Why This Tasmanian Shack Stole My Heart - Dune Shack Tasmania

A warm hello to you from Dune Shack - an original 70's Tasmanian beach shack on the Tasman Peninsula (about an hour and a half from Hobart).
Firstly, I owe you all an apology for the (low quality) audio. My mic died! I’ve been meaning to upgrade my audio (as a few of you have kindly been encouraging me to do), so this is the last bad audio video there will be from me!
Okay so a few weeks back Brett, Tikaani (our pup) and I stayed at this spot called Dune Shack, and it was such an amazing experience. It completely caught us off guard, but in the best way. It’s an old-school 70s Tasmanian shack, super cozy but with all the modern comforts-and it’s right on the beach. As in, 30 seconds from the door to the water. Sunset swims were a nightly thing, and the dog was in heaven.
Hosts Tim and Alice were so kind and left croissants to bake, which felt like the ultimate treat. Mornings with fresh pastries, coffee and the sounds of the ocean -hard to beat.
The whole trip was simple and perfect. Think wood fires, stargazing, and just slowing right down. You’d absolutely love it and I hope some of you can get here one day. I hope you are all well, and I look forward to seeing you in the next one.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I really appreciate you being here.
Ben, Brett and Tikaani. 👬 🐕

What a great place to stay, your videography captured it so well. A bonus being so close to a amazing beach

[@bennybnb]

It's a truly special place Mum. We need to go for a weekend with you and Dad. 😊🐾

[@Gettinglostwithmeg1]

So beautiful! And you’ve showed it in such a way I can see myself there. Your dog is giving you a run for your money as star of the show. ☺️

[@bennybnb]

The Duneshack is beautiful but that private beach is absolutely amazing.

[@keithronson2624]

Ben and Brett. WOW! Yes what a charming place! And what a location. The beach is unbelievable. Just the dream beach. As you say " equipped for living". A real chill vibe that would be so easy to make home for your stay. Nothing over done, a nod to nid century and beach style living. Plus this must be one of your best videos to date! ( And as you know I have been around since the start! 😂) The drone shots , the sound track and the balance of outside and in. All times of the day. And of course your amazing dog steals the show! ❤ . No doubt subscriber numbers will increase! Excellent. Hope You All doing well? Thank You as always. Take care.

This shack (I must be honest: I initially heard “June” Shack at the beginning of the video - is this a good time to again mention that I love you accent…? I know, I know, you don’t have an accent.) gives off the most amazing retro 60s vibes, from the kitchen backsplash to the cork ceiling to the furniture…so many little touches which contribute. The hosts are amazingly generous people, providing a pet-friendly environment and including ready-to-bake croissant for the morning’s coffee - truly exceptional folks. That view at 4:50 just floored me when Brett came upon the beach - completely unexpected (even though you were building up to it in the voiceover) and stunningly beautiful…worth the price of admission alone - and to think it’s a private beach! I think the smile at 8:04 says it all. And that yard: fire pit, hammock, green lawn and so much space! I can see why you’ve fallen in love with this place - I mean, who wouldn’t? Final note: being from Maryland (state motto: “Maryland is for crabs.”), I must call out the crab statuette on the chest of drawers at 3:56 - love it! Thank for this unexpected, yet greatly appreciated Christmas present. Best wishes for a magical Holiday Season to you, Brett, your lovely dog, and all your loved ones. Cheers!

Nice work as always Ben. Finding the gems. Just love the colours of the shack exterior. What was the cute little tiny yellow house at the back? A little Sweeney place as a tag along? haha.
