A rare opportunity presents to stay in a home described by Grand Designs Australia TV host Peter Madison as a ‘love letter to Tasmania.’

Just 35 minutes from Hobart’s CBD, the pod feels a world away in seaside Lewisham. The architectural home is 40sq metres, snug by design for an intimate escape. Every touch is considered local. Sink deep into your Huon pine tub, made with timber sourced from the depths of Lake Pieman. Settle into the hand-crafted couch, made exclusively for the pod. Here, through floor-to-ceiling windows, nature is your entertainment. Views out to the dunes and the Southern Ocean beyond are rivalled only by Mount Wellington / kunanyi out to the west. Surf beaches are just around the corner.

Come nightfall, set the suspended fireplace aglow. Its bold personality is the work of an artisan blacksmith. Your functional kitchen is appointed with the latest appliances while the bathroom boasts a basin crafted by an acclaimed Tasmanian ceramicist. Everything in the pod whispers of the island’s finest materials and craftspeople.

Fill your senses with local – from relaxed tunes to the smooth timber couch curves. This cocoon is about reconnection … with another, with yourself, with nature.

Find out why the pod took out the #1 spot nationally on Airbnb by coming for your own Lewisham escape.
