About the Crayshack

Crayshack is an authentic Tasmanian beach side shack on the water. Located at 6 Armstrong Ave, Killiecrankie. There are 3 queen rooms, 1 outside loo & shower, fully equiped kitchen, day bed, smart tv, laundry, BBQ & outdoor fire pit.

Please note the toilet and shower is accessed outside the shack. This is not an issue for us, however we want you to be aware of this.

Located right on Killiecrankie Beach with views across the bay, the Crayshack is a dreamy escape where shoes are very much optional! Featuring 3 bedrooms, a fully newly renovated kitchen, dining area and day beds. It now has a cosy indoor wood heater, outdoor baths and (we think) one of the best outside showers in Australia! The outside loo and laundry is a highlight of the property. The large wooden deck is ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails or saying g'day to the local wallabies.

The Crayshack has an authentic, Tassie shack vibe in the best sort of way, its eclectic and finishes make you appreciate the seaside life. Everything here is custom and the amazing custom linen and towels by Quoin The Label make this property feel amazing. The Crayshack has been listed in many of the best Tasmanian shack features and you can't get a better location or vibe when staying on Flinders.
