- Susan (10/5): Very pleasant, very comfortable - Very comfortable and well equipped. I loved the blue colours for the decor, such a good change from neutrals it gave the place character. The TV having a beautiful picture when not in use instead of a blank screen was a plus. All good

- Donna (10/5): - It was clean , comfortable & met all our needs. Its very well contained with everything you could need . Nothing . It was perfect
- Russell (9/5): - The house is lovely, so clean and fresh with everything you need. The bed is a bit soft for me, so didn't have the best sleep but this is a personal thing, overall it is a lovely house to stay.
- Elizabeth Djoeke (9/5): - Shell Cottage ist Groß, modern eingerichtet, Küche ist voll ausgestattet, an alles ist gedacht! Es fehlen ein par Sträucher und ein Baum im Garten, es ist alles Kahl.
- Denise (8/5): A very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing stay - It was a very relaxing stay for us and had all the basic necessities
- Thomas (6/5): - It was quite cold, the house manual said that 18 degrees would keep it warm but leaving it on near 30 still left it chilly
- Suzy Hori (9/5): Fantastic location, all the comforts of home. - Very well set up - lounge, kitchen, laundry, bathroom - impressed. Our friends asked where we were staying and have asked for your details. Location was perfect. The mattress in the main bedroom.
- Toni (10/5): Very pleasant and comfortable - Space cleanliness fresh Toilet flushing extremely loud
Would have appreciated an essentials welcome pack eg cereal or fruit as no nearby stores open after 5pm
- Georgina (9/5): Perfect for what we needed! - Absolutely spotless, large, bright and had everything we needed The mattress was a bit lumpy and lopsided but otherwise the property was terrific. A short drive to Coles Bay wasn’t a huge issue.
- Vichada Jeanne (9/5): -
- Rita (10/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): - Lots of room, impeccably clean with an open airy feel. Samsung TV was great so we cold mirror and stream. Coffee Plunger was an awesome touch. Very comfortable cottage. One of the best places weve stayed at. Location out of town but we didnt mind the 5min travel
- Kathryn (10/5): A pleasant place to launch into exploring the Freycinet National Park! - Every convenience was provided! Bed was comfortable and living space light, airy and welcoming! Wasn’t able to get onto the Wifi…
- Guillermo (10/5): Magnífica casa en Coles Bay - Apartamento muy bien equipado. Tiene todo lo que necesitas. Perfectamente situado para visitar Freycinet Nat Park. Que tienen café soluble en polvos, en vez de máquina Nespreso o café de verdad.
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Ossie (10/5): Great spot to stay for an extended visit - Very clean, comfortable, with a huge amount of space and well stocked with utilities. The heated bathroom floor was magic. Nothing to add
- Phil (10/5): Brilliant Modern Beach House with Old school charm - Wow !!!
What a modern brilliant beach house,
My Son and I travelled over 2300km around Tassie for ten days from interstate and we stayed in some very nice places , but this was by far our favourite.
It Has the feel of a old style beach house ,big bedrooms with comfy queen beds, spacious inside and with great wrap around verandas but with all the mod cons,
Great kitchen and bathroom and heating in all the rooms for those winter months.
The area surrounding the cottage is world class and for the travellers this is a must see part of the world
We couldn’t have been happier with our choice
Thanks Phillip for the great directions made it so easy to find
10/10 Not a thing
Only that we couldn’t stay longer
- Wong (10/5): Dream house at Tassie - Very nice and cosy house. Simple decoration yet everything you need is available. Felt like my dream house came true. Will rent this place again. Nil
- Ghc (9/5): Superb -
- Trevor (10/5): Everything you could possibly want, and close to Frecyinet NP. - An exceptional find, Shell Cottage is an immaculate new home, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, and in a great location. Highly recommended and nothing to fault.
- Leigh (10/5): Plenty of room. - Plenty of room and good laundry.
- Naomi (10/5): Great stay, beautiful house and location. - Beautiful house, great amenities. Location was great, just a short 5min walk to the beach and a 5min drive to Coles Bay. Nothing
- Ross (9/5): Superb - Beautifu modernl house and we'll equipped. Very peaceful
- Helene (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): Nice location - Very good communication with Phil. Excellent kitchen utilities. Not sure why it's showing a sad face!! 🙂
- Gi (4/5): Sad experience: I have time stamped videos and texts as evidence of the property too - The location of the property was great. The facilities were clean for the most part. I had a sub par experience staying at Shell Cottage in Coles Bay, Tasmania. From the moment I arrived, the service was questionable, and the property was in an already used state.
First, I didn’t receive check-in instructions until 30 minutes after arrival, despite sending two messages and making three phone calls. When we finally got inside, we were shocked to find that the house had not been cleaned at all.
• The bed was messy, with thick black hair and long tangled strands of hair.
• There were wet towels left on the bathroom floor.
• The soap was used and caked onto the seashell soap dish.
• Dirty coffee cups were left in the sink.
• The fridge contained an opened carton of milk.
I contacted the property manager, Phil, who arrived 10 minutes later. He offered to move us to another property nearby, but when we got there, it was even worse—dirty, smelly, and completely uninhabitable. We tried airing it out, but after finding a broken kettle and a dirty fridge, we gave up.
I called Phil again and said I’d rather return to the first house if he could provide clean towels and bed linen. He said he’d be back in 30 minutes but took an hour to arrive. I then had to change the bed linen myself!
This experience was completely unacceptable. I have photos and videos proving the shocking state of both properties, including me having to change the sheets.
For the price paid, this was a poor experience.
- Karin (6/5): Poor - Roomy... This place needs a really good clean! There were crumbs from rice crisps & crackers on the floor around the coffee table from last tenants. I left after one night, supposed to stay 2 nights.
- Diane (4/5): Great Size - Loved the size of property and all the mod cons Lack of window coverings at kitchen and sliding doors.
Had major issues after arriving and manager wasn't the best at responding.
- Serena (8/5): Very good -
- Natalie (9/5): Superb -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Tanya (9/5): Superb -
- Zuohao (8/5): Meets expectations - Space, cleanliness, security, warmth. It provides us with everything we needed for our roadtrip. Everything is renovated nicely. We especially liked the toilet and bathroom. Bedroom can be a bit stuffy. Also was informed that using an additional room would incur additional charge, which is not stated while booking. For that, I will give a rating of 8/10.
TV is not directly in front of the sofa but near the corner of the living room.
It would be great if the kitchen also has privacy curtains.
- Heather (10/5): Exceptional -
- Desmond (9/5): Superb -
- Maureen (9/5): Did not disappoint! - Great floor plan layout, extremely well appointed, wonderful veranda, comfortable and clean, coffee maker in lieu of instant coffee was much appreciated and the heat lamp in the bathroom was a nice bonus. The view wasn’t great but we didn’t care! Everything else was pretty much spot on and we got great views on our hikes.
- Deborah (10/5): A large comfortable house with the lot. - A large house, very roomy but has every thing for a great stay. Very clean and the bathroom was excellent with separate toilet, fantastic,
- Judith (10/5): Very comfortable, clean and well appointed. - All fixtures and facilities were of a high standard. Although we were very happy with what was there if I could suggest one improvement it would be the addition of a full length mirror.
- Clare (10/5): A relaxing, comfortable stay and very clean - It was a lovely quiet location, a very modern, bright, clean place Nothing
- Megan (9/5): Superb -
- Andrea (9/5): Superb - Good location and very comfortable, modern.
- Rachael (10/5): Great stay - Lovely new and clean cottage. Great facilities and close to Coles Bay.
- Chu (9/5): Superb - The location & amenities was fantastic. It was only short drive to national park and it is 5mins drive to coles bay town.
Walking distance to the beach.
Got all the facilities. We will definitely stay there again if we go back. Small issue: We booked for 2 people so the place got 2 bedrooms but we are only allowed to pick one bedroom else we have to pay $40 extra, this part didn't seem right but luckily we are a couple.
The blinds in the bedroom are not block out.

- Kate (9/5): Superb - Fabulous house, airy, bright, so comfortable and absolutely everything we needed. Loved the effort put into the decor, really nice beach vibe, and loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom.
Walk to the local beach! Great spots to sit on verandah and loved the washing machine! Everything good. Because it's not right in Coles Bay, you don't have the sensational inlet views, but it's still a really nice view inland. Really can't fault.
- Clare (10/5): Exceptional - Really clean and modern house with excellent facilities. Lots of outdoor seating space, lovely big bathroom with great walk-in shower.
