Deviot Boat House - romantic, absolute waterfront
**2019 TASMANIAN HOUSING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION HOME OF THE YEAR AND CUSTOM BUILT HOME OF THE YEAR**
A romantic oasis on the banks of the Tamar River in the midst of the prestigious Tamar Valley wine region.
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.
