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.

Southport, Tasmania

Very clean and cosy. Great outlook out to sea from living areas and bedrooms.It was good having a fire as it was very cold. The only disappointment for us was the weather which stopped us from enjoying the deck and beautiful view. We thoroughly enjoyed a day at Hastings Thermal pool and caves. The pub was great for dinner which was suggested from the host. We also enjoyed a BBQ at the property. A remote and secluded area of coastline offering lots of natural beauty.

Relaxing, charming comfort

A great location to relax, away from it all, especially in winter. We lit a fire, and had cozy evenings cooking comfort food and savoring local TAS wines. Lovely local walks, and scenic drives.

Seaside bliss and relaxation

Summertime Cottage was cute, comfy and cosy. Perfect for our 5 night stay. It had everything we needed. We went for lovely walks along the beach, watched the Pacific Gulls and sea eagles, and explored the area (South Cape walk). Would highly recommend the cottage to anyone looking to relax and unwind and world the world pass you by.

So lovely!

This place is a gem. You can watch the waves roll over the length of the beach from the couch, dining table and sun bed. The sound of the waves and the wood heater had us relaxing in minutes of arriving. The place is a perfect layout and had absolutely everything you usually forget to pack (I.e salt, oil, paper towels etc). Comfortable furnishings and very comfortable beds
