The Pot Boil Courtyard

The north facing Courtyard with fire pit has been a place for many years where invited locals barbecue their food and share a salad and dessert. Named because the pot can boil on the barbecue but also for the roaring of the Pot Boil (where the tides meet, east of Flinders Island and Cape Barren) which can be heard and seen from Cooma House. This space is warm, sheltered and the place for story telling around the fire.

The Outside Studio

The two pine ‘thrones’ and six chairs around the pine table in the outside studio were hand crafted by Tasmanian artist John Parish when he lived on Flinders Island. The bar originated as a 1970‘s school library desk; the dresser and hutch came from the same place. This space is ideal for sheltered outdoor meetings with views to the sea but also used for au plein air art and special theatrical dining experiences - or just a cuppa.

The Terrace

This is a newly created space. On most days there is a clear view to the North, up the East Coast where the crags of Babel Island, including the Lion’s Head, are visible - a rarity from Flinders Island.

In September, you’re surrounded by flowering bulbs but for the rest of the year, it is the best place to feel the air move or to see and hear the Pot Boil where the tides meet in the East.

The Labyrinth

The Labyrinth is a nautilus shape, designed along the principles of the golden spiral. It is also designed to enable a connection to our spiritual side.

In line with the ideal of using what we have and having what we use, the pathways of the labyrinth are delineated with glass bottles upended, jewelled in the ground.

Let the world go by while the walk is experienced and all becomes aligned.

The Eastern VerandaH

A space for mornings and beginnings - where the early sun teases us whilst we are sitting at the tables, talking, feeling the day and looking out through the sculptured bush and trees to the islands - or straight across to the town of Lady Barron.

Enjoy a leisurely cuppa, served in beautiful cups, a talk and a laugh; you’re half outside and half not.

The Parish Sitting Room

This sitting room is overseen with a self portrait by the artist John Parish who built the original house. He also made the chairs and tables in this room from a tree I used to play on at the Riddles of Badger Corner. The cushions are filled with mutton bird feathers. It is a good space for succession planning or just a snug meeting place, especially after a meal or a day out - or to make a coffee or tea for your room.

Reading Room

The ground floor reading room has a couple of little nooks to sit in after choosing from the shelves of contemporary fiction and local interest books.
