This seaside complex in the town of Louisville is a great jumping-off point for exploring the wildlife-packed Maria Island National Park; the drop-off point for the daily ferry is just a short distance away. There are motel-type rooms here with kitchenettes, and also detached cabins, many with direct water views. This resort has a number of leisure facilities, including a restaurant with water views, swimming pools, a pickleball and basketball court, and games' room for kids.
These water-facing cabins have dramatic views over Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula through full-length windows in living and bedroom areas. There's also a three-bedroom house that sleeps eight and has a large open-plan lounge and dining area with vaulted ceilings.
Groovy and a little bit glamorous, this three-bedroom, split-level holiday home is the ultimate in laid-back seaside retreats. There's a fully equipped kitchen and some of the state's prettiest beaches are mere footsteps way (and there's a secret cliff-top walk leading out from the backyard, which is perfect for sunrise strolls). The owners leave a Polaroid camera for guests' use to encourage people to snap pics of their good-time getaway.
