The Summer Shack

The Restaurant at the Heart of Coles Bay. Renowned for its warm hospitality and fantastic cuisine, the Géographe Restaurant & Espresso Bar is open seven days, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. This fully-licenced hub in the heart of Coles Bay serves up wood-fired pizzas, fresh local seafood and a host of international specialities, completed by one of Tasmania’s very best espresso bars. With an outdoor decking that offers glorious coastal views, a varied menu that’ll satisfy even the most discerning of palates and local musicians frequenting the venue, Géographe is a must when out exploring the Freycinet Peninsula.

The Freycinet Aqua Express water taxi service is the fastest way to get to the iconic Wineglass Bay Beach. The service takes you into the heart of the Freycinet National Park to Hazards Beach which is a relatively flat 2km (approximately 30 minute) walk along a bushland track to Wineglass Bay. Guests can choose a return service or or walk one way along the iconic Wineglass Bay or Hazards Circuit bushwalking tracks. Freycinet Aqua Express also provides a daily service to Cooks Beach and Schouten Island.
