Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Relax in a peaceful bush setting and connect with nature. This small off grid studio is situated on a 100 acre property located on the Freycinet Peninsula. The property is positioned close to Friendly Beaches, Moulting Lagoon and Freycinet National Park. The space is clean, cosy and comfortable with double bed, kitchenette and bathroom. Perfect for one or a couple. Unwind from a days adventure with the gentle sounds of local bird life and ocean swell. Watch wedge tail and sea eagles soar overhead and as the sun begins to set welcome the local wombats, wallabies, bandicoots and pademelons. The occasional Tassie devil can be heard late at night if you’re lucky. A 15 minutes drive to the entrance of Freycinet National Park and the Townships of Coles Bay and Bicheno this property is a unique base with privacy and peace to rest and rejuvenate after a day exploring the Freycinet Region.Friendlies Rest is a small off grid studio located on the Freycinet Peninsula.

Friendlies Rest
We had a lovely stay at Friendlies Rest. The cabin is very well equipped and beautifully finished. A great location for Freycinet National Park, we wished we could’ve stayed for longer. Thank you Shannon!
