Allports Beach House on Flinders Island combines the qualities of a classic Australian beach house with a spacious Mediterranean villa. The north-facing property is a three-minute walk along a native bush track to the sparkling turquoise water of Allports and Emita Beaches, and a short drive to Boat Harbour, Lillies Beach and Sawyers Bay. The sweeping, uninterrupted views across Bass Strait are simply out-of-this-world and make this holiday house a one-of-a-kind. The stylishly designed private property is surrounded by bushland and is a mere 10 minutes to the Flinders Island airport and 15 minutes from the small, but vibrant, town of Whitemark. The spacious, open plan living area has timber floors, high ceilings and is flooded with natural light. Sliding doors lead onto a wooden wrap-around deck, offering expansive views across Bass Strait to Castle Rock and Marshall Bay.
