Scenic Sandy Bay Lookout in the Hills

Peacefully nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac and high up in prestigious Sandy Bay, this spacious home captures spectacular 180-degree views of the city, bridge, river and eastern shore from almost every room. You’ll feel a world away, but is a mere five-minute drive from town and 15 minutes to the CBD. Set across two levels—off-street parking, two bathrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen add to your group's convenience.
Tucked away overlooking the river and city, this home is set across two levels with the main living space capitalising on the sprawling vistas upstairs. Cosy up in the open-plan living area with a TV catering to your evening entertainment, while a separate dining area invites you to relish meals at home while soaking up uninterrupted views of the Derwent. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials, including a dishwasher for easy cleanup. Step outside onto the private balcony and enjoy the sunrise over the river while sipping your morning coffee.

The views continue on upstairs in the queen-sized primary bedroom, which offers an attached ensuite. You’ll also find a second queen bedroom on this level, along with another bathroom—offering both a shower and bath. Downstairs, a third bedroom houses two single beds, while a half bath adds to your group’s convenience. If you require a porta cot this is available on request at the time of booking.

Make use of in-unit laundry and a two-car garage throughout the duration of your stay.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

The undisputed highlight of this house is without a doubt the magnificent views from basically every room. The house otherwise had all we needed, was very clean and in a great quiet location just a short drive from a fab cafe and all the conveniences of Sandy Bay retail precinct. But the views absolutely stole the show!

Comfortable house, high on slopes, but easy access to Sandy Bay and downtown. Dishwasher out of order. Refrigerator a bit small but just enough. Wifi would have been helpful but didn’t detract as data isn’t expensive. We would recommend and stay again.

Sandy Bay Stay
Property was adequate views great and rooms suited us. But details in property not great from a broken dishwasher to loose door knobs/ kitchen cabinetry doors to missing freezer door on fridge so ice cream didn't stay frozen. And they don't advertise with wifi so we mistakenly assumed there'd be wifi - but no there isn't. We're with Telstra and had 1 bar so hotspotting it not great. So property has nice views but attention to detail is lacking. Cultery/crockery/etc tired. Wine glasses but no sparkling glasses etc Ensuite fan/light filthy and dropped dirt on the ground.

great potentiality but lack of manteinance
Bella casa in ottima posizione a Sandy Bay, vista eccezionale sul Derwent River fino alla città. Ideale per 2 persone: piccolo soggiorno, grande camera principale con bella vista, armadio e ensuite bathroom.La seconda camera è piccola e si affaccia sul muro didietro.La terza camera al piano di sotto non è vivibile in inverno, troppo umida e fredda, con solo una stufetta che abbiamo usato per scaldare il soggiorno dove non c'è riscaldamento. Nessun problema per noi, abituati a non tenere caldo in casa. Il terzo bagno di sotto è scomodo, lontano dalla camera e comunicante con il garage. Noi in due, con figlia di 15anni, siamo stati bene, ci sappiamo adattare. Purtroppo però la manutenzione è molto carente: tende rotte in camera, luci non funzionanti in tutta la casa, nella cameretta interruttore del riscaldamento staccato dalla parete con fili pericolosamente ciondolanti, lavastoviglie con manopola di accensione rotta da tempo, parte solo dopo molti tentativi e non fa il ciclo completo di lavaggio. Pulizia scarsa, terrazza piena di ragnatele, finestre e vetri non puliti da tempo. La luce a stelo del soggiorno è rotta da tempo.La stanza è poco illuminata, abbiamo dovuto portare la lampada che è nella camera di sotto. Il proprietario (??) ci ha chiesto subito il primo giorno se erano necessarie manutenzioni alla casa. Abbiamo riferito tutto nel dettaglio, senza avere nessuna risposta, come se si fosse offeso! Incredibile! Peccato con poco sforzo sarebbe una soluzione perfetta.

Visiting family but they do not have enough room for 4 of us. We only showered and slept at the Stayz house. Views good but furniture was either outdoor looking stuff indoor or looked very old and tired. Good for what we did, but doubt if I would want to spend time there.

Family Trip to Tassie
The house itself was very nice however felt a little run down. There was only a bare minimum of furniture of which some items required maintenance. To me it lacked a little homeliness and could do with some pictures on the wall, a splash of color or a bit of updating. I was left with a slight bitter taste when i received an email suggesting we had damaged parts of the property which i can assure were broken on arrival. Other than that the house sufficed our needs.

Stunning views, comfortable home.
We really enjoyed our stay. The views are stunning, including from the bedroom. The sun pours into the bedroom and living areas of a morning. Note: the hill is too steep to walk to the coast, but an Uber to Salamanca cost $13 and took less than ten minutes. Easy!
