Cottage, Holiday house, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment

A comfortable and modern cottage, 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 drive of only 25 minutes to the centre of Hobart city, 20 minutes from the domestic airport, and less than 10 minutes from the waterfront village of Lauderdale.

What a beautiful way to start our honeymoon. What a perfect place, we won't find anything like it anywhere. 'Howz the serenity'!
Craig and Emma, Crystal Brook SA

Thanks to Judy and Allan for a perfect spot and a great house from which to explore Tassie. We booked-ended our trip at The Boat Shed. What a beautiful place to come 'home' to at the end of our trip.

Locality

‘The Boat Shed is just 25 minutes from the city centre and 20 minutes from the airport.

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. Close to golf courses, wineries, restaurants, horse riding and the beautiful beaches of the South Arm.

Minimum stay 2 consecutive nights.
