We arrived to warm and lighted rooms, as well as champagne and delicious fresh bread. So welcoming. The location was the perfect base from which to explore the south of Tasmania and we had everything we needed in our self-contained accommodation. Even though the weather was cool, we were so cozy with central heating and a fireplace. The jacuzzi was an added bonus, as was the inquisitive wildlife. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Lorraine H.

Our very own private dream home. The quality decor made this stay extra special. Deliberately fitted out to the little unexpected it made us feel like we were special. The views from the HOT hot-tub were soaked up for hours and at night you are reminded again what a gem the Boathouse is. The well primed fire place with ample wood, the absolute silence and the STARS. Our 3 night stay will stay with us for a long time. Clearly we fell in love with the Boathouse. Thank you so much. ##### David S.
