Swansong - Experience Environmental Living | Apartment in Break O'Day
1 Bedroom Apartment in St Helens, Break O'Day
Swansong is the perfect base for a nature escape in stunning Northeast Tasmania. This unique dwelling is entirely off-grid and designed to bring the outside in. It 'floats' above the grasses and among the eucalypts with spectacular views across Georges Bay to the Tasman Sea.
Minutes from the Bay of Fires and St Helens township, there is an abundance of adventure, local produce, and natural beauty close at hand.
The dwelling, with a modest 60m2 footprint, is tucked into nine acres of private bushland. Inspired by the idea of a ranger base crossed with a bush hideaway, every element is designed with the environment in mind – coaxing you outdoors.
Extensive double glazing brings nature’s finer details close-in to the living spaces while also drawing to the wider view. You may glimpse pademelons scuttling into the bush and superb fairy wrens darting around the native grasses in the courtyard. Sea eagles, black cockatoos, and pelicans fly above the treetops, while black swans gather on the bay below.
Swansong’s tough corrugated exterior contrasts against honey-toned timbers and cork floors inside, creating an inviting atmosphere. The natural materials and understated furnishings have been selected to sit in harmony with simple living in the Tasmanian bush.
The cabin ‘s two pavilions are connected by timber decking. A Japanese-style engawa (edge/veranda), constructed of web-forge steel extends around each; its many uses include a place to sit or a walkway above the surrounding native grasses and shrubs.
The first pavilion combines kitchen, dining and living. Settle on the sofa and watch the clouds roll over the bay or curl up on the window seat as the sunset lights up the granite boulders on the opposite shoreline.
The kitchen is equipped to create memorable meals. Our pantry is stocked with cooking oils, vinegars, herbs, spices, dry-goods and specialty tea and coffee.
Across the deck in the bedroom pavilion a queen-size bed is plumped up with 100% pure linen sheets and bed covers. Cast a sleepy eye to the sunrise over Georges Bay without lifting your head from the pillow or sit out on the deck to bask with a morning brew.
The shower ensuite is green and serene with a window through to the bush. Soft cotton towels and Aesop hand wash and moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner and body wash are supplied.
