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

Just 35 minutes from Hobart's CBD in seaside Lewisham, the pod feels a world away. The architect-designed home is 40m2, snug by design for an intimate escape. Every touch is considered and local. Pop some local bubbles and 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, Frederick Henry Bay and the Southern Ocean beyond are rivalled only by kunanyi / Mount Wellington 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 and designer benchtop, 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.

Turn the pages of a book or pop a Tasmanian record on the player. Fill your senses with local – from relaxed tunes to the sea breeze room mist to the smooth timber couch curves. Oh, and if you fall in love with anything in the pod, take it with you. The Honesty Cupboard is packed with goodies. 

There is no wifi or TV in the pod – that's by design also. This cocoon is about reconnection ... with another, with yourself, with nature.
