This historic fisherman’s cabin in Lettes Bay Shack Village sits meters from Macquarie Harbour, framed by climbing roses and wisteria. Here, time moves to the rhythm of tides while dolphin pods surface just beyond windows designed for watching the world unfold at its own perfect pace.

Nestled on Tasmania’s remote west coast, Captain’s Rest is a storied waterfront cottage where the essence of the heart of Tasmania whispers through weathered wood and the gentle rhythm of water lapping at the jetty. Through enormous antique windows restored with intention, morning light dances on still waters while little birds provide the only soundtrack needed.

Named Australia’s Most Special Stay by Escape Magazine and featured in British Vogue, Condé Nast Traveler, Living Etc UK, and Milk Decoration France, Captain’s Rest offers more than accommodation—it provides a true journey.

Created by an internationally renowned designer, this retreat serves those who seek depth over grandeur, solitude over spectacle. Whether guests come to write, to rest, or simply to breathe, they leave gently transformed.

There are stays that fill time and stays that change time—Captain’s Rest belongs firmly in the second category.
