The Boat House, Dover
An Exclusive romantic hideaway, The Boat House is one of just two accommodations on on a secluded private peninsula with 250 acres of wilderness, wildlife, and surrounding waterfront to explore. This is an accommodation experience to be savoured - take in the breathtaking views from the expansive private deck complete with Hot Tub for two! The Peninsula is for those who enjoy privacy and seclusion, in a magical setting. The property's wilderness and wildlife are yours to explore and absorb, surrounded by the magnificent waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Port Esperance Bay. Boat House guests have access to the entire 250 acre property...complete with its own network of private walking tracks.
The property has two luxury accommodations so we do ask that you respect the privacy of guests at the other accommodation, Cape House on the Peninsula- this is 2km from the BoatHouse and each accommodation is private and exclusive!
The Boat House is an adult only retreat- sorry, no children or pets

Outstanding location and beautiful views
We had an amazing stay in the Boathouse. 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!

Majestical
From the moment we opened the big red gate we felt like we were home. 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.

Wonderful getaway
We loved our three night stay here. Such a remote location. We loved walking around the extensive property. The wood fires and hot spa on the outside deck were heaven. We will return.

Stunning boutique accommodation
Wow- what a spot. We enjoyed our stay immensely, the boat house was private, tranquil, absolute luxury in furniture and fittings. The wildlife, walks on the property, special treats on arrival, sunset on our private beach and comfortable surroundings made this stay so memorable. A truly magical stay. Highly recommended.
