Balmoral Cottage A Kingston Beach Escape

This warm and welcoming weatherboard beach cottage is readymade for relaxed beachside living. Set amid private landscaped gardens with a covered alfresco entertaining area, it is peacefully nestled footsteps from the riverside park and playground, 300m to the pristine sands of Kingston Beach and a five-minute wander to the village centre and sizzling seaside eateries. Open-plan living houses an indoor fireplace and a full kitchen, keeping you nice and cosy in the cooler months.
An original weatherboard cottage set amongst established private gardens forms the foundation of this bright and breezy single-level residence that has been tastefully modernised within keeping of its beach house origins.

Graced with timber-panelled walls and soaring ceilings, it centres around a spacious living and dining space warmed by a cosy slow-combustion wood fireplace. Additionally, there's a separate heater to keep you comfortable come winter. The modern open-plan kitchen features a stainless steel gas stove and is complemented with a range of modern appliances. A separate dining area by the kitchen seats six, while the grassy backyard offers a fabulous covered entertaining area at the rear complete with a barbecue and alfresco dining.

Get some shut-eye across three spacious bedrooms. The first is set with a king and the second houses a queen bed, while the third is furnished with a single bed and trundle plus a cot—perfect for families travelling with small children. All bedrooms have panel heating. Freshen up in the elegant bathroom that offers multiple mounted heaters to keep you nice and warm in the cooler months.

Additional features include an enclosed verandah with a built-in sunbed and plenty of off-street parking. We can also supply a high chair for your little one upon request.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

Located near the beach where the Derwent meets the sea, this charming cottage in Kingston Beach is the place to be. Step out the door and its only 70m to grassy parkland by the Browns River where there’s a Rambo-equipped children’s playground and views over the water to Kingston Beach Golf Course and the mountains beyond.

The pristine sands and crystal clear waters of Kingston Beach are just 3 minutes barefoot down the street where there’s a patrolled beach in summer with flags and picturesque views of the sunrise.

The village centre is only a five minute stroll away where seaside fish and chip shops and ice cream parlours tempt the day trippers and fabulous meals with water views can be devoured at the popular Robbie Brown’s or Salty Dog Pub that also offer alfresco dining and live entertainment.

Discover your inner child on the set of swings on the park overlooking the beach or head to the north end of the beach for a trek along the scenic Alum Cliff Tracks. Kingston Beach Handmade Markets is on every second Sunday of each month displaying the wares of local artists, designers, craftspeople, growers and gourmet producers to the backing of live music.

Kingston Town Shopping Centre and Chanel Court is only a 15 minute walk away with all the major shops, supermarket and a great range of eat-in and takeaway restaurants

Kingston Beach Golf Course is only short drive, a picturesque links style course that lays claim to being the southernmost championship golf course in Australia.

Jump in the car and it’s less than 15 minutes along the freeway to Hobart’s CBD where parking’s easy, cheap and a short stroll to everything from historical landmarks, Salamanca Markets and cosmopolitan eateries to picturesque parkland, Constitution Dock and the ferry to MONA. The ferry to Bruny Island leaves from Kettering which is only around 20 minutes down the coast and the wineries at Huon Valley make for a great day trip, just 25 minutes away.

Whether you’re staying in, strolling by beach, savouring the eateries or quickly commuting to the centre of Hobart, there’s something for all the family in this enchanting coastal holiday house.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

Home away from home

We had to travel to Hobart at short notice to attend a funeral. Having a welcoming place to call home for a week was a huge comfort to everyone. Everything was well appointed and well equipped. Thanks for making our stay easy.

12 CUTE AS Resident Bumble Bees and 500 steps to Beach

Loved the light from the windows, during the day you were able to see the garden and be apart of the garden. No Flyscreens seems to be a very Tassy thing, (and a leaky toilet, that I am sure someone will fix), but the floor boards, colours and beds were beautiful. The space is open, welcoming and relaxing; really needed the fans 4/12 days, so A BIG THANK YOU TO MANAGEMENT FOR THAT. Loved the flowers in the garden, fruit trees, Chinese Tulip Tree, and my colours: purple and white in the potted flowers, so lovely that I couldn't help but do a little weeding myself..The sheets and pillows were ample too, and the heating made the house warmer and more cosy than my relatives that live in Kingston Beach. We donated odd things e.g. stainless steel soup spoon, most people these days don't like putting plastic in hot things.But thats because I hoped to come back,
