APLITE HOUSE
LUXURY ECO ACCOMMODATION
FREYCINET PENINSULA TASMANIA
Aplite House sits within a two hundred acre private property of secluded forest, on the spectacular east coast of Tasmania at Friendly Beaches, midway between Bicheno and Coles Bay. The property shares three boundaries with the world renowned Freycinet National Park. Aplite provides a private home base, well positioned for exploring this spectacular region of Tasmania.
Aplite house overlooks Moulting Lagoon conservation area, it's a very relaxing and tranquil environment. The property and neighbouring National Park are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna including orchids, Tasmanian devils, wombats, possums, wallabies, quolls and wedge tail eagles, many of which you may spot from the house.
Nearby is pristine Friendly Beaches stretching nearly eight kilometers in length, mostly when stepping foot on the sand, it feels like you have the entire beach to yourself. Within easy reach are Coles Bay, the Wineglass Bay hiking trail, Honeymoon Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse, Bicheno Blowhole, Freycinet National Park, Douglas Apsley National Park and East Coast vineyards, along with the many other activities and locations the region offers.
We built Aplite over five years, Hobart Architect Stephen Geason designed the house. We now enjoy managing every aspect of the accommodation offering and property. While building it was very important to us to use Tasmanian materials extensively. There has been a very deliberate and considered effort, to present Tasmania in every way possible in the house, you will notice the attention to detail throughout. This includes the hand built furniture, most of which has been made from the timber sourced from a single tree. At the house you'll discover a continually growing collection of Tasmanian art, which is constantly rotated. It includes paintings, photography, ceramics, glass work, print making, origami and sculpture.
