Harpers provides a unique place to rest, with the ambience of waves rolling onto 70m of direct beach access. The property consists of a 2 bedroom Mexican inspired renovated beachshack, a separate main residence (three guest queen bedrooms with en-suites) & stand alone beach studio.

They look like they have been laid by man. A couple of minutes walk takes you to a view high above the pavement. The path leads on a hundred metres further to steps leading down to the shore.The Dog Line On the way to Port Arthur Historic Site on the Tasman Peninsula is Eaglehawk Neck, a narrow 30 metre-wide isthmus that join the peninsula to the rest of Tasmania.This isthmus was once guarded by a line of ferocious dogs to prevent convicts escaping across the Neck from the nearby penal colony. The slightest disturbance would set the dogs barking and alert the soldiers. (There were dogs on platforms in the water as well).The convict bushranger Martin Cash was one of the few to escape the dog line – twice, earning him considerable prestige amongst his peers.The area also included a guardhouse, a store, a jetty (the remains of which can still be seen) and military barracks for the soldiers living here. http://www.discovertasmania.com.au/home/local-tips/dog-lineFishing Charters There are fishing charters operating out of Pirates Bay offering fishing and other activities including:* Game fishing* Sport Fishing* Reef Fishing* Deep Sea Fishing* Scenic Coastal Tours* Marine Life viewing including Bird watching, seal colonies and haul outs, dolphins, and whale watching in seasonhttp://personalisedseacharters.com.au/http://www.paulettacharters.com/http://www.doongarafishingcharters.com.au/Eaglehawk Dive Centre This PADI 5 Star Dive Centre is situated at Eaglehawk neck.They offer you a great diversity of world-class scuba diving sites in this area, including the famous Cathedral Cave, the historic wreck SS “Nord”, or the magical sponge garden at Sisters’ rocks.

Skirting the sea cliffs at Point Puer, the course has breathtaking views of the Great Southern Ocean and dramatic Tasman Peninsula coastline. Features include watered greens and tees, bunkers and a central dam in play on three holes. Tasman's dramatic signature hole is the par three 8th - which requires you to tee off on a cliff top and drive the ball over a 200-metre drop to the ocean to land on the opposite cliff top green, 100 metres away.Remarkable Cave The Remarkable Cave Site provides visitors with short walking opportunities to Remarkable Cave and Maingon Lookout and is the main access to Mount Brown and Crescent Bay. Rock climbers also access the cliffs around West Head and Dauntless Point from this site.McHenry Distillery McHenry Distillery is Australia’s southern-most whisky distillery and with its family heritage makes it the southernmost family run distillery in the world.

The property also has its own abundant pure spring water which becomes the heart of the developing spirit.Osborne Helitours Ready for big picture scenery?
