The Boat House is a serene place for 2 or can enjoyed with one other couple or with your besties. Two mirror image bedrooms expansive waterfront views — as well as each having a deep bath with unlimited hot water. She's cosy with everything you need to luxuriate and relax. Set alongside Tasmania’s Tamar river in a lush valley known for its ample wineries, rests The Boat House. While wine may be what draws people to the area nowadays, it hasn’t always been about vines and corks. With its convenient location at the top end of the state, close to the Bass Strait, the area was formerly used for boat building. Now, The Boat House sits atop an old boatyard used in the late 1800s, with remnants of the lands former use still apparent when the tide is low. Used now as an escape from the city, this timber-clad award-winning home combines the best of both worlds, where old meets new in a quiet corner of Northern Tasmania to be enjoyed by all. The Boat House has two luxurious bedrooms which are mirror images of each other. Both boast their own ensuite, with a luxurious deep freestanding bath, double shower and even an outdoor shower for those wishing to feel at one with nature and inhale Tassie’s fresh air. A central open-plan area combines the lounge, dining and well-appointed kitchen all enjoying panoramic waterfront views and are flooded with natural light. The house is surrounded by fully landscaped native gardens, a secure gated entrance giving you total privacy during your stay. There are two external cameras which cover the entrance and the garage and record movements 24 hours a day. The entire home with the exception of the garage is available to you during your stay. We are available by phone from 8 am to 8 pm if you have any questions during your stay. We would love it if you could message us when you have arrived safely and also a message on leaving is appreciated so we can clean as early as possible for our next guests. Please please let me know as soon as you can if there are any issues at all so I have a chance to take the appropriate action to ensure your stay is it should be - totally stress-free and relaxing!! As I am not always able to personally check the house before your arrival - I am heavily reliant on my housekeeper and I need to know as soon as possible if you and therefore me have been let down in any way by the presentation of The Boat House. Deviot is just a few minutes from country town of Exeter which has supermarkets, banks, library, chemist, hardware, newsagency, hairdresser, prize-winning butcher, bakery, takeaway food, cafe, and hotel. The staff at the tourist information centre in Exeter are very friendly and knowledgeable. A 30 minute drive will get you to Launceston or Devonport which are major regional centres. There is limited public transport in the Tamar Valley region so you will need to have your own transport if you stay at the Boat House and to explore the area. There are two external cameras that cover the entrance and the garage and record movements 24 hours a day. Dear guests, thank you very much for looking after this home and respecting the house rules.

Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn C., Woodinville, Washington Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Home on the River This is a new very nicely designed home on the river a half hour north of Launceston. Very quiet and comfortable home. I'm not giving it a 5 star rating as the windows in the second bedroom couldn't open as the key was lost, was stuffy and would have been lovely to listen to the waves. Two bedrooms are master suites and separated by a living room. Nice layout. Kitchen ware is quality and nice to cook with. Only negatives: beds could be king sized. Its isolated from town and many animals get hit on the roads so we didn't feel like we could go in for dinner. There is also not much of a beach to walk on and the dock nearby says "closed for repair". Small issues. House is one of the nicer VRBO homes we have rented in our 5 months of traveling around Australia. Launceston town is great, farmers market, restaurants, coffee shops, Great drives close by. Manager very kind and nice to work with. ##### Lynn C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria B.

We stayed here for the last 2 nights of a 2 week holiday, and it was perfect for unwinding after a busy couple of weeks. It’s a quiet area, but if you’re after peace and relaxation this house has that in spades. Try the outdoor shower overlooking the river! Great communication from the host, too. Nice proximity to Devonport for arrivals or departures by boat, and only half an hour from Launceston as well. ##### Ros R. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priscilla p.

Everything in the house is finished off beautifully & the views from each room in the property are gorgeous. Such a relaxing place to enjoy a nice getaway. We loved that this place was secluded but wasn't a long drive to go to a restaurant near by and only 25 minutes in to Launceston. Sam was wonderful to deal with and we would love to return to this property in the future. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a getaway to the Boathouse. Thank you for making our stay special! ##### Priscilla p. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020
