The Cove Tasmania is the perfect outdoor escape for anyone looking to explore the best of nature. Located on 350 acres of beautiful farmland, The Cove offers guests an opportunity to relax, explore and reconnect with nature. With the ocean right at your doorstep, you can go swimming, snorkeling and take scenic walks.

The Cove Tasmania is an extraordinary place, family owned and established from their love of the land and its history. The retreat is focused around the Alexander Centre, with a courtyard on one side, the kitchen on the the other, this is a true central hub with unobstructed views of the bay. The space is welcoming and the perfect spot to curl up on a sofa with a good read.
