The Summer Shack is simple and cosy. A cottage by the sea. Clean and concise. Our Summer Shack is an ode to the Danish ‘sommerhus’ – oozing ‘hygge’ – the feeling of warmth loved ones, and good times. This home away from home is a place you can relax all year round. Slow down and enjoy this little haven in Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring. You will be taken away by the mesmerising views of the iconic Hazards Mountain Range, while being conveniently located in the centre of Coles Bay.
This two-bedroom cottage has spacious bedrooms, with a main bedroom looking out to the famous Hazards range. Open a book and snuggle up by a crackling woodfire in the cosy lounge room, or entertain loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen that has all you need to dine in. Spend days walking along the nearby beaches and enjoy breakfast or lunch on the balcony, while basking in the sun and sweeping views.
The Summer Shack is a wonderful and affordable space for small families, couples, or friends to stay, who want to be close to everything in Coles Bay.
This sought-after location is a short stroll to the local Tavern, cafes & bakery, beaches, shop, ice creamery, park, tennis court and Wineglass Bay Cruises.
Take a short drive to the Freycinet National Park with walking tracks to the world-renowned and awe-inspiring beauty of Wine Glass Bay. Hop aboard a Wine Glass Bay Cruise and enjoy the grandeur of the magnificent coastline line with an abundance of wildlife. Explore the majestic Cape Tourville lighthouse perched atop the high granite cliffs.
