Oysterhouse

Oysterhouse Oysterhouse: where complete privacy and absolute waterfront is yours. 10mins to Hobart Airport, 25mins to the city. Available on AirBNB,

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 oyster farms dotted throughout the estuary. At Oysterhouse there is no sense of dominion over nature, instead there is an intimate relationship with the water and shoreline. Staying in Oysterhouse is a premium luxury experience. Here yo

u 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 bifold 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 . This area is a registered Ramsar international bird sanctuary providing habitat for migratory shorebirds and regionally significant flora and fauna. Seals are also sometimes spotted. The property sits on 7.5 acres (3 hectares) of absolute waterfront with several of its own private beaches where you can launch the canoe (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, TV, DVD (in the cabinet there is an extensive range of DVDs), stereo and radio. In the sunroom there are 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. All three bedrooms are very comfortable, carpeted and have luxury linen. There is a European laundry with 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. If you wish to bring young children this can be discussed.

It’s great that the estuary delivers mulch direct to us just when we need it.

"5/5
Paradise ++
We throughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful and well appointed estuary fronted home. Nigel's thought-provoking artwork and Denise's touches enhanced our 5 day stay well beyond our expectations. Thank you Nigel and Denise for creating a memorable space."

"5/5 Wow, incredible!
My husband and I cannot recommend this property highly enough. We traveled for our 30th wedding anniversary and arrived to a bottle of sparkling, the fire on & beautiful flowers. The place was spotless, the views incredible and we found the property was perfectly situated for exploring the area. The communications from Nigel and Denise were excellent from the time of booking. We'll definitely be back & wouldn't stay anywhere else!"

A recent Oysterhouse review:
"This house is simply STUNNING. From the gorgeous deck and doors/windows facing the ocean, to the art Nigel made himself hanging on the walls…. Honestly it’s been a dream. I’ve never felt such peace. The amenities are great and everything is very easy to follow (instructions wise). It is out of the way, but worth it for those views and beauty. He even left us a welcome gift! Truly my favourite AirBNB stay of my life. Thank you Nigel!"

Oysterhouse rests on the land of the Mumirimina people of the Oyster Bay Tribe who lived here for 2000 generations before being dispossessed of their land in the early 1800s. In the spirit of reconciliation, we pay our respects to their memory and to Tasmanian Aboriginal elders past and present. We acknowledge today’s Pakana (Tasmanian Aboriginal) community as the ongoing custodians and recognise their continuing connection to land, waterways and culture.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

We are feeling chuffed about our latest review:
"Words can’t even begin to describe the peace and serenity we felt in this home and location. My husband caught us a dozen oysters using a scoop crab net without getting his feet wet. We did all our groceries on day 1 and never left till we checked out on day 5. If you love being by the sea and gazing at the stars, cold nights by the fireplace, we highly recommend this beautiful home. It is fully stocked with everything you can think of. It’s definitely a home away from home. Cheers Nigel we loved our stay and seeing the wildlife during the evenings."

"This house is beautiful. The water frontage is exceptional. The setting private and relaxing. The house is beautifully furnished and the pantry the best stocked we’ve ever seen (and we stay at a fair few places!) The deck is beautiful and a private beach and kayaks just made it, great kitchen to cook in. We felt wrapped in luxury and a million miles from the world which was exactly what we were after."
"A view you simply won’t forget. Kitchen facilities are a cook's dream, well equipped. Spacious .. homely with amazing artwork 👌did not want to leave .. highly recommend Oysterhouse."

"Immaculate home away from home. Kitchen is amazing with the sharpest knives and a steam oven that is equally amazing. I would certainly recommend and would like to thank our hosts for an amazing experience that we all needed after a tough year. Artwork was divine. What a perfect “getaway”. Would most certainly like to return."

Our latest review:
As soon as you drive through the gates you feel like you're entering a whole other dimension, then you arrive at the end of the lane to the most amazing house right on the water. You walk in & the natural light just floods the house & you immediately feel like you’re connected to nature. The master suit is breathtaking, the photos honestly don’t do this property justice. We will certainly be returning to this little hidden gem.
