Beautiful location on the Tamar

What a lovely place to spend a week and explore the north of Tasmania - the local wildlife provided a great deal of interest. The accommodation was first class and the attention to detail was excellent.

What a view! Such a secluded and relaxing location right on the water. Completely private. We loved spending time at the end of a day down on the deck with wine from the region. The Boat House is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Check in was very simple and communication responsive. My only comment would be that there was no milk, which we've become used to relying on for that first night/morning, so grab some on the way. Only a short drive to Beaconsfield where there are 2 IGAs. Oh and we couldn't get the Blueray DVD player to work.... but not necessary. Staring at the fireplace was just as entertaining! We have to recommend Holm Oak Winery nearby which was just the most beautiful place for relaxing with a tasting and charcuterie board. We enjoyed so many others in the region and The Boat House was the perfect place to come home to. Highly recommend and so glad we chose this location.

A piece of paradise beside the Tamar

Stayed to go to champagne houses in the area. Hard to decide if to enjoy the wine at the beautiful wineries nearby or go back to enjoy the wine back at the accommodation, so I did both! A great stay.

Tranquil Holiday House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It is really well appointed for a self contained unit. The house surroundings sited on the banks of the Tamar River make for highly enjoyable and restful weekend. Thankyou for sharing such a lovely place.

Amazing location on the Tamar river. Wallabies in the garden, Possums on the roof at night. Certainly a place to relax and take in the view.

Absolutely Fabulous

Superb private location! Beautifully furnished, wonderful shower, complemented by excellent appliances and quality linens! The bed was the most comfortable we have ever experienced. Our only complaint was that we didn’t get to enjoy the two nights we had booked due to airline flight cancellations!

Lovely and peaceful

We really enjoyed the beauty and convenience of this place. It felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but you were actually close to a lot of Tamar valley attractions. Quiet and restful with the water at the foot of the property.

Beautiful peaceful retreat

Perfect place to relax in nature with a spectacular waterfront location that you can enjoy from either inside the kitchen/living room or outside on the front deck with outdoor setting. Everything was fresh, clean & super comfortable, with a well styled & modern interior. We loved the peace, the bird life & potoroos & of course the view & the wood fire. A fabulous base to enjoy many of the amazing wineries & switch off & recharge. Would recommend 100% without hesitation

Tamar Boathouse an Exceptional Stay

From arriving to the Tamar Boathouse you are drawn to the amazing waterfront views, with your own private dock to sit & enjoy the sunrises over the water and the change of colours in the afternoon skies you can’t help but feel relaxed, The boathouse accommodation is exceptional with its modern furnishings and fixtures there is nothing that you need for as it is all supplied. The king bed is so comfortable it envelopes you with a comfortable night sleep and wake refreshed each morning to enjoy the sunrise over the water. I will be highly recommending the Tamar Boathouse to all my family and friends

Tamar serenity.

Georgous view over the Tamar River, peaceful, semi-rural location. The perfect spot for a rest & recharge. Tamar Boat House is ideally located to provide a base for exploration of Launceston & surrounds along with easy access to the Tamar Region wineries and other attractions. I recommend Seahorse World & Woolmers. Local wildlife, including, cat & cows, visit morning and evenings. The cosy boat house is well appointed and supports a very comforable stay. I will be recommending this property to friends & family.

Great location and accommodation

The boat house is very nice, well laid out and furnished. Very clean and tidy. Excellent location and very quiet and secluded. Great wildlife too, paddy melons, parrots, bunnies and cows perform a fun to watch parade in the front yard. The only thing I would perhaps encourage is more welcoming and encouraging note as you enter and less mention of extra fees if certain items left dirty and more complementary everyday necessities ie: cooking oil, coffee (3 pods were provided for 2 people for 3 nights), beach towels ( maybe we missed them, and maybe even some breakfast cereal and long life milk. Other than that very tranquil and refreshing.

2 nights away

Beautiful views, very comfortable. A bit disappointing that there was no coffee and a broom would have made cleaning up a lot easier. Flywire on the back door was slightly torn and a tear on the ottoman. The bathroom was a good size and had a lovely shower. The bed was comfortable and very big. Not being able to have a fire is also a bit disappointing. But watching the Salmon jumping out of the water was a beautiful sight.
