The Boat Shed offers excellent value accommodation close to Hobart, the amazingly beautiful capital city of Tasmania, Australia.

A comfortable and modern cottage, The Boat Shed is the only guest accommodation in the sandford area and is located on five waterfront acres overlooking Ralph's Bay, Mortimer Bay and Gorringes Beach on Hobart's Paradise Peninsula.

From the cottage, you cannot sense anything other than extraordinary water views, and a panoramic vista of Mount Wellington and the distant riverfront suburbs of Hobart. Apart from the appearance of one or two windsurfers on the right day or the occasional walker, the privacy and solitude are palpable.

Yet the cottage is a pleasant rural waterfront drive of only 25 minutes to the centre of Hobart city, 20 minutes from the international and domestic airport, and less than 10 minutes from the waterfront village of Lauderdale.

Our tariff includes ample breakfast provisions and all sorts of distractions to while away some peaceful hours.

As we have with all of our guests, let us exceed your expectations.

A modern waterfront holiday cottage on a secluded 5 acres, with views across Ralphs Bay to Mt Wellington and Hobart, ‘The Boat Shed’ is just 25 minutes from the city centre.

It offers cosy self contained accommodation with all facilities. It is far enough from town to provide solitude, but close enough to enjoy the many attractions of Hobart and Tasmania’s South.

Walking tracks are at your front door. The ‘Tangara Trail’ starts at South Arm, passes by the Boat Shed, and ends at Seven Mile beach, a distance of 15 kilometres. The Boat Shed overlooks Gorringes Beach on Mortimer Bay with 3 kilometres of white sandy beach to stroll along, and hardly a soul to be seen.
To relax, you can select from a library of reading material, produce the next Piccasso at your leisure, select from our movie collection, or simply watch the ever-changing weather roll down the Derwent River or across the bay.

From the Boat Shed, it is an easy drive to all places on the Tasman Peninsula, 20 minutes to the airport, 25 minutes to historic Richmond and a leisurely drive into Hobart. Close to golf courses, wineries, restaurants, horse riding and the beautiful beaches of the South Arm and Tasman Peninsulas.

This is a romantic hideaway, ideal for any couple looking for some peace and quiet. The Boat Shed is just the place for that well deserved break you’ve promised yourself.

Minimum stay 2 consecutive nights.
