About this property

Lily Cottage, Port Hughes

Lily Cottage is a recently renovated beach house one street back from the beach (60 metres from front gate to the sand !).

3 bedrooms, comfortable living area and fully equipped, brand new kitchen make it easy for you to just unpack and unwind.

A fully fenced, shady backyard with Hills swing set is perfect for the kids/dogs to play in and just a few minutes walk away are two beaches, a boat ramp and great children's playground.

Try your hand at catching garfish from the jetty or take a walk along one of the beautiful beaches.

If the weather doesn't suit outdoor activities then a flat screen TV in living area and second TV and DVD player in bedroom (with DVD's supplied) mean that you don't have to fight with the kids over what to watch. Board games and books are also provided to help you relax and unwind.

You can self cater, using the gas bbq or the kitchen or give yourself a break and head down to the tavern - just 500 metres away from your front door - for a meal or a drink.

Special consideration has been given to families travelling with young children. The property is "child-proofed" and a full toy chest, wading pool, large selection of family DVDs should provide all the entertainment the kids need so that their parents can relax and enjoy their holiday too. Baby bath, high chair, walker and children's table and chairs are also available.

We also provide quilts, blankets, pillows, a bath mat, hand and tea towels. You will need to bring your own sheets, pillow cases and towels.

PLEASE NOTE : please observe the fence height (1m) on the website photographs. The front of the cottage clearly shows the fencing at it's lowest point. If this is too low for your dogs or children then please be advised that your booking is at your own risk in this regard.

This property is very well presented, very clean, very comfortable couch and beds, indoor and outdoor area, fenced for dogs, well equipped and offers very relaxing space. The biggest plus is how close it is to the stunning beach, a 3 min stroll and you are there! Very close to basic general store and tavern. A perfect easy holiday getaway spot. Highly recommend

Awesome location, welcoming and comfortable

Perfect for a small family getaway. Clean and comfortable enough to enjoy, but homey enough for the kids and dog to relax in. Couldn't have asked for a better location. I don't want to give 5 stars because I'll never find an availability to book it again once everyone knows 😆... but in all honesty it's worth a 5. We had the best little winter holiday.

Always love coming back to Lily Cottage for a peaceful trip, its just like a home away from home. Very clean and tidy and a lovely location. The only changes I would make is more lounge chair seating as there is only enough for 4 even though the house sleeps 6. We also ran out of toilet paper before our final day and didnt bring any as we assumed there would be enough supplied. We look forward to staying there again in the future.
