Bambara - Luxury Tasmanian Escape
Welcome to Bambara, a stunning new home nestled on Georges Bay, Akaroa, just moments away from the breathtaking Bay of Fires in Tasmania. Taking its name from the Aboriginal word meaning “Forest Country,” Bambara embodies a deep connection to community, culture, and respect for nature.
Offering breathtaking views across the bay to the nature reserve, the St Helens township, and the river’s mouth, it’s the perfect place to unwind and take in Tasmania' s natural beauty.
Thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with modern elegance, Bambara is a haven for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking tranquility.
The home features two beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a queen bed, walk-through wardrobe, and an ensuite with heated towel rails, complemented by premium French linens and a sumptuous Bemboka cotton throw. The second bedroom offers king-single beds, a trundle option, and a private ensuite.
The cozy living area, complete with a gas fireplace and high-end furnishings, provides the perfect place to relax. A fully equipped kitchen and Nespresso coffee machine make mornings delightful, while the outdoor deck, with its Weber BBQ, is ideal for enjoying evening meals against the stunning backdrop of Georges Bay.
Just two hours from Launceston and a short drive from St Helens, Bambara offers both seclusion and convenience. Explore the iconic Bay of Fires, Peron Dunes, and the trails of Akaroa, or venture further to Freycinet National Park and the renowned Wineglass Bay. The area is also rich with vineyards, fresh seafood, and opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and cycling and golf.
With thoughtful amenities like a washing machine, luxury bathroom products, and reverse-cycle air conditioning, Bambara is a true Tasmanian sanctuary where comfort meets natural beauty. Experience a peaceful escape and immerse yourself in the magic of Tasmania’s east coast.
