Whale Song Shack

If you’ve ever dreamt of living as a recluse by the sea, you’ll love this nautically themed shack in Falmouth, two hours east of Launceston. Well, it’s called a shack, but the term conveys more the attitude of the place than the actual reality. This accommodation exudes some seriously tranquil – and luxurious – seaside vibes.

Inside are two bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a snug but exquisite dining room and a living space with an open brick fireplace. Throughout the house you’ll find thoughtfully selected decor and furnishings, lavish windows, and French doors that open to the focal point of the whole experience – the wild ocean lapping at the door.

There are countless nooks and crannies inside and out to settle into, but you’ll want to dedicate a fair chunk of time to relaxing in the outdoor bath or by the firepit. You can listen to the ocean from your bed, and you might even spot a pod of dolphins or some whales cruising by. Will they sing? We wouldn’t bet against it.
