George River Park (Prestige House, 100 Acres, Animals, Bay\/Mountain\/Town Views)
About this farm stay rental
Prestige, near new 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath Holiday House, fully-equipped kitchen and open plan dining & living room. Situated on a hill with stunning, expansive views over George's Bay, the town of St Helen's & surrounding mountains. House located on 100 acres of pristine farm and bush land with a menagerie of pet animals including emus, kangaroos, white deer and peacocks. Bounded by 2.6 km of the pristine George's River, with private sandy beaches and water holes for swimming. By day, relax on our completely private sandy beaches and refresh with a cool dip. You may spot one of our local platypus. Hand feed our resident kangaroos, emu, white deer and other feathered friends. After dark, grab a torch and explore the property when possums, wallabies and owls are most active. The George River offers some of the best trout, blackfish and bream fishing in Tasmania. Why not try your hand at fishing on our own private and secluded part of the river. We are the perfect launching pad for exploring some of Tasmania’s beautiful East Coast heritage areas such as The Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula, the East Coast wineries, extensive hiking trails, waterfalls and the world-famous mountain biking tracks around St Helen’s and Derby. George’s Bay is known as the deep-sea fishing capital of Tasmania. Try an ocean charter or visit one of the local George’s Bay oyster farms or seafood restaurants. Your hosts, Hugh and Celin, are keen travelers themselves and are passionate about helping guests make the most of their visit to this beautiful part of the world. Whether it is giving recommendations on what to see and do or sharing best kept local secrets, your hosts take a personal interest in every guest. Celin speaks Chinese, Japanese, English and a number of European languages, so is well equipped to assist our Chinese, Japanese and European friends! George River Park is situated in an area of stunning natural beauty. Nestled between the tranquility and charm of George’s Bay, only 8 kilometers from the breathtaking shores of The Bay of Fires and less than an hour’s drive from the world famous mountain biking tracks of Derby, this property offers the nature lover access to an extremely wide range of activities and experiences. Other things to note: Please note that while you have completely private and exclusive access to the main 3-bedroom house, the property also has a self-contained one bedroom unit that is separated from the main house by a locked garage. This unit has a separate entrance, is separated from the main house and may be occupied from time-to-time (no children). The main driveway to the house is shared. Otherwise, the unit has its own separate and private facilities.

We selected this property specifically for fishing opportunities as alluded to in the listing. No bites from any point of the river on property and only area easily accessible to the shallow river was the “beach” which is an embankment. Per host’s recommendation we drove off road (need FWD) approx 2 mi to another property access point-no fish. *We discovered Beauty Bay jetty in St Helen’s to be a wonderful fishing spot-<10 min drive.

Perched above St Helen’s, this property had it all! Panoramic views, access to a private beach and river access, cute animals (the reindeer was our favourite) and a huge clean modern house which was a home away from home. We loved everything about our stay and couldn’t recommend this property enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again 😊

The house was very spacious and we enjoyed the views. The kids loved feeding the animals and spending time at the creek. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very helpful with recommendations of things to do in the local area. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable too. Our family very much enjoyed our stay here

Very large home with absolutely stunning views. My six year old enjoyed running laps around the open plan living space, and the bedrooms were enough removed that everyone could sleep through her early morning hijinks. We all enjoyed feeding the animals and walking around the property. Given the bad weather during our stay we especially enjoyed the well appointed gourmet kitchen and the comfortable sitting area with Netflix on quite a large tv. The heat worked a treat as well.
This trip has been a long time in the making for us, and with COVID we rescheduled multiple times. Hugh was so patient and flexible with us, I am extremely grateful for his hospitality! With any luck, we'll be back again for some nicer weather.

George River Park
The overall experience at George River Park is exceptional. We stayed here with a group of 8 friends to celebrate a wedding with a relaxing weekend away.
Picture a beautiful, big, modern and open-planned house, perched on the hill of an idyllic 100-acre block of farm land (including a whole host of animals and a private river on the property), with stunning views over St Helens, the George River and George’s Bay.
The property is totally private and secluded, inherently peaceful, yet just minutes away from the St Helens town center or the breathtaking Bay of Fires.
Hugh and Celin present themselves as excellent hosts, the house is in excellent condition and spotlessly clean. The ease of access to the property and the reassurance and support from the owners (who are genuinely invested in making your stay as effortless as possible) over our stay made things a breeze.
Overall, I could not recommend this stay highly enough. The experience that you and your group will receive, given the price, is excellent.
We would definitely stay here again.
Thanks Hugh and Celin!

Magnificent views
Stunning property looking back over the township of St Helens and George's Bay. Only 5 minutes from town but felt like a million miles away, quiet except for the sound of the birds and animals.
Thanks Hugh and Celin for sharing your beautiful house and making the process so easy.

Excellent stay!
Fantastic location, near brand new fittings and all the little things taken care of. And yes, there was a peacock roaming outside our front door.:)
Fabulous views and easy drive to the beach. Walking distance to St Helens. We stayed as a party of 4 adults and two kids and there was plenty of space for everyone.
Kudos to Hugh and Celin, an amazing property. Highly recommend!

As soon as you arrive you feel like you are on holiday. With plenty of parking and a turning circle for boats it is effortless to get in and settled to take in the panoramic views of the bay. The house is immaculate and perfect for a large family or group. A massive open plan kitchen, dining and lounge lets everyone congregate together without obstruction. Everyone will want the master suite for themselves, even though the other 2 rooms give you more than enough comfort and space. The deer, kangaroo, peacocks, emu's and more entertain the kids and there are plenty of areas to ramble around. To top it off Hugh and Celin are the friendliest and easy going landlords you will ever meet. We cannot talk this place up enough, 11 out of 10.

This place is amazing and the hosts are brilliant! Highly recommend, can’t wait to come back.
The host, Hugh, was brilliant at giving advice on what to do in the area and the best places to go on this beautiful and expansive property. There are fantastic animals all over including peacocks, emus and deer. You have to see it to believe it!
Thank you so much for having us, we had the best time and would love to come back at the first opportunity. Thank you especially for accommodating our family members who were unable to stay in their accomodation because of the bush fires.
