Roaring Beach Retreat - pet friendly, beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Roaring Beach. Enjoyed the fired, beach views and proximity and being able to take our furry friends. Lovely relaxed weekend. Clean and well organised and liked the little updates since last time - new couch great!"

Lune Mill River House

8/10 Good

":-) We really enjoyed our stay at Lune River. The location is incredible with amazing views on the river and very quiet nights and mornings watching the stars and birds from the decking. The house is very close to all local attractions such as Hastings caves and baths, Mystery creek caves, Cockle creek etc which was for us the main reason for booking. We also certainly enjoyed taking a bath by the river. :-( Listing very accurate with everything needed present, although some of it dusty/rusty as a lot of the house is in quite old state. Would benefit from a proper renovation, but has an old charm to it. Do not count on cooking extensively, stove is very slow. We arrived in a very cold house (10*C), with no firewood and impossibility to turn on all heaters as the same time due to electricity issues (network fine for most appliances, just not light cooking heaters on). Lesley kindly assisted to get us urgently more firewood and we managed to get th place seemingly hot for the first night. We would have organised our day differently if we had known the place was so cold."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ida Bay?

The best area to stay in Ida Bay is directly within the Ida Bay Railway precinct, as it offers the most convenient access to the area's primary attraction.

This precinct is centered around the historic Ida Bay Railway station, where the heritage train departs. Staying here means you're just steps away from the railway, the café, and the starting point for your exploration of the area. It's a compact and focused area, great for visitors looking to make the most of their railway experience.

For couples and solo travelers looking for a unique, experience-driven stay, lodging within or very close to the Ida Bay Railway precinct is ideal. You'll appreciate the ease of access to the railway, allowing for a relaxed start to your day exploring the southern Tasmanian wilderness and its coastal beauty.

When is the best time to go to Ida Bay?

The best time to visit Ida Bay is during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, which is summer in Tasmania, or during the shoulder seasons of March to May (autumn) and September to November (spring).

This period is ideal for enjoying outdoor activities like exploring the Ida Bay Railway, hiking in the nearby Southwest National Park, or visiting the Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs.
