The Summer Shack is all about slowing down, soaking up the views, and making memories by the sea. Perched in the heart of Coles Bay with the Hazards mountain range rising dramatically in front of you, this humble little cottage has everything you need for an easy, memorable getaway.
Step inside and you’ll find a space that’s warm, relaxed, and designed for comfort. The two spacious bedrooms make it perfect for families, friends, or couples looking for a place to call home while exploring Freycinet. Wake up to the sight of the Hazards from the main bedroom, curl up in the lounge with a good book and the crackle of the woodfire (Available May-September), or gather in the kitchen where everything is on hand for a home-cooked meal. The balcony is the perfect spot to start the day with breakfast in the sun, or to unwind after a day of adventure while gazing out across those unforgettable mountain views.
The location couldn’t be better. From your front door you’re just moments away from the local tavern, cafés, bakery, and the famous Coles Bay ice creamery. Stroll to the beaches, the shop, or even the Wineglass Bay Cruise terminal, all while knowing that the entrance to Freycinet National Park is just a short drive away. Spend your days walking the trails to world-renowned Wineglass Bay, discovering the coastline by boat, or standing in awe at Cape Tourville lighthouse.
Back at the Summer Shack, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a cosy fireplace (perfect for the cooler months), a BBQ for relaxed evenings, WiFi, TV, and family-friendly extras like a portacot and highchair. It’s simple, welcoming, and set in one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking spots.
The Summer Shack is a chance to enjoy the best of both worlds: a laid-back seaside base with views you’ll never forget, and all the convenience of being close to town and the national park.
