Australis, formerly Ataraxia is a real home-from-home. Just a 10-minute stroll from Southwold High Street, a pleasant walk to Southwold Pier and with local independent grocery store Bridgefoot Stores at the end of the road, Australis enjoys a wonderful location. The cottage offers perfect self-catering accommodation for a couple looking to explore the Suffolk Coast or a small family in search of a welcoming base for their holiday or short break.

The original sitting room and dining room have been knocked through to create one large, but inviting living space. The lounge area has a comfortable sofa, character brick fireplace, smart TV and plenty of books and games to keep you entertained, while the dining area is blessed with a wonderful wood burner, ideal for cosy winter evenings. The kitchen is small but well equipped with appliances including a range style cooker, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, a double to the front of the cottage and a single/twin bedroom overlooking the rear courtyard. Please note that if using the pull-out trolley bed, space is restricted and the door will not fully close. The shower room is spacious with an enclosed shower cubicle with electric shower, WC and basin.

Outside there are front and rear courtyards. The rear courtyard has table and chairs and is a pleasant and peaceful nook in which to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon siesta or an evening meal.

Australis has been a popular holiday cottage for a long time. It was formerly named Ataraxia. The new owners of the property are passionate about providing guests with a truly delightful holiday experience and will be putting their own stamp on the cottage over the coming months. We will update photos soon.
