About this property
Carrick Cottage on the waterfront
Carrick is a charming, heritage listed cottage on the waterfront of Portarlington. Set amongst beautiful gardens with century old trees and 180-degree views out to the bay. Built in the 1850's, Carrick is one of the oldest properties in the area, perfect for groups that will appreciate its history and character.
The property is shared with a second cottage - 'Coton', this is wheelchair accessible and can sleep a further 6 guests, accommodating 12 guests in total, ideal for larger groups.
Picket fences and lavender lined pathways create a facade that instantly makes you feel comfortable and at home. Guests can spend time in the front garden looking out over the ocean, watch the Spirit of Tasmania and many other ships make their way into the bay. Directly across the road you have Brown's beach, ideal for a morning or arvo stroll. The main street of Portarlington is just a short 15-minute walk away.
Inside, the wood fire creates a cosy ambience. This character home sleeps up to six guests and is well equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay.
