Boho Cottage - close Port Arthur Historic Site

Boho Cottage is a vintage gem nestled in the stunning surrounds of the Tasman Peninsula in the aptly named holiday hamlet of White Beach

Spend days here, relaxing, exploring, walking, swimming, fishing, surfing, dreaming, or use it as a base to explore this rich natural beauty and history of the area.

The cottage is located a short walk from the white sands of White Beach and a short drive from Port Arthur Historic Site, natural geological attractions, amazing walking tracks, and secluded bays

Discover the natural beauty of the Tasman Peninsula from the comfort of this light-filled vintage shack located just a short walk from aptly named White Beach, and just a 60 minutes' drive from Hobart Airport.

Stunning views span the coastal scenery of Storm Bay, Bruny Island, and Mt Wellington in the distance.

Inside, open plan living is ideal for both relaxing and socialising. Head out to nearby attractions by day, then come home and cook up a meal to enjoy with a wine by the fire on crisp, cool evenings. Or better still grab a book and sit on the elevated front deck and take in the beatiful views of natural bush and sea views beyond.

Our little shack is a comfortable space celebrating a typical Tasmanian shack culture and certainly doesn't aspire to be a luxury hotel. There are many carefully collected vintage finds that are bound to strike a nostalgic twinge for many of our guests.

Whether you want a base to explore this incredible region or a peaceful escape to be immersed in nature, this single-level, three-bedroom property is the perfect home away from home.

The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals at home, including a fridge, freezer, cooktop, convection oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, and other cooking essentials like pots, pans, and utensils. Eat around the timber dining table, then kick back in the living room on one of the comfy lounges or armchairs to watch TV or read from a selection of books available or just sit and chill.
