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.
The property sits on 7.5 acres (3 hectares) of absolute waterfront with several of its own private beaches where you can launch the kayak (life jackets provided) or just take a stroll and at low tide harvest your own oysters.
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.

Cosy winter getaway
This was our second stay at the Oysterhouse and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The location is spectacular and perfectly balances a peaceful retreat with convenience. The cleanliness of the property is top tier and it is equipped to a point that it feels like a home away from home. The property owners are extremely responsive and we didn’t experience a single issue. Thank you for more wonderful memories, 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

Amazing
We had a week at the Oysterhouse. Beautiful location, words cant describe how scenic this place is. We sat on the deck and saw dolphins and seals. Walking around there were lots of echidnas, wallabies and paddymelons. Beautiful spotted pardalotes flying around. Easy drive to Hobart, Richmond and Port Arthur. Was a perfect stay and just want to thank Nigel for letting us stay in this very special house.

Amazing waterfront views
Location: close to airport and Coal Valley for wine tasting but not the most convenient if you plan to spend a lot of time in Hobart itself. House: Modern, nicely furnished and updated kitchen. Amazing water views through the floor to ceiling windows, we didn't get to sit outside though as it was on the windy / cold side while we were there (mid April) A few items to note: - given the location, there is fair bit of "wildlife" aka insects that get in if you leave any windows or doors so just be aware. - wifi is relatively slow and we couldn't get all our devices to connect, not a big deal for us but FYI in case you are planning to stream a ton of media or do work Zoom calls, probably not the best for that. Also make sure to get the most updated login/password for the host beforehand as the info published via VRBO and on the pamphlet at the house was incorrect. - The house is a ways down a narrow dirt road that may be difficult if folks don't like driving in the dark at night. Wasn't easy to find at first. Lots of animals around so take it slow for sure.
