The Sounds is a spacious and serene property overlooking King George Sound in Murdunna, Tasmania. It is a private, self contained space with a modern lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The large verandah has a magical view across the water to Kunanyi Mt Wellington. Relax and enjoy with my compliments a continental breakfast, free wifi and multiple streaming services. Also, each guest receives a welcome gift upon arrival.
I am excited to share our unique location with visitors to our beautiful state.
Short drive to Port Arthur Historic Site. Close to Bangor Winery and Restaurant. 3kms to the iconic Murdunna Roadhouse. Short walk to Duck Creek and Graham's jetty. Explore the numerous local scenic attractions, such as Tasman Arch and Devil's Corner.
