At the bottom of the block is a wonderful bush/forest area of gum trees and pine trees. A fantastic place to collect wood and pine cones or for children to explore and build cubby houses !The trees provide complete privacy and although the view through the trees is lovely we dont want to cut them down as we prefer the privacy !Premaydena is a small hamlet in the middle of the Tasman Peninsular. It is only 10 minutes from Port Arthur, 10 minutes from Eaglehawk Neck and 10 minutes from the beautiful swimming beach called White Beach which is now a large shack area, about 5 minutes from Nubeena. No matter where you are on the Tasman Peninsular you need to be central to make sure you are i the right place to choose the right beach ! Surf Beaches, swimming beaches and safe bays. Historic sites are everywhere to explore. The cottage is 3 minutes walk to a beautiful bay. It is child safe and lovely for swimming when the tide is in as well as for fishing. You will love it ! BUt you must take your rubbish with you and clean up before you go.
We have a place in Hobart too...3 Beach Rd ...find it on this web site ..on the Lindisfarne Bay and a really nice spot.

Our Cottage and the Route
Aunty Mary’s Cottage overlooks the tranquil waters of Impression Bay, Premaydena. Our Bay is the summer home of dozens of black swans. The only sound at night is the gentle lapping of the water and the wind in the pine trees. We offer families and couples the perfect base from which to discover the delights of the Tasman Peninsula.
