Oysterhouse - A premium luxury experience right by the water.

Oysterhouse is close to the airport (15min), Hobart city (25min easy drive), a central shopping precinct (less than 10 minutes). We are well located to access the Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur and the East Coast. We are also within a short, scenic drive of historic Richmond and the award winning wineries and restaurants in the Coal River Wine Region.

*Looking for a truly special treat? Oysterhouse has its own helicopter pad! If you would like Tasmanian Air Tours to pick you up from the property and take you on a bespoke tour, a picnic on a private beach, a visit to some of the above places or a trip to the city of Hobart please contact us for further details.

You will love our place because here you will feel nurtured by nature in total privacy on an absolute waterfront setting overlooking Pittwater, Borilla Bay and the many oyster farms dotted throughout the estuary.
At Oysterhouse there is an intimate relationship with the water and shoreline.
Staying in Oysterhouse is a premium luxury experience. You will have stunning unparalleled ever-changing views where at every turn floor to ceiling double glazed windows frame the estuary allowing you to observe nature from extreme comfort no matter what the weather. Huge bi-fold doors open on to expansive decking where you may chose to relax on one of the outdoor bean bags, fish off the deck or dine al fresco.
Nearby is a registered Ramsar international bird sanctuary providing habitat for migratory shorebirds and regionally significant flora and fauna.
Seals are often spotted and pods of dolphins are also sometimes seen.
To visit you will leave the main road and enter a private road at the end of which is a historic railway cutting; this is Oysterhouse's private driveway.
In the evenings and early mornings expect to see wallabies, possums and echidnas.
The house is extremely spacious and the lounge is very comfortable with a cosy slow combustion fire, 65inch Smart TV, DVDs (in the cabinet there is an extensive range of DVDs), stereo and radio.
There is a large selection of books and a range of board games.
Heating and cooling can also be achieved from the reverse cycle air conditioner.
There is a gourmet kitchen with fan forced oven, gas plates, microwave/convection oven and steam oven and enough appliances to allow you to cook up a storm.
The master bedroom suite has the essence of a luxury resort. There is a luxury king bed where you can relax and enjoy the uninterrupted views over the water. The other bedrooms are very comfortable, carpeted and have luxury linen.
In the European laundry there is a front-loading washer, washing powder, iron and ironing board.
Older children will love the property but it is not ideal for very little ones due to its proximity to the water however if you wish to bring young children this can be discussed.

Beautiful Oasis

Gorgeous spot just outside Hobart, with open views to the estuary, and wonderfully quiet (no neighbors). Artwork in the home by the owner done in ash are both striking and thought-provoking. Tough to say goodbye!

Close to Hobart but peaceful and amazing views

The property is well equipped,clean and comfortable. Views are amazing and it it secluded and quiet. The owner has some fabulous art work on display which makes it more like a gallery. The only negative for our stay was some friendly wasps who decided to keep coming inside. This property is worth making sure you save time to just be there and enjoy “slowing down”. Highly recommend.

We will be back!

Of our 12 nights and 7 properties this was our favourite. Everything from the beauty of the location (very private and secluded yet 10 mins from town) to the gorgeous design and comfort of the home to the amazing artwork on the walls to the fireplace being ready to just through a match in was delightful. This was only 2 nights but we all wished it was more. Next time it'll be a base for a much longer stay. Thank you so much

Fantastic location

We could not fault our 10 day stay at The Oyster House such a great location.. We took our kayaks and used them nearly every day mainly of a morning as the water was so calm ..A little private cove and private beach made it more special ..Watching the different weather roll in from the large windows was beautiful…Definitely will be returning

If we lived inTassie, we'd be repeat guests.

I don't believe we have stayed in a more relaxing property. It is spacious (the master bedroom & en-suite are probably the largest we have experienced, the king bed comfortable & most welcome), is well appointed with relaxing & clean furniture & has an extremely well-equipped kitchen for those wanting to prepare meals (along with a vast array of cookbooks, spices & condiments).The view overlooking Barilla Bay is definitely the icing. If we found one thing disappointing, it was that there is but one armchair in which to sit close to the panoramic windows & easily image you are sailing across the waters.Yes, it is 30 min to Hobart central for restaurants, but with Barilla Bay oysters, prawns & scallops close by, why would you dine out?Would we stay again? Most definitely.

Water front ambiance

The moment we drove through the old railway cut out between the rocks we felt relaxed. The view from the living area and main bedroom had us feeling like we were floating on the water. The home is warm, welcoming and with every convenience we could’ve asked for. Location ideal and proximity to Hobart makes it feel remote yet so close to amenities in need. A lovely home and stay.
