Seventeen Steps To The Beach


Winter Escape
Stay 7 Nights pay for 5
Stay 4 Nights pay for 3

Winter in Tasmania is amazing: lush vegetation, snow-covered mountains, and dining options galore. For a 7 or 4 day 'escape' Seventeen Steps to the Beach is the perfect winter getaway. Last winter a similar 'special offer' filled-up quickly. The offer is available from the 1st June – 31st August 2025.

To take us up on this wonderful offer first check days available and click on Request to Book. Make sure you message Arthur and mention 'Winter Special offer' to lock-in your preferred dates and savings.

'Seventeen Steps to the Beach' is a luxuriously-appointed beach house right on the beach. The open-plan layout assures breath taking views throughout, including a massive deck leading straight to the beach and ocean. The deck or the beach are the perfect locations to lie back on a bean-lounge and read a book, sip wine or soak up the sun.

Beautifully and professionally styled and furnished, every effort has been made to keep the spacious 'shack' feel whilst maximizing the amazing beach, coastal and water views. The only thing more spectacular than the view inside is the view outside!

The kitchen, by 'shack' standards, is large, featuring Caesar stone benchtops, state-of-the-art appliances incl. fridge with filtered ice-maker/drink dispenser, European cooktop & oven, dishwasher, POD coffee machine & integrated microwave. There is bar-seating plus separate dining with doors leading to the deck. The living area also has doors opening-up for maximum outdoor access to outdoor dining, BBQ (portable electric) available and adjustable shade.

The 'shack' faces N.N.E, picking up the sun all day, with excellent insulation throughout. Reverse-cycle aircon, portable heating + electric blankets are on all beds if required. It's doubtful you would want to block the view, however a flick of a button & UV protection sheer blinds electrically roll down.

Comfortably sleeping 2-4 adults there are two spacious bedrooms (Queen in main + 2xsingle in Br2, with quality linen & 'Dunlop' pillows). Both bedrooms have full built-in robes and exceptional water-views. The main bedroom has its own entry to the bathroom, incl. laundry (with washing/drying). Both bedrooms have sliding adjustable plantation shutters so you have the choice of either waking-up to a spectacular Boat Harbour Beach sunrise or to sleep in (or a little of both).
We highly recommend waking-up early one morning to have breakfast on the deck with the sun rising over Table Cape and the water.

'Seventeen Steps' is perched as close as possible to the beach, with the sounds and view of one of the world's finest beaches uninterrupted; the steps from the deck leading straight to the fine, white, powdery, squeaky-under foot sand, with rocks and rockpools also nearby.

The dictionary lists PARADISE as: a place of extreme beauty, delight, or happiness.
It is only fitting to enjoy 'paradise' in equally superb accommodation.
You have found the best location and the best place to stay, now the only question you need to ask is: How long should I stay?

Picturesque beach stay

Stunning location right on the beach front, the property is just beautiful. Loved the little touches like kids toys which were a hit with our 3 yo twin girls. The beds were all really comfy, everything was super clean and immaculately presented. We will definitely be back.

Best Beach Accommodation Ever

We had a great 4 night stay at Seventeen Steps! The views and proximity to the Beach is unbeatable. The house is spotless and has everything you need. Our host Arthur was excellent and we even found a bottle of Champagne in the fridge because he knew it was our 25th Wedding Anniversary! Do yourself a favor and stay at 17 Steps if you're in Boat Harbour Beach Matt and Melissa

Review

Overall fantastic accommodation, My family and I just loved it. The bottle of bubbles was a nice touch. The only feedback I would give is due to my family of two small children staying with myself and partner - a larger milk and perhaps a small loaf of local bread or cereal would have been a nice touch to consider the children stating

Worth it for the view

Nice house, amazing location with the world's best view. The house is a little dated with a fairly ordinary bathroom BUT the position is unbeatable. Situated right on the beach, this house has all you need and is just 17 steps down to the beautiful beach. Dolphins, perfect swimming, decent surfing waves when it picked up and the view sunrise to sunset, assisted by generous coffee and tea supplies made this a favourite stay.
