About this property
summer beach house
Discover Southern Tasmania
Summertime Cottage is the ideal location for a relaxing break away with or without the family! Relax in laid back shack style with only a bottle of wine between you and the beach. Light the fire, drag over a couple of easy chairs and kick back…
This spacious and cosy cottage combines comfort and convenience with an outlook that is to be envied! Stunning views from inside and out as you take in the absolute beauty and quiet activity of Southport’s bay.
The beach fishing is second to none. A fishing rod will soon have a couple of good sized flathead in the bag. Squid can be caught from the end of the jetty at night, under the light. Huge Oysters and mussels can be collected off the rocks past the boat ramp at low tide.
Whether you are after a romantic getaway, a great family holiday or a week’s fishing, your dream holiday awaits you at Summertime Cottage!
This area has become known as "Far South Tasmania" and is quite unique. There are lots of things to see and do, if you can drag yourself away from the beach.
