On the coastline of Coles Bay and neighbouring Freycinet National Park in Tasmania/Lutruwita, Edge of the Bay is a place to capture peace. It was imagined by a family who had a vision in the 1970’s for a retreat where people could stay right on the water’s edge, with nothing between them and the dramatic view of the Hazards mountains.
Today, Edge of the Bay offers travellers the chance to escape the present and escape into the wild across its protected acreage. Self-contained Vintage Chalets sit among sheoaks and contemporary Ocean View Studios open onto Great Oyster Bay’s shores. Dine at The Edge Restaurant with a menu of locally-sourced delights.
