Cook Up A Storm

Your fully self-contained gourmet kitchen comes with everything you need to cook up a romantic dinner for two. But, if you would prefer someone else to do the hard work, why not request a gourmet Tasmanian dinner platter or venture into town for an evening out? Depending on the night of the week, Post Office 6985 in Dover and Kermandie in Port Huon both serve up delicious local fare.

 

Lace Up Your Boots

At the Boat House, you have over 250 acres of wilderness and waterfront to explore. A newly completed walking track takes you through a range of habitats from dry sclerophyll forest and button grass heathland to tea tree wetlands and rocky shore platforms. As you walk, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife including Tasmanian devils, bandicoots, wallabies, echidnas and wombats as well as over 70 species of bird including the endangered Swift Parrot.
