There must be something in the water in Tasmania… Not only does an insanely beautiful accommodation offering crop up here every other week, but as Sarah Andrews will tell you, it’s a place where magic happens.

Sarah is the owner of Captains Rest, a heritage-listed waterfront cottage turned Airbnb in Strahan, a small town on the state’s west coast. Once a dilapidated shack no one wanted, Sarah has transformed this into an enhancing space that’s become one of the most in-demand accommodations in the Apple Isle.
