Relax on the back deck with the BBQ fired up, take a swim, launch your boat at the street end for some fishing, or cozy up by the fire with wine or whisky in cooler months. This breezy 60s-style shack blends retro charm with modern comforts. Stroll to the beach, breathe in the salty air, and discover great coffee, wine, and food just five minutes away. Our happy place by the sea is perfect for slowing down, switching off, and soaking up the coastal vibes. Inside, you’ll find two spacious queen bedrooms; the main opens onto the back deck and includes a small walk-in robe, a little office nook, and its own private entry, while the second has a built-in robe for storage, along with the iron, ironing board, and a few cosy extras like spare blankets. The open living space is made for relaxing, with a fireplace to keep things toasty in the cooler months, two separate study nooks if you need a quiet moment, and a well-equipped kitchen for cooking up something simple after the beach. Slide open the door to the back deck and you will find comfy outdoor furniture for kicking back with a drink, a big yard for the kids to run around in, and even a private infrared sauna downstairs that you’re welcome to use for a small daily fee. We hope you love The Happy Shack as much as we do — it’s relaxed, roomy, and full of good energy, perfect for beach days, board games, and everything in between. Guests have full access to the entire property during their stay, including all indoor and outdoor spaces. Please note the downstairs room is locked, but access will be provided if you wish to use the sauna. Feel free to make yourselves at home and enjoy all the amenities available. We\`re mostly around, but happy to leave you to enjoy what you came for. Please contact us if you have any issues whatsoever, or just want some local tips. Hawley Beach and surrounds are the ideal escape for any time of the year. With it\`s picturesque sandy beaches and pristine waters for swimming, fishing, a spot of surfing, or taking the kids fossicking out to the Island at low tide, Hawley has something for everyone. Within one minute\`s drive is the boat ramp (4wd needed!), there\`s a local surf club and markets open on a Friday night during the summer months, offering local food, produce, music and entertainment. All within a three-minute drive of Hawley you\`ll find Woolworths, Amcal Pharmacy, BWS, United fuel station, IGA Supermarket, Shearwater Food Co and the Shearwater Tavern. In addition there\`s a selection of fine cafes - The Workshop, Muse, Brewstone and Trend Shed are all close by and ready to keep you caffeinated! You\`ll find Hawley is quiet and friendly, most will say hi on their morning walks and you\`ll see some of our senior citizens (or polar bears) going for their early dip all-year-round. There\`s a bus service that will take you into Devonport (Merseylink), otherwise with enough notice there\`s Devonport Taxi\`s on 131008\. Sadly there\`s no Uber service as yet in the local area, bear in mind Hawley is a quiet place...the reason you\`ve gotten away from the hustle & bustle to begin with! PLEASE be careful when walking underneath the house out the back, there\`s a low steel beam which is very easy to bump into, especially during the dark. We\`ve wrapped it in a thin layer of foam and caution tape, however one can still give it a good whack if not careful. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet -
