres of pristine coastline, including a white-sand beach, all to yourself and a show-stopping tub set on the deck is positioned to take in the crashing waves of Great Oyster Bay. The property, on a 52-hectare peninsula, is self-sufficient: water, electricity and warmth are all derived from renewable sources.
