Beach holiday cottage – 15 minutes’ drive from Hobart
Quaint seaside cottage set in rambling gardens only 15 minutes’ drive from Hobart. Available for your exclusive use. Enjoy a romantic getaway or have the family join you at your own beach house!
Nestled behind a hedge on the south bank of Lauderdale Canal, this enchanting 100 year old fisherman’s cottage is a hidden treasure. The tranquil waters of the canal are just outside the front gate. West of Laudslaw Cottage, Mt Wellington provides a backdrop for picturesque Ralphs Bay. Launch your canoe or windsurfer out the front of the cottage and explore the surrounding waterways, or stroll to the eastern end of the canal and discover Roches Beach. The views across Frederick Henry Bay will take your breath away!
Explore Hobart and surrounds from your secluded hideaway. Fly into Hobart Airport, hire a car and follow the signs from Seven Mile Beach to Lauderdale. Or catch the ferry to Devonport and drive down to Lauderdale, via the historic Midlands and the Coal River Valley wineries.
