Premium Beachfront Accommodation on Flinders Island, Tasmania
Welcome to the Wild Side of Calm
Imagine waking to the hush of waves brushing the sand, stepping onto your deck as the salt breeze rolls in, barefoot and coffee in hand. The only plan for the day? Maybe a walk, maybe a wallaby sighting, maybe just doing nothing at all. Welcome to Sawyers Bay Shacks — your front-row seat to nature’s most peaceful performance.
More than just a place to stay, this is your invitation to slow down. Nestled on one of Flinders Island’s most private stretches of coastline, our architect-designed luxury beach houses blend island nostalgia with clean, contemporary comfort. Whether you’re hiking granite peaks, sipping whisky by the fire from nearby Furneaux Distillery, or just letting the view wash over you — this is how you reset, gently.
A Tassie Icon, Reimagined
Modern Comfort Meets the Classic Beach Shack
The Tassie beach shack is part of the island’s DNA — and we’ve given it a new expression. Think polished timber floors, open fireplaces, wraparound decks, and a view that never quits. Every detail has been designed to be stylish but unpretentious, comfortable yet connected to place.
Our shacks are energy-efficient and Wi-Fi ready (hello, Starlink), but never at the cost of charm. You’ll still find hammocks in the shade, tracks to lead you direct to your own beach at your doorstep with no one else in sight.
Slip into the rhythm of the tide. Leave footprints, not schedules.
Architect-Designed and Hand-Finished
Our beach houses are built with heart and purpose — light-filled, beautifully functional, and open to the ever-changing lanscape.

More Than a Stay – It’s a State of Mind
A Private Island Experience Like No Other
What makes Sawyers Bay Shacks different? It’s not just the view (though, wow). It’s the feeling. It’s the silence you didn’t know you needed. The space to breathe. The sense that you’ve arrived somewhere both brand new and strangely familiar.
Take a morning walk through the paddocks and let the wallabies keep pace. Watch birds flicker through tea trees. Stroll to the Furneaux Distillery for a local pour and wander back along the beach as the sky turns red. No driving, no fuss — just easy island magic.
We’re only 12 minutes from Whitemark, but it feels like a world away.
Why Our Guests Keep Coming Back
A few things we hear again and again:
- “We had the beach to ourselves every day — not a soul in sight.”

- “The best-kept secret on Flinders Island — maybe in all of Tassie.”
- “Starlink Wi-Fi was flawless, even during a video call by the fire.”

You can chase adventure or curl up with a book. Either way, Sawyers Bay Shacks is your perfect base to return to.
