The Boat House

The Boat House is a private luxury accommodation retreat at The Peninsula Experience, near the fishing village of Dover in southern Tasmania. Set on a private peninsula at Esperance Point, the property provides a secluded coastal setting with water views across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon River, Bruny Island and Port Esperance Bay. Mountain views extend towards the Hartz Range and the South West Wilderness Reserve.

Designed as a romantic getaway for two, The Boat House combines a king-size bedroom with a generous bathroom and a contemporary lounge and dining area. The interiors are modern and carefully considered, while the surrounding landscape provides a quiet backdrop for a restful stay. The accommodation is suited to couples seeking privacy, natural surroundings and a slower pace rather than a busy resort environment.

The wider Peninsula Experience property covers around 250 acres of grassland, forest, water and wildlife habitat. More than eight kilometres of private walking tracks pass through a range of environments, including dry sclerophyll forest, buttongrass heathland, tea tree wetland and rocky shore platforms. These tracks allow guests to explore the property on foot while taking in the changing character of the peninsula.

The Boat House also forms part of a conservation-focused property that includes an animal rehabilitation centre. Its setting supports an atmosphere of seclusion and connection with the landscape, with open water, bushland and wildlife all part of the experience. The accommodation’s contemporary design sits within this natural environment without turning the stay into a conventional city-style escape.

Located five minutes from Dover and just over an hour south of Hobart, The Boat House offers a base for exploring the Huon Valley and the wider far south. The combination of private accommodation, walking tracks, coastal scenery and access to nearby regional attractions makes it suitable for couples looking for an intimate retreat in a natural setting.
