a little home away from home. an excellent place to catch your breath and plan trips around this area. the cottage was spotless, had everything you needed and the lovely wood fire was ready to burn.

Lois Australia

The cottage was a few kilometres from town so it was very quiet. Good amenities and access to a washing machine if needed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Sistagirl Australia

Everything, very relaxing and comfortable and the owners had thought of everything we could possibly need. Well stocked cabin and pantry. If in the area in the future would definitely stay there again

Felt like home, comfortable and relaxed. Owners had anticipated every need.

Debbie Australia

We were warmly welcomed by the host. The cottage is in a very quiet location which suited us perfectly. The nearest shops/supermarket was a few minutes drive away. The cottage was well equipped with lots of extras. Breakfast cereal, bread, eggs etc was provided. The only slight negative being the slightly uncomfortable couch.

Sistagirl Australia

Our time at Cosy Cottage was very relaxed, comfortable and enjoyable. Everything we could have asked for, and more, was provided. The open-plan cottage was spacious, beautifully presented and decorated, and a real pleasure to stay in. Mark was an excellent host. We would highly recommend Cozy Cottage and hope to stay again.

Heather Australia

Private, quiet and exceptionally clean. The cottage has everything you could need. Great walking tracks nearby, through the Port Sorell Conservation Area to the Rubicon Estuary.

Elaine Australia

The size of the of the property was very clean and comfortable inside

Vivian Australia

Julie & Mark Swanson
Conveniently located approximately 20 minutes drive from the Devonport Airport and Spirit of Tasmania Terminal. The Cosy Cottage is a fully self-contained holiday unit that is clean, comfortable, and cosy !! Sleeps up to 2 guests in open plan studio style accommodation with a queen bed and single bed. Portacot is also available. Lives up to its name with a very cosy fireplace. ​
Your hosts Mark and Julie Swanson live onsite at the 1.5 acre property and will be available 24/7 should you need assistance. We moved from Western Australia in 2011 after falling in love with the Tasmanian lifestyle and beautiful picturesque surroundings.
Located in the peaceful semi-rural suburb of Squeaking Point, you'll enjoy the tranquil bush surrounds of this 1.5 acre property, just minutes from the Rubicon River, Port Sorell and the beautiful beaches of Hawley Beach. About 6km from the Port Sorell / Shearwater town centre with supermarkets, chemist, ATM, liquor store, petrol stations, take away stores, cafes and more. Enjoy a meal at the Shearwater Resort. Just a few minutes stroll from the Rubicon River, enjoy fishing, swimming and boating on this beautiful river. Bring your boat along. Or if you prefer golf there are 2 fantastic courses to choose from within 5km.
