Cockle Shell is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. It was well stocked with goodies that you need for everyday and things you don't really think about. Everything is supplied and was so clean, with plenty of tourist type information provided. The shower is superb! So quiet and peaceful inside with double glazing...and a lovely spot to sit under the verandah (and to have a bbq in the weber) and listen to the waves from the nearby East Beach, which is a very short stroll across the community run golf course. We had breakfast sitting at the comfy outdoor setting most days. Peter and Zing are fabulous hosts and there is nothing they don't know about the area and Launceston. They are so friendly, obliging and accommodating. Great base for some lovely walks. Very sad to say goodbye, but will definitely return.

Perfect location for access to Low Head and surrounding areas. Across from the beach, pilot station, and a local cafe with great coffee and amazing fresh fish and chips. Walking distance to the lighthouse and penguin colony.
Close to drive to local attractions like seahorse world and Platypus House, and Bridport for a large playground for kids, Saturday market and food van park. 6 minute drive to George George Town, which also has a great playground.
The accommodation was great for kids. House was lovely and warm, and had a fully stocked kitchen and great wifi.
The hosts are lovely and helpful with local tips on places to go and had beach toys available for the kids.

This property has the perfect location…down the road from the lighthouse and across a very quiet golf course to a beautiful beach. Everything was spotlessly clean and fresh, the kitchen was very well-stocked with plenty of cutlery, crockery and utensils, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. There was also an under-cover area with a Weber BBQ and seating. We had a very relaxing stay here and would recommend Cockle Shell to anyone visiting this part of Tassie.
Although we knew the address of the B&B, it is located at the back of the property and therefore is invisible from the road. A ‘Cockle Shell’ (or even ‘B&B’) sign near the letterbox would have been so helpful.

Quiet location, but not too far out of the way of local attractions.

opposite the historic pilot station and near the penguin parade. Very good location and very comfortable
8.0 / 10.0
Location is great - easy walk across golf course to East beach via back gate or up the road to the lighthouse. Unit is quite small but clean and modern and had what we needed for 2 people. More people might be a bit of a squeeze. Outside setting is nice - good views over back fence.
When we arrived it wasn't 100% clear where we could park as you have to drive across the owners backyard lawn, however we worked it out. Front gate is a bit tight - had to be careful entering and exiting. Property did require prepayment in full unlike our other stays on our trip.

A very neat, clean, tidy bungalow, adjacent to the golf links which was peaceful to look at and very quiet. Short walk across the links to the beach which was lovely. Close to the Pilot Station, Museum, and Lighthouse-all of which we visited.
Perhaps laundry facilities within the bungalow would have been useful.

Particularly liked the large undercover area, big table but still lots of sheltered space

Great little bungalow, separate from the main house, with covered outdoor area.
The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Lots of extras: condiments, utensils etc.
Very quiet location. You can walk to East beach via the gate in the back fence - just a short walk across the golf course. The Low Head pilot station is directly across the road and it's a 1klm walk to the lighthouse. Great walking/running paths beside the road.
I think it would be tight if more than 2 people were staying here. You can't have the door open fully as it obscures the TV.
Having said that, we would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely everything! Cockle Shell was an amazing and well suited lil home for our needs. It was immaculate and cosy. Peter's help and foreknowledge of where to go and what we could do was a blessing as it helped us explore some of the sites surrounding the property. Definitely well worth the money and would stay again in a heartbeat.
Nothing. Definitely the best beach unit and ideal for couples and small families

This bungalow had all we needed for two couples. having the outdoor area meant plenty of space for 4 adults. We made use of the BBQ for a great outdoors meal. The cottage had plenty of equipment and utensils to cover our needs.
it’s a far way to shops etc do you must plan ahead.
The rooms are a little stuffy in warm nights. Fans would help.
