Douglas River is on the east coast of Tasmania; around a 10-minute drive north of Bicheno. It is also close for day trips to Bay of Fires or Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay.
Each cottage at Sandpiper Ocean Cottages is private, thanks to being spread out over 4-acres of coastal gardens. It is a short walk through the dunes to Denison Beach. The cottages are all self-equipped; kitchens, laundry, deck, BBQ. Aside from the 4 x 2-bedroom cottages there is also a 1-bedroom cottage or even a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house on its own private 40-acre grounds.
Well-behaved dogs are permitted; there is a $10 fee per dog, per cottage. Each deck is gated. They are permitted inside – not on beds and not to roam the grounds.
