Shannon Coastal Cottages - King Island

Self-contained accommodation

Shannon Cottages allow guests to enjoy spectacular and remote coastal scenery in four and half star comfort. Perched on two hectares of panoramic, waterfront land, the cottages overlook Currie Harbour and provide magnificent views of the rugged, west coast of King Island in Bass Strait. Guests can enjoy peace and tranquility; watch the Southern Ocean rollers crashing below and laden crayfish boats scurrying to offload their precious cargo.

Situated 3 kms from the main town of Currie, the two furnished cottages, of one and two bedrooms, offer complete privacy and are ideal for a couple or a family. Both cottages feature a fully equipped kitchen, gas fire, TV, video and a corner spa. A light breakfast is inclusive of tariff. Laundry, telephone, facsimile and CDMA mobile coverage are provided.

Enjoy the many activities; rock fish from Devils Gap with rods provided; spot the native wildlife, pheasants, turkeys, wallabies, potoroo, possum, echidna and platypus; swim or collect shells from the nearby beach. Visit the King Island Dairy, studio art galleries and island cottage industries. Follow the shipwreck trail; see the calcified forest.

Nearby restaurants offer the freshest of King Island produce; succulent crayfish, juicy beef, plump oysters and specialty cheeses, accompanied by fine Tasmanian wines.
