About this property
Ready for a bush hideaway? Hideaway@Acton is a rustic and homely wooden cabin located at the rear of our 2.5 acre property in Acton Park. A highlight of the cabin is the 'window wall' giving you uninterrupted views from the seating areas of the bushland, eucalyptus trees and the occasional wallaby!
Two antique chairs facing the ''window wall" make a wonderful spot to sit and view the outdoors with a cuppa or glass of wine in hand, perfect if the Tasmanian weather is at its unpredictable best. Feel like a book or magazine to read or getting comfy on the lounge with a movie? Or some music to chill out with or sing along too? There are plenty of magazines, books, CD's, vinyl records and DVD's for your use.
Hideaway@Acton has a queen size bed in a room separate to the open plan living space, the bathroom and toilet is accessed through the bedroom.
The kitchenette is fully equipped for self-catering with a microwave, plug in two burner cooktop, air fryer, kettle, toaster, fridge and toasted sandwich maker for your use. We have chickens blessing us with fresh eggs and grow a variety of fruit and vegetables which we share with guests (when in season). Breakfast provisions are included for your first two mornings.
The cabin has a small portable washing machine that can be set up in the bathroom for washing for small loads of washing. We suggest using a coin operated laundrette (Loads of Suds, in nearby Rokeby) for larger loads, please see the cabin's Guest Directory for further details.
We have two dogs, Toby and Winnie, who enjoy roaming around the property, however they will not be able to enter the area near the front of the cabin as a boundary wire/collar system stops their entry. Our dogs are very much loved by our family but we understand not everybody likes dogs and Winnie can sometimes bark at unfamiliar people (she is a rescue dog that was treated badly as a young pup).
As we are in a bushland setting we are blessed with many furry and feathered visitors, wallabies, rabbits, galahs, parrots, cockatoos, possums, kookaburras and the occasional wombat and echidna! Bugs and insects are a natural part of bush life also. A birdbath is placed near the cabin deck to encourage the birds to drink and bathe in. We ask that you not feed the birds or animals so they continue to forage for food in their environment. The cabin has a can of insect spray to deal with any small uninvited visitors and we have the cabin professionally sprayed every 3 months. We want you to have a great experience on your well earned break and enjoy the variety of songs from the birdlife and the goings on of our furry friends!
