About this cottage rental
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.

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.
Three cosy bedrooms accommodate 5 guests. The master offers a queen bed, the second bedroom has a double bed, and, the third bedroom has a double bunk with a single bed on top.
An updated bathroom features a shower as well as all the basics including soap, shampoo and conditioner, and hairdryer.

We have gone to some lengths to include a wide selection of DVDs, games, and books to keep you occupied in the house.

You will have Boho all to yourself, sit on the front deck, listen to the birds and rolling ocean, and be free.

Short stay
The cottage is lovely with glimpses of water views. Unfortunately some aspects were not very clean (fridge, kitchen draws, clumps of dust in bedroom) which is a concern in covid times. Outside there was rubbish such as empty water bottles by the wood chopping bay.. a bit of a dumping ground, not what you want to look onto from the balcony. The woodburner was not set up as described and the bins were up at the bottom of the steep driveway by the road. I wouldnt stay again. Which is a shame as the cottage is very Boho!

Really cute and nicely decorated boho beach house with a fire place and required amenities. The only thing was the house was really cold despite using the fireplace and only one bathroom to share among 5 of us which was fine for a night.

A very nice, well equipped and large house.
We enjoyed our stay in the property.
The beach is on the opposite side of the house. You just have to get a good weather to enjoy it.
A large, well equipped kitchen, if you like to cooke on your own.
Unfortunately they use there a tank water, so you have to boil it before drink or bring your own.
The house has got a large deck, with table and bbq.
We recommend this property.

Pictures perfect and lovely family home!
