Nestled on the waterfront...
The Bruny Boathouse boasts panoramic views across d'entrecasteaux Channel, Satellite Island & Hartz Mountain propped up in the background. Centrally located in the township of Alonnah on the western side of Bruny Island, The Boathouse is an ideal place to base yourself for everything that Bruny has to offer. Though, giving you the independence to seek some time out.

The Boathouse is suited to all seasons, sit up on the deck, by the fire pit or a deep soak in the outdoor bath tub and watch the yachts glide by, fish from the jetty, swim at the child friendly beach or simply collect shells from Shell Beach down at the front of the property. In the cooler months sit by the generous bifold windows and watch the weather turn across the ocean as you nestle in to a secluded corner of The Bruny Boathouse.
Designed around the boathouse theme, from the moment you open the door you are greeted by a high cathedral ceiling that draws your eye across the main living area to the stunning bifold doors that open right up on to the deck to take in the spectacular panoramic views across d'entrecasteaux Channel.

The furniture and interiors have been carefully sourced to ensure that this is shack living at it's best - beautiful timbers, fabrics, linen and artwork that create a sense of understated charm with absolutely no fuss - you can enjoy all the comforts that The Bruny Boathouse provide, but really focus on the important things like long days at the beach, travelling the island with friends taking in all the stunning sites and scenery, eating at all of the restaurants and cafes on Bruny Island, sampling local whiskies, beers and wine and just forgetting about reality for a while.
