The Cove Tasmania

The Cove Tasmania is an adults-only accommodation retreat at 256c Waverley Rd, Devonport, where historic farmland meets the Bass Strait. The property combines private pavilions, residences and cabins with an architectural approach that keeps the coastal setting central. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, timber details, private balconies and ocean-facing positions feature across selected accommodation types, while the overall atmosphere is designed around quiet, space and connection with the surrounding landscape.

Accommodation ranges from garden-view A-frame cabins and ocean-edge eco cabins to Cliffside Ocean Suites, Horizon Executive Suites, Ocean Soak Suites and the larger Signature Residence. Some stays include private cedar hot tubs, including outdoor soak tubs positioned to face the water. The cabins provide a more pared-back way to experience the estate, with options for skylight views, coastal outlooks and direct access to the grounds.

The Bass Strait shapes the experience throughout the property. Private coastal viewing platforms provide a place to watch the shoreline, while the resident little penguins return from the ocean to the coast around nightfall. The estate’s rural setting and north-facing outlook also suit slow mornings, time outdoors and stays focused on rest rather than a busy itinerary.

Dining is handled through two distinct venues. Basalt is an oceanfront restaurant built around seasonal regional produce and coastal foraging, with a menu that reflects the surrounding landscape. The Sunset Lounge Bar provides a setting for pre-dinner cocktails as the light changes over the water. Atrium Cafe is a brighter, more casual space for specialty coffee, artisanal sourdough, breakfast staples and Tasmanian grazing platters. The Alexander Pavilion adds a dedicated kitchen and dining space with a 16-seat timber table and ocean views, intended for guests who enjoy preparing and sharing food.

The Cove Tasmania suits adult couples and travellers seeking a private coastal base near Devonport, with accommodation styles ranging from compact cabins to larger residences. It also appeals to visitors interested in regional dining, contemporary architecture, ocean scenery and the natural rhythm of Tasmania’s north-west coast.
