Boho Cottage is our haven for recharging and reflection nestled in the stunning surrounds of the Tasman Peninsula area. We spend every possible moment here, relaxing, exploring, walking, swimming, fishing, surfing, dreaming — and like us, we hope that every guest who stays will love it as much as we do. The cottage is located a short walk from the white sands of White Beach and a short drive from the Port Arthur Historic Site, natural geological attractions, amazing walking tracks, and secluded bays.
Featuring 3 beautifully decorated bedrooms, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and an open plan cosy living and dining area. All beds and appliances have been purchased new with the intention of providing you with a most comfortable and enjoyable stay.
There are two staircases off the front deck but reasonably flat access is provided at the rear of the property which will be your first entrance point.
We have gone to some lengths to include a wide selection of DVDs, games, and books to keep you occupied in the house.
We strongly recommend a daily walk on the beach and that you explore the many attractions located on the Tasman Peninsula.
Just prior to your stay you will be sent a unique code to access the property. The access code will promptly expire at the conclusion of your stay. The keypad for the access code is located at the entrance door under the carport at the rear of the cottage.
The majority of the property is free for you to access. The garage has been excluded but there is a large carport which we suggest you use given that the property is surrounded by natural bush.
We are available by phone from 8 am to 8 pm if you have any questions during your stay.
We would love it if you could message us when you have arrived safely and also a message on leaving is appreciated so we can clean as early as possible for our next guests.
Please please let me know as soon as you can if there are any issues at all so I have a chance to take the appropriate action to ensure your stay is it should be - totally stress free and relaxing!!
As I am not in the area I am unable to personally check the house before your arrival - I am heavily reliant on my housekeeper and I need to know as soon as possible if you and therefore me have been let down in any way by the presentation of Boho Cottage.
The Tasman Peninsula has an abundance of things to do and see.
White Beach itself is perfect for all beach activities, including boating, fishing, swimming, beachcombing, relaxing, snorkeling, kayaking, etc.
